Ok so maybe I’m going at this in all the wrong measures. Regardless of my tools and nutrients. So what I need to figure out is a new meathod Of propagation before transplant.
How long in the medium before they go into the current culture which seems to be even more of a shocking environment? I assumed to train the seeds in a familiar invironment like the turbo cloner and then off to the UC site. I’m trying to stay true to hydroponics.
You think they are under watered? I was assuming I over watered. I ran the cloner 24/7 continuesly. Only thing I can imagine is I didn’t feed any nutrients with PHed water. Also I had the light higher and they stretched to the point they all wanted to fall over. I am running 20-4 schedule...
T5 - 24” light low watt hung 18” above
Room temp average 75F
Water temp 72F
5.8-6.0 PH
tap water with initial ppm 140 (500 scale)
With solution 260 (500 scale)
Current culture solutions ran (half srecomended strength)
2 Gallon in EZ Cloner
.25 Ml - UC Roots
2ML - Veg A
2ML - Veb B
2 teaspoon...
I started doing some research on this earlier today. I noticed some people have a break down of whats in their water. Could I gather this from my local water company or is there a way I can test specifically?
yeah I did. It was pretty easy to calibrate. I need to buy their kit to clean and calibrate it every month however. I was thinking just letting the water sit with an air stone in it for 24 hours might be enough. Just add nutrients and then PH down...
Just got my blue Lab meter in yesterday and tested my water PH and PPM. I'm currious if I need to use RO for my current culture setup if my PPM is reading 120 (500 scale) at a PH - 7.
