Ive put those seeds directly into my substrate, like i always do, on the 10th of August. Exactly 72 hours later, on the 13th, they all popped up and showed their germination leafs.
Substrate is a mix of peat, pumice, sand & vermiculite. It is my first time growing in a substrate which is that poor in nutrients. Normally i would use my homemade living soil, but ive had a major fungus gnat infection which im trying to eradicate at the moment which is why im using this. But it is also some kind of Experiment i am doing, as i have not seen many growers use "hydroponic" /nutrient poor substrate paired with the "living soil" approach & organic feeding.
So be hyped with me!
We are planning to repot the 4 strongest plants into their "real" home after about 14 days of vegetation. Their home is gonna consist of 2 substrate levels in a 40l container. The bottom 2/3 is going to be the substrate ive used for germination, which i mentioned above, the top third is gonna be a layer of my homemade living soil.
Ive set their homes up already a week prior to germination and moistened it to let it cook together, so the living organisms could colonize the bottom subtrate before transplanting.
I am going to feed my plants purely organic/natural material by top dressing with different amendments and by watering with homemade nutrient ferments.
Keine Ahnung warum ich mir Vogelsand immer noch nicht besorgt habe. Die Viecher nerven meinen Hausdrachen bei jedem Grow. Sie meckert schon ewig aber ja beim nächsten run. Good Move Kumpel.
