The seedling stage is kinda rough as a grower. 90% of this time is fighting the urge not to love the young things to death. I busy myself with prep work for when it's time to up my pot size. Hydrating coco for the first time was interesting. I probably used about 12 or 13 gallons of water at least to expand a 5kg brick. Impressed with the water retention. After a thorough rinse I mixed in roughly 30% perlite and filled my 5 gal pots and the solo cups I'll be transferring the seedlings into from their shot glass cups. The day after transfer, I give the seedlings their first "feeding", though it's so dilute it's barely worth mentioning. 1/8 tsp each of my trio(BTW, when did General Hydroponics become Terra Aquatica? lol) to a gal of water. The well water I have is pretty hard so I'm gonna mix it with bottled water(spring preferably) to get the PPM down under 200(before nutes) at least lol. If I was using soil it would be straight water but since coco is inert I figured a small smattering of micro nutrients might be wise in case they need anything. Will flush with water between feedings and I like to let little ones run a little dry to get those roots really searching. The eager beaver in me won out momentarily and I upped my light to 75% after feeding but turned it back to 50% after about 12 hrs. Little early for all that yet- not enough leaf realistate for much photosynthesis anyway. I was mostly concerned about stretching but I'll just lower the light a little more if I think it's an issue for now. ** 11/1 Edit. Gave a light 30ml watering on 10/31. Progressing nicely.
