Seed Stockers Seedstockers Wedding Glue - Solo Cup of Age and Treachery.......

[DCLXVI]

Day 1 : First day above ground. Had a sprout by 8pm when I checked. Right into a solo of coco! I think this is the fastest germination I've seen yet.

Timeline so far:
Noon Sunday 11/21 - Seed into shotglass
8am Monday 11/22 - Tail on seed, into jiffy pellet
8pm Tuesday 11/23 - Sprouted and into coco solo

I have a standard round solo (grow vessel) inside a square side solo to help hold it and give me a cup I can attach and tape to if needed for stability. Both cups are sitting inside the trimmed end of a plastic juice bottle. I can collect, see, and test runoff pretty easy, I hope. It's a learn as I go operation.

Running Cyco Coco Pearl: 70/30 coco/perlite mix and it says pH buffered, stabilized but not to what number.

Presoak: I mixed 1L of distilled water and added 250ppm of cal-mag and 50ppm of DynaGro FoliagePro, ph to 6.0, split & run through in 3 batches. I collected the runoff and tested ph/ppm until I was getting a steady 5.8-6.0pH and close to 300ppm. There was quite a bit of "dust" rinsed out in the first couple flushes and the pH came down from 6.7 to 5.9-ish by the end. It was almost equal in - out volumes by the end.

Dug a small hole and inserted the jiffy pellet with my seedling. I also finally found a place I can use those nice stickers!

Day 4 : Just plugging along. Added nothing so far, just crack the "dome" every now and then. Keeping it warm and humid.

Day 9: Looking a little behind but that's ok. Might just be growing roots at the moment!

Day 14: End of week 2 and a nice bit of growth compared to just a few days ago. I've been keeping track of how much I've been watering in, strength, and pH. Then weighing the runoff and checking the ppm/pH as well. Having the cup sit in an old juice bottle makes a nice stand and easy collection. I am using distilled water for the entire grow. Also alternating a bit of calmag, just 50ppm here and there as the Ca and Mg in the nute line I use is pretty low until you get higher doseage and it is split across 2 different products.

Since day 9 until now;

D10: Nothing

D11: 200ml +80ppm calmag, +20ppm silica, +190ppm FoliagePro
Final numbers 298ppm @ 5.9pH
200ml added -155ml runoff @ 260ppm/6.3pH

D12: Nothing

D13: 245ml +60ppm silica, +70ppm MagPro, +220FoliagePro
Final numbers 366ppm @ 6.2pH
245ml added - 175ml runoff @280ppm/6.2pH

D14: Coco finally starting to feel dry/light. Moving to once a day watering.
200ml +50ppm calmag, +40ppm silica, +60ppm MagPro, +200ppm FoliagePro
Final numbers 353ppm @ 6.0pH
200ml added - 148ml runoff @315ppm/6.1pH

Day 17: Growing fast but developing an issue... hope to sort it out quick. Dark spots developing on two leaves.....

Day 20: Topped! Snipped off node 5 and 6. Really growing quick. The discolored leaves from 3 days ago did develop brown rust spots. I hit the next watering with an additional 75ppm of CalMag and the issue did not show up on any other leaves. Just fertigated the last 3 days and will add another calmag boost with tomorrows feed.

Tonight watered in 200ml @ 400ppm and 6.0pH ended up with 60ml of runoff measured 175ppm and 5.9pH
