For seedlings:

i start the seedlings in solo cups like clones but when they are tall enough to take the tops off for a clone i put the rooted bottoms in flower still in the solo cups.

by the time the cuts are good and rooted the bottoms are showing sex.

everything is tracked and dated of course.

if for some reason the cut doesn't root i can re-veg the donor if i think it's important enough.

because i am ruthless about culling weak or slow plants i can whittle down a seed pack in short order so it's seldom necessary to re-veg by the time the cuts are good and rooted the bottoms are showing sex.

that’s definitely proper info but wondering as far as germination -> planting. anyone just plant a germed bean right in media? or is rapid rooter or the similar preferable..?

I take seeds out of my wet paper towel as soon as they have a tail at least a half inch long and plant them straight into a Hempy solo cup using straight perlite. Never had any problems this way, but I'm still fairly new to the game.

brother, been PPKing since the first days of 'Passive Plant Killer' thread.. D9 was thinking different and backing his theories with success. I'm no scientist and do it in a backwards state (Florida) so my endeavors are small and personal but after one gets over what nutrient 'I'm going to use' at whatever strength and follows a few nutrient flow rules WTF is there? Strain hunting!

I have too many now! whats left? Don't want to argue or debate the PPK/Jacks+CA process?? I too have written the 'boring' post and it can be but frees up the mind to think out of the box...Hello 9.

Hey guys I have a ppk grow going at the moment using floranova grow (Got a bit lazy and like to try different nutes, 1 part appealed to me). Anyway I filled my res's at .9 pump and 1.1EC top off (both ph 5.8) and let shit go for a week, when I checked again it was .9ec and ph 5.3 in the pump tank, while top off tank was drained...

Does this signal a root problem with the ph dropping instead of rising? Plants look sweet as, but last run using a clean 2 part nute I only ever had slight rising of ph and lowering of ec. Thought that's how shit was meant to be?

Have a circulating pump in top off tank hooked up to same timer as feed pump. Only being fed twice a day though will now bump that up to 4 times. Point of that statement is both tanks getting circulation twice daily.....

Thoughts?

Cheers
