3 days waited for radical to split, only 3 had split so potted then into echthrive coco 70/30 with charge I believe they where abit cold !! My bad
I then put them in my small tent with light on to keep warm 9 out 10 emerged over about 5 days two Maby a little late
Just feeding water ph 6.0 as the coco is supposed to have something from that charge in it
I splashed abit of voodoo juice in a couple times
And a sprinkle of great white shark on top of coco to water in
Hell of a week but pulled out the other end strong
Went in on first feed with 1ml litre cal mag and 0.5 ml of A and B ppm was about 300
Second feed was just 0.5 ml of A and B
I’m not sure why I hadn’t checked run off until now Maybe because I’d just fed water and thought I had ready to use co co!! So I checked to find ppm’s where 1750!! Shit myself !! I thought how could that much build up have come from the first feed the pots had hardly dried out!
So they they where flushed right out with water ph 6.0 till 100ppm then fed with water bumped up to 100ppm with cal mag (my tap water is around 20/40 ppm) then 0.5 ml A and B
A and B was increased throughout the week as run off ph was always high for some reason after I got too 1.5 ml of A and B run off ph came true to in put and ppm always slightly under input
Iv used voodoo juice and tarantula a few times randomly by them selfs with feeds at 1ml per litre hopefully will get some nice big roots from it
Growth has been fast plants look great beside a couple rust/ brown spots from the start of the week but there has been no progression of this after it appeared
Sorry no pics on this week
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 👊
Feed was increased slightly with good results
With the Plants drinking pots rather dry between feeds before the defoliation
Training has started with toping at the 5th node and tying branches down to the same level as best I could
Some have taken shape better then others and I have two small one that will have to wait till there bigger
@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 🤙
