Hi all! I decided to start another grow in coco. Using airpots and 75/25 coco/perlite branded mix.
Going to use T.A. (GHE) DualPart Coco, Root Booster, Seaweed, Fulvic, Calcium Magnesium, Bloom Booster, Ripen, and FlashClean. Also, Voodoo Juice and BudCandy from AN.
Well… First mistake was not long to wait. I used bad water for germination because I was sure it’s ok as usual. It was 220 ppm when I decided to check. Then I flushed eazy plugs with distilled water and surely forgot to check its pH. Finally flushed them again and used paper towels to remove excessive moisture.
One seed sprouted on day 3 after soaking in water. Planted both in cups with coco/perlite. Covered cups with black/white plastic to protect roots from light.
Used 0.5 ml/l T.A. DualPart Coco Grow, Bloom, 2,5 ml/l Roots Booster. Then diluted to get desired ppm. No pH down was necessary this time.
Inflow/runoff before planting: 250/250 ppm, pH 6.4/6.4.
This branded coco is very clean. Will water them manually for few days. Then transplant into 15L air-pots.
Waiting for another seed to germinate. If it doesn’t sprout in 2 days I will go single seed for this grow. Don’t want to overload the box. Nothing wrong with 50% germination success here.
UPD: Going one seed in coco this time. Thinking about another one in 1,5 months or so. We’ll see.
The large seed didn’t germinate. My bad. I’m happy with one seedling anyways. Giving it 10 DLI.
Day 5:
Coco is still moist, but the cup is loosing weight. I will feed manually before transplanting into the final 15L pot. Drip watering will be installed with no automatic drainage removal. I will use the second pump for soil grow.
