so I wanted to post this in the hydro section, but since the revamp, I cannot find it. I've got a few gardens under my belt with soil, decided to try something new. Also low on funds and resources atm-so the huge bag of chunky perlite I have was calling my name lmao. Here's the skinny:
Strain is a bnew cross-samsquanch og x hbss by mephisto. I whipped up a 5.1 L bucket with a hole 2" from the bottom. The res is straight perlite. The rest of the bucket is perlite/vermiculite in a 3/1 ratio. I rinsed all the perlite thoughouly with phed tap water to 6. Runoff was about 20 ppm above my tap water ppm. Seemed good enough.
Now to the germing
Doing something new here too. Hope it doesn't bite me in the ass(it's all about learning)
I usually germ and strart seeds straight in my soil pots. This time because of hempy, I am germing in a solo cup with a peat, perlite, and mykos mixture. Basically soaked seed for 12 hours, then saturated solo cups with a light nute solution-120ppm, then dropped seed into cup. That's where I'm at-yesterday was day 0, just sprouted. Have no preset watering notions here-just going by the seat of my pants and trying to use my intuition as far as watering the seedling in the cup goes. Any tips very welcome! I might have left things out-kinda a bit rushed atm. Lmk if questions.
Will do weekly pic updates
