Hi all! I’m back for the solo cup challenge! So I germinate my seeds in paper towel soaked in water between two plates, I put it on top of my cable box because it’s just perfectly warm. 24 hrs later the seed has popped open and is ready for planting. The solo cup has been watered 24 hrs ago to get the soilless mix ready. I just make a hole with a pen and then drop the popped seed in. I cover the seed with some soil and then water it a bit more. I’ll update with more pics throughout the week.
Do you buy your mix or you make it yourself?
- If so, Which brand do you use? or What do you use?
You said you water 24 hours before planting - what do you "buffer" it with? Or do you just get it wet with pH water @ X ph? (What pH do you shoot for)
Also if possible can you give us an idea of how long you wait to water again once you've planted and then how much you water each day or however often you water.
Please and thank you AMAZING GROW !
@Johnnyronco, Wow really - im gonna have to look into that nutrients then. I am using General Hydroponics Flora Micro,Gro,Bloom and CalMag plus and the pH must be adjusted because its around 7.2 when feedings are fully mixed. Thanks for that
What about buffering the pro mix though? Do you do anything to it to get it ready 24 hours prior to planting or do you just water it with pH water 24 hours early and then plant and let it chill
@HiGHLYDiGESTiBLE, the soiless medium is “HP promix” I just get it from the local garden store. Also this was a solo cup grow so it needed a lot more watering than it would If say it was a 7 gallon or something. But I use a product called “advanced nutrients” and it gives you perfect PH every time so I don’t even check PH.
Another great grow brother and a fine update to boot. What kind of flavor are you getting with this beauty? I just ordered 3 beans and plan on running them on a future grow. Congratulations again and best of luck in the contest. 👍
