Coco nutrients etc..

[Meraxes]

a litle help?

i'm starting a few seeds in coco too, they are in the pots now and i've been watering it just with distilled water...
is there a problem with that?

after 4 days only one seed sprout..

it's my first grow ever!



sorry for using your post weedss, hope you don't mind!
and good luck!

hey cristo, yeah sometimes it will take up to 10 days to sprout, so just amke sure you are at 5.8 PH with your water. and you should start them in a smaller pot or 16oz cup first so they can get some good roots before you put them in the bigger pot. if you dont have a ph meter or kit definately get one, you'll need the ph down, also a TDS meter to measure ppm for nutrients.

actually I will go find out. hey merx is there any sick movie you can recomm? anyway i gotta go to bed work to go tomm. I am quieting my job on 28th gotta look for another one soon. I want to teach kids one by one like tutoring, makes more money haha . I need to save some money to get my own place when my plant is time to flower !! since i don't have carbon filter i am looking for a place somewhere far from living zone like abandon place ? haha later man

well i wouldnt move your plant around during flower you'll shock it. i definately wouldnt stay in an abandoned place either weedss

 

[weedss]

yeah prob one week before flowering. i thought it would be better me to stay somewhere there are no people, what is your point on this?. I really can't find any limestone .. but I want to mix it with coco to make stable PH..

why are you guys doing lucas? to much K, and shown that 100 K is perfectly fine in coco ( head formula 6/9 )

look at alot of coco formula and you'll see low K in there.

hey merx, I received the shitload of Epsom salt and i have tomato going in my aerogarden lol. a little yellow spots on the side leaves. I think they need some cal mag?. should i put some 1/2 tsp into AG?? it's a 1 gal water tank

you allready got all your stuff? that was quick

nah, not all of them. TDS/PH meter,Bloom/Micro/Coco is still on the way.
In my country shipping only take 1day, maximum 2 day kk.

use those plugs to germ. you didnt have problems germing, just afterwards with the light

 

[weedss]

well i was going to put it in the water until descent top root comes out. you don't recommend of doing this?

If you can get rapid rooter plugs,germ the seed directly in the plug just keep it moist under humidity dome. Just plain ph'ed tap water is what I like to use keep the plugs kinda moist and spongy squeeze out any excess water,under the dome you shouldn't have to wet them for a least a day or two,just make sure you don't over water them slightly moist is good. Once they break surface you can leave the dome on for couple more days just make sure you have a little air flowing around them. In a few days you should have roots coming out of the plug. At this time is when I transplant to 8oz-12oz cups also give them 4 grams gallon maxibloom also 1/2tsp gallon calmag. After one week I give full strength maxibloom 7 grams per gallon and 1/4-1/2 tsp calmag depending on if I use ro or tap water.

I have aerogarden which is hydor, rooter plugs came with it. I have to poke a hole and bare the seed to middle of it and then aft 1 or 2day, I have to take the seed out and cut the sponge to half to make sure top root is facing down. If not, top root will be come out upside down nd die. anyway, thank for your input dude.

edit- and the aerogarden water pump goes 24/7 which is water comes directly on sponge nd stays wet.

what kind of rates do you get with rapid rooters bra? i was looking at the sunleaves plugs bc i've heard theyre less dense and roots move easier. really searching for the most foolproof method, sick of losing seeds and rockwool def sucks balls with coco

Dude, you're putting the seed in upside-down.
