Greetings folks, and the illustrious @Seedstockers-Mark. Here's the thread to document my run with the new release, Rucu Cucu OG Auto.
The grow will make use to two 4x4 tents, moving them around as space opens up from other plants in later cycle. One tent is equipped with my 4 year old Amare SE450UVB light, and the other uses the new and very fine @Medic Grow LED Fold-8. Both tents have humidifiers and extraction fans managed by Inkbird controllers.
Grow medium is a mix of Big Rootz soil and coco amended with worm casings, azomite, dolomite, and lobster compost. Nutrient program will be determined by the container I wind up choosing. It will either be AutoPots or RainScience Grow Bags. Basically, when I top feed I use the @Greenleaf program; MegaCrop plus Sweet Candy plus Bud Explosion plus Kelp Extract. If using the AutoPots, when the plants are drinking from the reservoir (bottom feeding) then I use the @Prescription Blend program. Of course, periodically the plants will get a respite from the normal program while getting a good soaking of ReCharge and SLF-100.
We'll start 2 seeds. Here we go. First a bath in RO water.
After 3 days neither seed had cracked open, but both were plenty saturated. So I popped then in a paper tower (sealed and dark). After 2 days both seeds were opening ever so slightly. So then they went into Jiffy's Canadian Sphagnum Peat Starter Pots in a domed humidity tray sitting on a heat mat.
Fingers crossed. I'll report back in once we have signs of life. Many thanks, Mark.
