UPDATE
#1,2, & 3 - VEG DAY 4
#7,8, & 9 - SEEDLING DAY 7
O1 - Seedling Day 2
Not much has changed. I decided to NOT water or feed yesterday. I wanted to give them another 12+ hours and just take my time this morning. This will be a long entry with a lot of...blah blah blah...mixed with some pictures here and there...then a little more blah. Thanks for reading!
They all still looked super happy this morning. Other than #1 having slightly droopy leaves. What do you think?
Check out the picture of seedling #8! She's so damn cute and happy! Praying hard!
I wanted to wait until this morning to water and to give 1,2, & 3 their first
@GeoFlora Nutrients 'VEG' top dress. I am using 3 different sized containers (testing as always). I split 1 oz between the three with #1 getting the most, then #2, and finally #3.
For my water, I mixed up some mosquito bits yesterday in a one gallon container. This morning, I strained some of that into a measuring cup where I mixed it with 0.33 mL (1/16 tsp)/cup of
@Terpinator , and 0.5 mL/cup of the
@Sierra Natural Science SNS209. In total, I mixed 1000 mL or just over 4 cups of solution. I did not end up using all of it for the GSC plants.
My goal with the watering was to go slow! With that said, I still went too fast at first. Haaa haaa. The soil was dry enough that along the edges it was pulling away from the containers. The water just went straight down and out the bottom. I stepped back and decided to add 1 Tb (15 mL) around the edges but literally only a few drops at a time allowing it to slowly saturate it. After doing that a few times spread out over 5-10 minutes, then one cycle was complete with one plant. Documented the total for that round and moved on to the next plant. A couple times, I could hear the water bubbling down through the soil.
Here is how much water I gave them all and the interval quantities. Each interval took a few minutes. So by the time I got to each plant, then I would come back and start again. My goal was to take my sweet ass time and not be in such a damn hurry. Document and understand what and why I am doing this!
#1 - 100 mL, 100 mL, & 60 mL (got runoff and stopped)
#2 - 100 mL, 50 mL (too fast and got runoff), & 50 mL and got less runoff than the previous interval - this is a seedling fabric bag. I allowed it to sit directly in my tray as I water so the fabric and soil could absorb some of the excess liquid. In hindsight, I should not have done this because I have no way of knowing how much of that was absorbed.
#3 - 50 mL, 50 mL to slight runoff, 30 mL and slight runoff
#7, 8, & 9 (same sized containers) - 50 mL, 30 mL, 30 mL to slight runoff
After that, they all got tilted to roughly 45° to reduce/eliminate the perched water table. They all got rid of more liquid which means I over watered. Urgh...
It's ok though! I am starting the learning process of being more precise with my watering methods.
O1 - Received 100 mL around the base of the stem and surrounding it for about 3 inches.
Are you still reading?! Ok fine...here are some more pictures for you then.
#1 is working on node 3 with 4 following closely behind
Roots are starting to poke through for #2!
O1 looks like the cotyledons are showing signs of stress or nute burn. Not sure but it seems to be growing slowly at the moment.
I did a little digging and found O2. I don't think there is any hope for this one. I buried it again anyway so we'll see.
Also, fungus life pushing through my mulch layer near O1
Happy Sunday everyone and thank you!
I encouraged their manager to get on it and order some. They were familiar with it and one of the guys has even used it. Then why not carry it?! I'm going to be honest, I love seeing the big ass granules of mycos! Watching it slowly break down and continually inoculate the soil just makes me believe it is working wonders. I have used and still have some other very good mycos products. This one is my favorite to use this far. It seems like I waste so much less!
but glad I made it!
