Day 21 From Sprout - Rez Change
Overall, very happy with the development over this past week. The ones that were already looking good at now looking great!
The couple of “weirdos” (strange development of leaf/node placement) both have decent roots but are growing slowly.
The couple that initially were throwing out more “jagged” leaves seemed to have settled in and are looking good now.
Only 1 (back right corner) is iffy.
Roots are slowwwwly dropping out of the basket but not yet in the water. Going to keep
It around for now and see what happens.
Continuing with Mantis @ the “always” rate of 5 ml/L. They’re loving it!
Several of the “great ones” have 5-6 nodes developed, so I’ll top them back to the 3rd more and start training into a manifold since I’m going to give some of the others time to catch up. I’ll decide on training for them as we go.
Hi! Really interesting diary, looking good :) How is the plan with roots hanging in mid air going to pan out? Are they in some reservoir normally and just out for the picture?
@dancingshrubbery, I took the pics at my weekly Rez Change before installing the new solution. When they’re just starting out, I keep the water level about 1/4” below the net pots to encourage roots to drop. Once that happens, I lower the water level somewhat , but roots are always in water 😎
