Agreed. Since seeing how compacted the roots were in the red Solo cups (pics past) I'll up-pot to 5 gal. before flip.
I'll post more pics as days go but we'll evaluate again around 3/28 for a 4/1 flip. I've still got the mesh net to deploy and think Gorilla taping the corners to the poles should work.
It probably varies from one plant to another, but I think the usual recommendation is 1 week between transplanting and changing the light schedule.
You can order Banish for powdery mildew. Mix 1/4 tsp to 16 ounces in a spray bottle and spray once a week til its gone. If you want a hassle free grow, may I suggest fox farms ocean forest with the ff nutrient pack. It takes the guesswork out of things to have good soil. Just a thought. Cheers
Load 3 oz
Interesting idea with the perlite, 3" seems a bit overkill though. You're losing out on valuable space for nutrient-rich soil.
No doubt about the stems. The last time I was at the Hydro store I asked about AN Nirvana but the smallest container they had was one gallon so passed up. I wanted the 250ml but would go as high as 500ml. Nirvana is supposed to be a concentrated liquid organic.
I've been using this.
I used AN in the past and think Nirvana actually worked. In soil we'll see a difference on these plants within a week from first dosage in the upcoming comparison.
My advice would be to keep things as simple and straight forward as possible until you get atlesst one or two successful grows. Don’t throw too much stuff at it. For example, I wouldn’t try theoretical stuff like a 24 hour dark period before 12/12. Just switch to 12/12. Up to you, but too much messing around usually doesn’t help. Let them do their thing.
never heard of putting seeds in the ice box for germination ? help me understand
No in, on.
