Runtz - Eternity Grow Cup 2025 - PLAGRON x Zamnesia

A week has passed from germinating the seeds so lets start counting veg days. Fifth seed has still not popped and probably wont at this point, but we'll give it another week. One of the germinated seeds also tear one of the cotyledon leaf by itself somehow and seems to have damaged the apical meristem too while doing that, so the growth is a bit stunted on that seedling but we'll give it a chance too, sometimes its the ones that struggle in the beginning that surprise you in the end. :) I will be transplanting the seedlings into 7,5cm x 7,5cm rockwool cubes after they have enough roots growing out of the coco plugs, until that I will be keeping them under a humidity dome. I was thinking of dedicating two NFT systems for the four popped seedlings, but depending on how the one with stunted growth keeps going, I might end up putting all into one NFT. Mixed a few litre nutrient solution containing nutrients listed above (some with half the recommended dosage to start with) that I will be using to keep the coco plugs moist. EDIT: We started having enough root growth poking out of the coco plugs so I transplanted them into the rockwool cubes. I presoaked the cubes using pH 6.1 water and got rid off the excess moisture. After that I placed the coco plugs in small net pots into the rockwool cubes (to mitigate the risk of stem rot, no direct contact between the coco plug and rockwool cube so the coco plug wont get and stay oversaturated when placed into the NFT system). All four are growing pretty much as expected, even the damaged one seems to survive even though lagging a bit behind. Luckily we are not in a rush! :) The seedlings will stay under a ventilated humidity dome for now. Next update will be week 2 of veg. I will probably be providing the plants with some exposure to metal halide light after a few days of getting used to the rockwool cubes.

Everything is going well and pretty much as expected even though I must have gotten bit unlucky with the seeds, we have some interesting growth on one of the plants and another one almost decapitated itself right at the beginning and one didnt germinate. But they are alive and growing, we'll see what comes out of them and hope for the best! They've been under a metal halide light with some other plants, kept in a humidity dome. The three biggest plants have some healthy white roots growing from the bottom of the rockwool cubes, nothing crazy yet. Its so humid in the humidity dome that the rockwool cubes havent really had the chance to dry out at all which would be good for the roots to have to search for water bit more. But we're not in a rush anyways, need a few weeks for an NFT system to be free for the Runtz. So the roots have plenty of time to grow until the plants go in the NFT. I've also started to crack the humidity dome more to get the plants acclimatized, will be removing the humidity dome soon completely.
