I let the cups get light and show drying out without getting dry enough to separate from the sides. I added well water mixed with rain to the bottom of the tray. I have no chlorine in my water and it is high in calcium.
Watering from the top and not getting the soil good and wet and keeping it wet down where the roots were was how I screwed up. This time I have drainage holes in the cups, and they are on stands so the water can run out. Are your sprouts in happy warm water?
Yes I get a cup or two of warm tap water and mix it half with rain, the temp is medium warm that way, and it's not as full of minerals as my tap water. I make sure the water is above all the weep holes that I put in the bottom lip of the cup.
it will wick up ward through the soil. Tonight the tray was almost dry and the soil was moist on all the cups. Watering form the top can dislodge seedlings. I learned the hard way.
I put a mix of rain and warm well water in the bottom of the tray
I always bottom water my seedlings. The cups have holes in the bottom rim to slow water the soil mix
Bottom watering keeps you from flooding the seed out of the soil or the soil lifting ...after the root balls form I will transfer to bigger pots and start top watering
I put them in my mars hydro tnt with the tsw2000, I set the light about eighteen inches over the plants and ran in fifty percent. We will raise the number gradually increasing over a month or so. I will place the pineapple thai out side then flower the dancehalls. The Romulan grapefruit clones are around the edge and will then be flowered and pollenated
Ok I about killed them. Not sure what I did wrong but the tent was way humid and light were low.
I moved the seedlings and mom's to my closet and went back to using CFLs over them. I'm running my clones in the tent with the light raised quite a bit. I am thinking or using a different hanging apparatus from what was sent. Will keep you posted.
I moved the Romulan grapefruit clones in the tent and put the Dancehall plants and pineapple thai plants in my old grow closer after the LED and tent nearly killed them. I have since moved the pineapple thai to the greenhouse
The humidity has been a real bitch. It has rained every day and my studio is staying humid with the ac running. I dropped the vivosun fan and it busted all to shit. I rebuilt it and put it in their but it's still running close to eighty percent at times.
The fucking vivosun fan that busted after hitting the floor from a three foot drop and I repaired...has crapped out again!
I'm pissed I'm going to grow store to buy a new one
Fck Amazon crap and cheap chinese busht
