Well I weighed them dry to start then weighed them again wet, they hold masses of water them big cubes.
Any way I figured out how much water they were holding and spun them out in my salad spinner until they were holding half the water they could (dunno if this is dry enough, it was my guess...
Hi - thanks again guys, can't stress enough how appreciated any help is.
So I can move up to the bigger rockwool cubes now - I have 2 tiny roots poking out of each right now.
Yeh been ph ing the water each time they have been flushed a few times so I would think if I throw my ph meter into...
I've got my other rockwool cubes soaking, I have flushed them 4 times now, the PH keeps rising but I think they are starting to stabalise.
I have to small roots coming out of the bottom of each now but thought I would wait until the weekend until there was a bit more root showing before moving...
Fuck didn't I wirte that a few pages ago and I thought we'd gone past that bit now,that was my last lot of plants that died. that what you quoted there was said ages ago. I was asking if I should take the propagator lid off or not????? :joint: praps
Anyone any idea please - should I think about taking the top of the propagator now or does it need to stay on for a bit more? its day 10 i think.
The lil starter leaves are yellowing and looking like their gonna fall off but this is part of th eprocess, no?
GG
Thanks Lask
The only problem with blowing a fan over them is they are in a propagator with a lid on so the fan wont blow on the plants. Do you suggest that I remove the lid now? is high humidity not such an issue now?
As for nutes this root-regenerator says its supposed to be used from start...
Thanks for the further advice guys, to be honest I'm finding it useful to weigh at the moment and I can see the amount of water needed is going up eack day, I'm at about 9 days now and their taking about 10Ml of water mixed with root-regen each day. They seem to be growing ok, ones a bit on the...
Thanks again
1st off tho how long should i flood for - I have digi timers so i can flood for only 1 min if i want?
I already have a hannah combined ph and ppm tester, being mr science and that :roll: so I'll have my eye on that once I start adding nutes, which I guess will be around the...
Thanks Lask
The roots ain't coing out yet and it'll be prob next weekend until I have the time to move them anyway by which time I guess there'll be plenty of root.
As for weighing well when I transfer up to the damp larger cube (which are soaking now just in case I suddenly need them) I...
Thanks for the help again peeps, its nice to get some back up from others.
I knew you were joking lask bout the time but I have been weighing only cos i screwed up last time by underwatering and evedrybody else has been telling me i been over watering.
Anyhow I've calculated it all abouts now...
Another question too
I have my cubes in a heated propagator with a 125w cfl directly above the cover, the temp in there with the propagator switched on is about 90-95 degrees, with the propagator off its around 78-80, should I leave it on or off? is 90-95 a bit hot?
Thanks
I do appreciate all your advice but how long do you think it takes me to pop a couple of cube on the scales to keep an eye, 30 seconds maybe.
Plenty of time for me to get on with my life, which at the moment if full to the frickin brim
It was the root as I pulled the cube apart and put it in the right way, got it under some light and sure enough as you said there were a couple of small leaves by the end of the day.
Thanks
Thanks for this
I have done this with one, will wait to see what happens with the other less advanced one tomorrow.
Which way should I plant the seeds then I thought it was point down?
Thanks
Im not geting much joy in the indoor forum on this so thought praps i should put my thread here: here it is so far:
Hi
I'll just repeat the quwestion on my thread below because the title of that one doesn't really go along with the question and some of you guys might not read it.
But
I have...
Right, no one replied and I had to make a decision sharp as I gotta get on with the rest of my life so.
I pulled the 1 cube apart and it looks like the root had grown up ou of the plug then back down and was about 1 inch long. I was as gentle as poss and did no visible damage. I poked a hole...
Soz guys, I don't want to be a pain and keep bumping the thread but I am really worried I'm gonna screw up yet another batch of seeds, whats the score with the pic? can roots grow upward, is it a root or just the normal start.
Please :cry:
