New plan.
I'm planting my next round of germed seeds today. Got 100% germ using paper towel method. 1 seed is obviously a spunky little lady and put out a tap almost an inch long in 24 hrs.
I decided to wait on the Coco only grow until I get the indoor rig up an running. I bit off more than I can chew with the Coco. Here's what I'm going with.
Decided to use that black magic potting soil. I mixed it 50/50 with Coco and probably 30% perlite to cool it off. The mix is homogenous.
I filled and watered my 3 gal fabric pots. Water I used to soak the pots was RO with 1/4 strength cloneX and 1/2 strength CalMag recommended for RO fortify. pHd to 6.1 @ 270ppm.
I slurried the soil mix before the pre soak. pH 6.5 @ 250ppm.
Here's the question. I soaked the pots with about a gallon of the mixed water each...I hand mixed in the pot to make sure there were no dry pockets. I've left the pots outside for a 24hrs to dry up a bit...
Should I water the entire pot again before planting the seed or just water the small area where the seed is being dropped? Moisture probe reads nice and moist at bottom of the pot, but most of the info I've read says to water just a bit where the seed goes in. Like how much water are we talking about and should I pH, cal mag and cloneX that small amount?I'm guessing the idea is to create a moist highway to the bottom of the pot
I'm worried about the root not diving since that's what killed my last attempt.
