Alrighty then, I got done transplanting my plants earlier. I used the Coco/Hydroton mix. 2 cups of Coco to 1 cup Hydroton. I put an Airdome in each and cranked them up immediately. I also ran my drip stakes and lines, however I am getting a new pump tomorrow and my timer is garbage now...so I have a new one on the way. I start with 4 waterings for 30 sec each per day. If they do not run off, I add more time...45 sec each. I put 2 drip stakes per pot instead of just one. I will not have to water until tomorrow afternoon and I will just plug the pump in by hand until my timer gets here We'd.
I am super excited to see how things go. I have a feeling that they are going to blow up Quickly. They were in Solo cups, and starting to dry out faster. One thing about MC is you want to avoid letting your plants dry out. I have used many nutes with Coco for many many years. Once in a while even seasoned growers get busy and plants dry out. For some reason MC seems to burn the leaves very easily if your plants dry out even slightly too much. My larger seedling dried out just a little and the bottom leaves got a little Crispy. It will be fine, but for those using MC or reading...dont let your medium dry out with MC. I have nothing bad to say about MC, it is growers error for letting things get dry. That is the Downside of MC, which again...is my own fault. I have been on the same bag forever. Just had to order an new thing of Sweet Candy. But these nutes are cheaper than anything else around. I am thinking about trying to make a diluted Gal of MC, so I don't have to mix powders daily. I am also going to try Gold Label and do a side by side. I am all about trying new things and comparing end product. I will add pics in morning, after I add my pump. Peace
