Never worked with E&F or rockwool. But I hear really good things and I figgure with a lil help, even an old cranky guy can learn summtin different.
Here's the bad news - I sprouted 40 seeds and placed them gently into growdan plant starters that had been soaked in pH 5.5 tap. And rinsed them with 6.2 adjusted tap.
I am planning on letting them sprout in the starter plugs then moving the plug to 6-inch cubes.
I have 3 different areas - floro, 400MH on a mover and 1000W Hps on mover. - I want them into the 1000W area asap to finish vegging and let me get the room checked. (New room entirely, never had it running 100%)
So far temps in the room are stabile at 78F hiighs and 70-ish lows.
The starter plugs were pretty cool, (temp wise) I think due to evaporation, so I moved them back to the monitor - I'm trying to get the temps of the rockwool up to 77 or so. I move them back and forth - glad I have some time to spare at the moment.
I'm thinking I should let them sprout and get started to where roots are to the bottom of the plug - then give them a hom in a 6-in cube - veg a bit get my clones and sex then - they are all hermi seeds of some of BOG's work - so most will be hermi prone girls.
I plan on using Pure Blend Pro; Grow, Flower and Cal-Mag
My water for soil is stabilized at 6.2 to 6.3, TDS measures abuut 175 out of the tap.
How soon do I nute the water?
And with how much of what - and what pH for seedlings
I've reviewed threads on Rockwool and PBP - and will be reviewing again - I don't think I can endure another gardening catastrafee any time soon.
What am I forgetting?
Missing?
I know it's asking alot, but could I get some extra guidance and support?
This "Dro" stuff is scarry to ol dirt types just getting thier feet wet for the first time - and seedling are soo touchy.
Thanks!
