Microgrow in 10g of Soil. Those Nutrients and Beneficals showed great Performance. Especially the " fast Plants Spray was a Gamechanger and saved my Grow
March, 24th.
I harvested today half of the " Runtz"- Ladies 3 Plants still growing .
What a Journey,
I enjoyed this "Egghunt " so much
Last Decemmber @Silky_smooth, wrote me, if i want to participate into a Challenge
called " Egghunt"
That means growing a Plant from Seed into 50g Of Soil// Medium
That means as much as fit into an Eggshell.
So i did not think a lot and said yes. And the " EGGHUNT" begun.
I started looking for funny // sweet little Growcontainers, and I found some Fancy ones.
Black Sheeps, white Sheeps, ( Eggcups) , and some Tealightholders, one like a Rabbit, and a " Bridge"
i filled Soil into the Cups, and Into the Sheepcups were under 10 gram of Soil. The " cups" from the Bridge had 35 g
Sooooo... challenge accepted!!
In the Beginning it was hard to me not to overwater them.But they Mastered my drownings very well
After 14 Days i had to manage the Feeding of the Girls. Until that time they only got Beneficals and the Nutes from the 10g Soil.
But i got some help from my Growmies, how to feed them , ( not over and underfeed).....Stoney gave me the Hint for an EC of 1000-1200
And so i did it
I mixed bigger amounts of Feedingsolution, and the little Cups were diving into the Feedingsolution daily.
I could see they got nice color and look fresh again.
The bigger they got, the more they liked to drink
Then i switched after 5 Weeks from Vegetation into Floweringmode.
So they were diving 2 times in the Day into the Feedingsolution. not every Day, but very often..
From there on, it became much easier to me. Because i could see what they need.
And the Fun began.
Buds were swelling, and Flowers were smelling.
In the last 2 Weeks i topdressed with laygranules, to keep humidity into the Cups
Until we reached Today..
So Today i cut them and ooked into the cups, and i got to say,,, i could snot see any sooil, only ROOTS....
Solid , totally woven Roots. Most of the Soil was flushed away from the divings.
But Plants looked good until last Day
CONCLUSION:
I learned so much in this Challenge.I learned so much about Watering/Feeding.. and having Fun on the Little Things
I feel like i have Grown, together with my little Plants. I feel very confident to do Soilless/ DWC or any other grow
hahaha... I feel like i can grow everything...
I hope you had the same Fun like me into that " EGGHUNT"
And thank you @Silky_smooth, for asking me to paricipate
Legalize that wonderful Plant!!!
@Polaskis,thy very much... its interesting how many Eggcups you can find , just look at ebay thats insane....
and i like the black , grass chewing sheep the most,,,,, they are just like me^^,,,hahaha
What an insightful post and the information learned about feeding will be invaluable.
That's quite a few words starting with In'. ๐
Congrats on the grows all so cute and the plants look great at the finish. Really good fun๐๐
Just saw that crazyness and thought I am way too high to give a proper answer but I think I like it. I like that you see growing as a lifestyle and not only for the biggest harvests.
The diaries you have fun without any pressure are normally the best ones.
Just prepping something different grow methods. Trying two Bonsais and a test with polymersiation-beads luked with nutrition as "soil".
@MarcXL,you nailed it....and yes now i have a name for my kind of growing... its my lifestyle....i was not thinking about it... but you defined it clearly
and your ploymer beds sounds interesting,,, keep us updated
