After great growth this week, it was time to transplant the Kraken girls to their final homes - 2-gallon fabric pots by Opulant Systems. At transplant, I increased the Mars Hydro TS-1000 to 75% strength. Initial watering at transplant was Fox Farms week 2 full strength with 1/8-tsp cal-mag added. Brought pH up to 6.5 for the week. Going to give the girls a week or so to adjust to new environs, then start the manifolds.
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!
