Week: 2 - Day: 8
During the week the Hydro Corn Clay pebbles growing medium was washed and then conditioned.
The pebbles were conditioned in a nutrient solution that has been listed below for 2 days prior to being used.
The Grodan rockwool cube was also washed and then conditioned for the same amount of time as the Clay Pebbles.
The rockwool cube was conditioned in
a slight weaker nutrient solution than the details that are listed below.
To get everything ready each nutrient solution was drained away for both the clay pebbles and rockwool cube which were then left to sit out for a few minutes.
It was then time to place the rockwool cube on top of the clay pebbles.
This step usually doesn't need to be done, its really for my own preference as i like to be able to watch the progress.
Now to check which seedling will go on into the DWC bucket, can you guess which one was chosen?
The main tap root on this seedling is like nothing i have seen before, an 8 day old seedling with a 30cm taproot.
Safely transplanted on into the rockwool medium. Hopefully in a weeks time this baby with the giant taproot should be in the Water.
