What are you using for your swick n what’s inside the jar? H2O or nutes? CL
The swicks are synthetic wool from my wifes used wool basket.
The jars are RO water.
So far I have spoon fed 1 tablespoon of fish fertilizer water to each seedling twice.
I topwater in 2 or 3 more tablespoons of water afterwards and mix the fish ferts at 1.25ml per litre of RO water.
I put the jars on heat mats until day 3 above ground is over.
The soil is my main potting mix.
I grind spagnum to dust, soak it overnight in water, then put an inch around blob on top of the pot about an 1/8" thick and plant my seeds crown up about 3/4 deep in the spagnum.
Then I cover them in as little spagnum as possible and wait for germination.
I don't presoak my seeds. Law of the Jungle. Pop quick or the fungii gets you.
The spagnum is naturally sterile so when the seed cracks it pushes its embriotic microbes into the sterile spagnum and innoculates it without competition.
Mothers Milk is created.
The seed finds its own links to the actual soil.
You need to drip 2 or 3 drips of water onto them about 4 times a day for 2-4 days til they pop, but I get stronger sprouts this way than when I presoak and plant conventionally.
I read about it, tried it, its a pain in the butt, but I always do it now.
Its my first investment in a 5-6 month journey.
Sometimes the tap root will push the seed up instead of burrowing so I just help it get into the soil and away it goes.
