Well thank you to all the comments and suggestions. Immediately after last update I covered the bottle with 2 layers of tinfoil to protect the roots from the sunlight. It appears to have worked as roots have reached the bottom of the bottle with one beginning to protrude through the bottom drainage hole (I’m going to trim once it gets through so I can remain in the competition).
As for the watering questions, for the time being I’ve watered her once upon sewing the germinated seed, and again last night (day 17), the latter feeding I added some veg nutes. Once the stem gets too big to top water(if I don’t kill it or if it gets that big) I will set the bottle in a container of water, the bottle will be suspended by gravel and I believe this should allow the roots to suck up the water required.
There doesn’t appear to be any more voids in the medium so I think I added enough soil last week.
Stay tuned and watch this “experiment”
@DonaldTrump, bottles significantly smaller than a solo cup and roots never get longer that 1/4 inch leaving the one drainage hole. Suck a fat one 👍 from the White House
@ButtersStotch,Snipped? Roots can't leave the cup or bottle. Look @ me I grow my roots out the bottom of the bottle for a week then practice my new trade circumcision. DQ 👍👍 From The White House
