11/1 In the water - bottled 6.0 - under the eye of the vicious Woodstock on the heated seedling mat.
2 Green Crack going into 5 gallons of washed and buffered coco 60% and perlite 40% using cocotek A and B nuets
No nuets of course
11/2 On the paper towel, all look cracked on quick inspection
11/3 Cracked no tails ... at all... getting nervous... hate this part
11/4 Still no tails, the two Fastberry have already sprouted and been planted. Nervous again lol
11/5 Still no tails, going to drop two more later though Ive no confidence in them at this point.
update:
Holding off dropping two more, getting some activity (not breathing easy yet) from the first two.
Seems my last ditch effort of a 3% peroxide solution soaking the seeds MAY be working.
Wait one more night
11/7 Planted to very very sad germs out of habit more than hope on em.
H2O2 works just wasnt much more to be done on em.
Dropped two more into the water from the second pack of seeds, maybe it matters.
11/9 Tails on both, planted in coco. Looks like that first set of seeds is ... questionable :)
11/12 Finally some green! One is up nothing from the others yet. At least I have a grow now :D
11/13 One is up fairly strong the other is up but not looking as well may be a problem here just watching and waiting.
Calling this Day 1 , will name later if things go well
11/14 New pics, both up looks like I have a grow
Ladies of SciFi... Meet Ripley and Tara
Going to carefully poke around in those first two pots that didnt sprout. See If I can learn anything.
Need to figure out how to prevent that kind of thing.
11/15 New Pic. They growing well now.
Found on the two other pots the seeds never did anything after planting which is what I expected to be honest. Afraid that seed pack is a no-go
Feeding mix - 2 cups at 5.9 of each, .6ml CocoTek A & B, Fish Sh!T to runoff until transplant
11/16 New Pic and Vid The GC is playing a game of catch-up with the Fastberry
Feeding every day now will go to twice daily when large enough.
11/19 Day 6
Really liking the coco coir. two feedings a day at 5ml cocotek A&B and 4 ml Fish Sh!t / gal at 6.0
Meter got in - TDS of the above feed is 575 with tap water being 210 giving a nuet level of 365 well within seedling and early veg limits, so plenty of room down the road.
Will be working it up as I feel right
11/20 End of week 1 ... heh finally :)
Put a lot of thought and study into this and adjusted the feeding. This in response to some slight lightening at the leaf tips suggesting nuets too high.
Water TDS 220 ( gonna have to get a filter soon) so subtracting that I have the solution at 230 ppm (@2.5ml/gal cocotek AB with 2ml Fishsh!t which has little impact on TDS ) PH to 6.1. 450 ppm without adjustment which was my real target here.
Fertigating twice daily to 5% runoff, transplanting when roots start poking out.
Gentlest way I can think of to try and catch these babies up a little.
