Ok I'm all set... Beans have cracked... Rock wool cubes are soaking in a little pH'd Rhizotonic mix... All instruments calibrated.. All lights still working... & so on.
The beans will go into their cubes & airtight box in an hr or so.. 1 had cracked when I got up this morn & now has a little tail & the other has just cracked in the last hr.... So all good in the hood... Well done DP for the good beans... Now to get their heads up!
I mixed a little test run of the pH perfect nutes last night @ 1/8 strength... Just to see where my EC would be roughly & to see if the nutes did anything to my starting pH... Well the EC was around .4 so that'll do for seedlings me thinks... If anyone disagrees plz don't be shy in coming forward... I know you's lot won't anyway!! & the pH changed from bang on 7 to 6.5... I wasn't expecting the pH to be perfect with such a weak mix so with a stronger dose I'm pretty confident that it will work with my tap water (.2EC/70ppm).... To tell you truth I wasn't really expecting it to change at all... So I dropped it to 5.8 & left it bubbling all night & the pH was back up to 6.2 this morn.. Hmm.. I feel another learning curve coming on...
Ok they are in their cubes.. In airtight box under one 84x2 pro light at half power...
Checked power consumption all 4 of my 84x2pro 3w lights... they draw 522w altogether & 128w a piece on full power... Just thought I'd throw that out there..
Pics of nutes. & cubes.... Now I know there's a lot.. But I won't be using them all.. Better lookin' @ it as for it.. That's what I say!!
lolz...
Hopefully the little snupps will be up & at em' soon enough...
Oh I forgot to say... I've upgraded my set-up a touch... My air stones are out & those air diffuser's SB uses.. the tube ones from 'Aqua Angel' are in.... Using all 8mm air hose now & I've bought myself a little 35L per min Hailea air compressor & a couple of cheap little Hailea air curtains for bubbling & mixing my tap water & nutes.
Now my buckets can have the full 60L of o2 between them all the time..
