Re: "In the Lab" with Doc Bud
Doc
I know you intended this to be an instructional journal, so I'll start with a procedure question.
I see back in post 12 where you discuss watering seedlings after transplant, then letting them get to the point of looking like they need water before watering again to build roots.
Any advice on watering when sowing direct in your soil? I don't want seedlings to look like they are starting to wilt before I water do I?
I started 2 seeds direct in your kit soil, and planted 2 3 day old sprouts. in 1/2 gl pots.
Sprinkled the root zone, and watered with the transplant mix.
The 2 started direct in your soil up in 3 days look so healthy for sprouts (6 days old now). They are like a glowing green.
The 1 transplanted sprout is doing fantastic too (12 days old). And 1 was real weak even before the transplant so I took her out and sowed another direct in her spot. I anticipate her arrival tomorrow.
