HBSS/Think Big - July 19, 2024

6 seeds were started in Rapid Rooters in the windowsill. Used plain bottled water until they germinated and a root was seen emerging from the Rooter. I then moved them to their DWC bubbleponics set up in the grow tent with lights scheduled to be on 18 hours per day. All but one germinated but we put her in a bucket anyway just in case and have been top - watering that one. Put water in buckets higher than normal, touching the baskets so that the clay pellets stay moist this week as the baby roots grow. Nuted well-water with General Hydroponics based on the week 1 schedule on GrowWeedEasy, Also used 1 tsp of hydroguard per bucket. Ph'd up to around 6.0. Each bucket holds about 3 gallons of water usually and I use that as my basis for measuring nutes even though the buckets are more full this week (so nutes are a little dilute). Each bucket has an air stone in it, but no top watering paraphernalia, as I just check them once or twice a day to make sure they aren't dried out until the roots grow down. There are grow baskets in the lid of each bucket and I seat the Rapid Rooter in expanded clay pellets.
