First time growing in DWC. I ran a test grow with spare seed. The grow is fine with just few minor issues that seems to be fixed. Still dialing up the system.
As I have issue with very soggy rockwool cubes and stunned grow I decided to test sligthly different germination technique.
Germination directly in rockwool
Advanced nutrition - root stimulator 1ml/1
Only 35ml water per rockwool, ph6. This is preventing the cube from sogging too much.
Place the seed directly at the cube
If the cube becomes dry, just add 5-10ml
After 4 days all the seeds germinated :)
Доста добре поникват така, но трябва да се внимава с водата, че кубчетата лесно се наквасват.
day1 manual watering until the roots reach the watering
day4 American Pie root reached the watering
day6 AK Mir roots are showing out of the netpot
day7 water turned into swamp. Strangely not any smell at all. I changed the water with only Plagron A+B, Ph 6.8, EC 460 (PPM 230).
Roots are bursting through the netpots.
