Grow Mediums AKsteel's First DWC, Mephisto Mystery Seed

[AKsteel]

Still no visible roots. But more green.

Still growing. No roots yet and I have a DP auto ultimate that is about to pop her head up. I am thinking of pulling the mystery girl and starting over with the Auto Ultimate. What do you all think?

you could always just keep the ultimates in the root riots for a couple days and hand water and see how this girl is going by then?
do you have another bubble bucket

I do have another bucket, it's the space that I am lacking at this point. I was thinking the same thing as you.....hand water the ultimate for a few days and let her get established and then re-evaluate how the mystery is doing. Worst case scenario is the Ultimate goes into a #2 smart pot and goes in the short tent with my cash crops.

Sounds like a plan mate

ive just been checking back through my bucket girl and by day 11 the roots were through the net pot how often do you top water feed and the stones you are using do they absorb water like hydroton clay balls

I don't think the growstone holds water like hydroton. As far as top feeding, if the root riot cube is dry I'll put about 10ml of water on it and then maybe a cup of water over the growstone once per day.

Keep the mystery girl and run the bucket with her! Good practice and she is already tucked in!

To say she is behind the 8 ball is an under statement. I agree with Wile e, by day 12 my current Cherry Bomb was on her 4th node and had 18" long roots hanging in the bucket. What ever happened at the start tripped her up pretty good. But....there is always a BUT....I think you will see her now double in size nearly everyday going forward. I like your plan of giving her a few more days before making the decision on pulling the plug.

Hope she straightens out for your first try my man. If not I bet you grow a monster next time from the lessons learned...
