DAY 22: The plants have responded well to the repotting of last week. The new leaves are beautifully green and the roots are already fully developed. ๐
DAY 26: I have too many plants. This is because all seeds germinated and have grown into beautiful plants (except one). ๐ป Because I would like to continue growing with the autopots (and I do not have 20 autopot pots) I decided to plant 4 plants per pot (4 x 4 = 16). ๐ I take a certain risk, but because the plants will grow for only one extra week, I hope the plants will not grow too much in height. My intention is not to top the plants, but to tie them up against the planting sticks that I have placed in every corner of the pots.๐
For the pot mix I have re-used and upgraded the soil mix from my previous culture (El Patron) by adding the additives listed below. Unlike the last time, I filled the bottom 5 - 10 cm of the autopots with clay pebbles.
Pot mixture:
+ - 100 liters of recycled soil (50% perlite)
250 gr. Startex:
200 gr. Seaweed lime
100 gr. Kieseriet
100 gr. Betonite
25 gr. Mycotrex en RQS Easy Roots (Mycorrhiza)
I used 3,5 tablets per 24-liter pot (I didn't have enough Biotabs to use four per pot). ๐
I watered the pots with 15 liter water with 15gr. Bactrex & 30 ml. Orgatrex. ๐จ
Wait and see how this experiment ends .... ๐
@YellowGrow, Roots like to cross. Roots love to cross, they can even exchange information that way. I once saw 36 beautiful plants in one large box measuring 1m x 1m. Wonderful result. ๐๐๐
