4/25 Just one seed was placed in a shot glass with tap water. I then prepped a new coco mix with intentions of letting it sit for a day or two. The new mix is about 75% canna coco brick and 25% perlite, and it’s worth mentioning there is also a small amount of fine vermiculite in my perlite. I hydrated the brick with RO water that has been treated with mosquito bits to preemptively kill any fungus gnats. I then added in prilled gypsum at .5 tsp/gal and wollastonite at 1 tsp/gal.
4/27 She has a decent little tap root now so it’s time to go in a solo cup. I took a lighter to the 4 corners of a solo cup to make drainage holes and filled up with the new coco mix. I’ve learned to always flush coco NO MATTER WHAT the manufacturer says on the label, so before the seed goes in, I’ll take that solo cup to the sink and flush it with my starter water mix. The water mix starts with 1 gallon of RO water, and then added in is 3mL 35% H2O2, 3.5mL of calmag, 1.25mL of Flora Micro, and 1ml of Rapidstart. This gives me an EC of about .6. I tested the initial runoff EC from the solo cup at a whopping 1.9, so I just slowly flushed the cup out with the .6 EC water until I got the runoff to read a much lower .7. Finally after all that in to the solo cup she goes and it’s time to wait.
4/29 She has popped up and looks healthy. I’ll just mist with tap water occasionally for now to keep humidity levels up and keep on waiting. Tomorrow starts day 1 of veg.
