#seedsmanhalloweengrowoff and #SeedsmanSeeds
π Week 1, 13-19 November 2024
13 Nov - Root appeared through the RootRiot cube, moved seedling to permanent 2gal DWC home (see pictures). Adjusted light DLI to 18.
14-19 Nov - Let seedling grow.
π In Deep Water Culture, it is very hard to sprout a seed directly in the βpermanent homeβ. It is more designed to receive a seedling rather than sprout one. This of course is my experience and the reason why I allow root to appear from the rootriot cube before moving the seedling into its permanent home, I know the plant has began to search for water. I plant it where the root will go through a hole in the bottom of the basket, then fill the basket with expanded clay. The seedling has immediate access to the nutrient reservoir. It is an easy but tedious process, I do not water from the top, other than a daily top off. The nutrient solution for the first 2 weeks is minimum and will not burn the plant or roots.

That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.
