WEEK 1 UPDATE UPDATE
@Bailey - Seedstockers Battle
@archie gemmill - General Battle
I have already done the week 1 update, but I think I need a second update due to my late germination of a second seed.
The second (backup) seed I germinated popped her head above ground yesterday and has now been potted into her own RDWC system - butchered together from the remnants of my Aeros IV Master system.
Because the first seed has still not got her roots out of the net pot, I decided to modify another netpot for this one.
I cut a section out of the base, and then used hot-melt glue to stick some hydroton pebbles together in a nice tube for about 2".
The Root!t sponge was then set on top of this 'tube' so that the taproot gets an unencumbered route to the water.
Her tap root is already longer than her stalk - and that is just the part that is protruding from the sponge
This lady shall be called
Shamash
Her nutrients are as follows:
Megacrop: 5.28g
Cal Mag Pro: 1.43g
Sweet Candy: 2.86g
pH: 5.9
ppm: 490
Here are a few pics, including 2 'upskirts'
The tap root is literally 2-3mm away from the water, but will be getting splashed from the airstone bubbles popping just under her.
I also added some Great white to a small tub of the res water and poured it into the Root!t sponge - should give her a nice start.
I get the feeling this one will rapidly catch up to her 'Twin'
