Well, the girls made it to Manifold cutting #1. Looking really healthy, it's always a bit difficult to do this, even when you know it really works out in the end. Both girls were at 7-1/2" pre- and back to about 5-1/2" post-manifold. During the next week, I'll switch to Fox Farms week 5 formula, and will also start light foliar feeding 2x week. Sorry about limited photos on K-2 - I was in the groove and forgot to take pre-manifolding pictures, lol.
When I planted soaked seeds in Fox Farm ocean, my seeds did not germinate. Growers said soil was too hot. For my current plants, I mixed neutral seed mix into the top 2-3 inches of ocean soil. My ladies are now in week 5 😄 yay.
@Natrona, I agree, it can run a bit hot. I don't put them in "real" soil right from germination - My girls start out in peat discs until they have a tap root of around 1", then into Solo cups. I added extra perlite to my Fox Farms soil when I transplanted into the Solo cups, and then again on the last transplant into 2-gal fabric pots. Hope this helps! Happy growing!
