Hi One & All
Building a non conventional setup have plenty still to do but will document as much as possible and catch up soon!!
I am a bit of a tech head and in the process of installing and configuring a system that will be able to log everything over the entire process.
Will also post about automation and control system implementation further down the line using sonoff wifi enabled devices for monitoring and control.
My lighting will probably raise many eyebrows but we will get into that later
For starters here we go!!!
Soil composition is exactly the same throughout season, used for germination and when transplanting into 20 Liter (5gal) potting bag.
SUBSTRATE MIX RATIO:
3 x Gromor Potting Soil 30dm
1 x Gromor Lawn Dressing 30dcm (Rich Fine Soil consistancy)
4 x Perlite 5 dcm (10 dm)
4 x vermiculite 5 dcm (10 dm)
1 x Coco Coir +- 30dm
SOIL TESTED AT 6.8 Ph on Mixing
Mycoroot Super Booster - Microrhizal mixed in
SOIL TESTED AT 6.0PH
Nutrients: (will confirm notes and edit this)
Soil drenched pre potting and seeds placed directly into the soil
My Golden Rule:
****DO NOT TOUCH YOUR SEEDS OR HANDLE THEM IN YOUR HANDS EVER*****
Depth NO MORE THAN 10mm
The results will be a much higher success rate germinating.
I don't know if its the human electrical system , oil or secretions from the body but it definitely does affect success rate.
Tested this personally many times before
Voila --100 % Germination
First to break ground
2 Acapulco Gold , 1 Slurricane , 1 Sour Diesel in 4 days The rest were all up in 7 days
