So switched from 24 hour light to 18 this week which was about day 14 after last seed spread his wings also potted up from seed cups to 1.5l pots on same day, used plenty of great white shark when transplanting, roots fully stocked n crisp white, growth seems to have continued as normal. fast!!
So I had to wash the coco from ecothrive after filling each new pot I applied a flush feed at 450ppm! run off was 1500ppm not happy as I thought this product was to be used strait from the bag washed n buffered.
This is what I believe stitched me up in the beginning i should of checked before using it and not assume it’s all good because you’ve bought a premium product
Coco wash washed with ph’ed water 6.0 until ppm was under 50 then used 10 litre of AN’s cal mag at 2ml per litre half was flushed through left for 30 min the other half was flushed though again this was hopefully to buffer the coco in case it wasn’t as this coco is not what it says on the tin so far then flushed 10 litres of just a and b at 350 ppm run off was around 400ppm
I then transplanted
All seems well and happy
Open to others opinions and experience’s with echthrives coco with charge I believe Iv done the right thing because I’m sure those bad leaves are from the Unflushed coco I used in the beginning
Friday update
Feed was every other day this week to allow the pots a little time to dry out before the next feed hoping to get those roots searching the pot
I’ll mention after I transplanted and watered in with feed I placed the pots on a large bath towel for a few hours to draw some of the saturation out it left the pot much lighter then after they where left to drain on there on accord again hoping for root exploration
On Fridays feed I checked the bottom of the pot to see if much had made it down there, I wasn’t really expecting to see anything so soon but every pot had at least a few big old roots poking out and EC 7 was pushing them out am pretty stoked with these results
All in all I think the great white shark along with AN’s piranha, tarantula and voodoo juice
Are doing a smashing job of building root stock
I can’t wait to transplant again and get a good look in!! Also hoping my little efforts to keep the pots a little dryer from the norm are helping stimulate root production along side the additives
Fridays feed was up to 2ml per litre of voodoo piranha and tarantula 👊
@Southeast, thanks bruv it’s just a 2ft t5 maxigrow I believe its 100w cheap and cheerful, Iv found it’s pretty perfect for this tent and doing seedling keeps them warm too hence the 24 hour light schedule till now 🤙
