Okay here we grow! I am new here so this will be my first diary published. I do keep very detailed notes on every grow. Will try to keep this a bit condensed. My goal here is personal pleasure I hope a few of you take the ride with me.
Yesterday beans arrived ahead of schedule. Ph balanced distilled water to 5.8 for an 18 hour presoak.
Placed in paper towel for 24 hours 3/8th inch tap root developed.(sorry no pic of the sprout)
Transferred to rockwool cube.
Sanitized the 2ft x 4ft grow tent and all equipment.
9/20/18 About 1/2 inch out of rockwool. Looking forward to cotyledons soon.
9/21/18 Forgot to mention I am providing heat from the top and ambient light from the side. Will be rotating about every 10-12 hours . Goal being to establish stronger main stem to facilitate the weight of main-line manifold.
9/24/18 Closing this week out by placing this gangly girl in hydroton. Will introduce small amount of nutrients (1/2 ml FloraMicro, 1/4ml FloraGro, 1/4ml FloraBloom per gallon). Ph to 5.7
The lanky stems I grow are not by accident. Once placed in the DWC bucket the roots will be close to the solution, stem will remain in the dry section while the leafs are in the air. Will try to post a video of my transplant to hydroton method.
im not an expert but..............................ive never knew any body who wants to grow weak long stems................................but as i said i have no clue🙏
