Ohh and i seen a bunch of people who literally put there seeds n a cup until the taproot is all the way out. Is it a better chance of germination to do the only cup trick or cup then papertowel, can anyone explain to me why one method is better than the other?

I just drop in a cup of water but any way works the same IMO.
Just keep that paper towel semi warm. They can get super cold in the paper towel and slow down germination. But if it’s a good seed it will pop

Hey joey, u think ill b ok w the last readingd i got this morning for my nutemix? Ppm740 n ph6.6 for seedlings?
Click to expand...
I would definitely want to get that ph down to at least 6.0. Preferably 5.8 in Coco.
Ph down is cheap. Use as little as possible adding 1ml at a time till you get it down. I believe Wisher suggested the same thing

I personally don’t like ph up or down but definitely it’s more important to get it down. Then try to adjust your mix if possible so it’s closer without up or down

What’s your mix right now again? Are you using silica?

was lookin at that
Then I found this

Ya it’s actually a funny story with that
A couple months back I️ was looking at that spartan timer, but the off time was only 60 min so I️ passed and got a digi timer. It was crap.
Then l searched a lot for a short cycle timer that could run for 30 sec every 2 hours. Hard to find. They all 1 min on times.
Then l found this Apollo and thought it was the one. Didn’t realize at first it was the same exact day the spartan but more expensive. Hahaha. That’s when l decided to just go hourly and keep the timer
Best decision I’ve made. Haha. But when l need another I’m def going with that spartan. Same thing

I have the ph up and down already on hand. My mix was 13/14ml of grow. I have the cns17 grow, ripe, bbloom , silicia blast along w the ph up n down. Wasnt tge silicia blast for if i needed to get my ph up. I will start adding ph down now

Yes...
When you add ph down you stir really well.
Let it set a good 5 mins. Then if still need adjustment a few drops at a time. Stir..

Yes l was gonna day to lower your silica to get the ph down but if you didn’t use any than use the ph down

Ya start over. It’s all good you’ll see that stuff is touchy. That’s why you do really small drops. Wait 5 min. Check. Repeat if necessary

Alrighty, thanks events n joey. Im gonna work at this new batch. Lol soo basically my goal rn is to hit 700ppm and 5.8ph and this mix is for what the first week or soo?
Click to expand...
Until your plant shows it wants more or less. Maybe never. Lol. 700 ppm or 1.4 ec is a good safe number. No need to add or drop unless the plant asks for t IMO. Better to stay consistent more than anything imo.
 
#12,538
Awesomesauce. Soo i nailed the 700pm mark. I got my ph down to 6.2 with a couple drops of ph down. Ill check again n 5min and if its still at 6.2 ill add 2 more drops and that should get us to 5.8ish its messing w the ppms some everytime i add any ph down

Hi every1. hps soil vet here.
Just making the switch to cob and im thinking uc.

No hydro experience.... well not in the last 20years. im a fast Lerner and always well inform myself before venturing into projects like this.
so ill be pickin ur brains the next few months :badboy:
great to have such an abundance of knowlege here, crowdsourcin info is awsome...

Im just doin a total rebuild on my space and my cobs are 5-10 days away. @sixstring thanks for ur help
Im just reading up on what system to go with.

I enjoy hangin with my ladies wen i have time, its more of a hobbie than just pumpin out max product with the least amount of work.

was thinkin floodndrain but the more i read about UC the more it tickles my fancy.

@EventHorizan why you not digging your UC system?
Be one with the force, feel the flow and th UC will guide you to great places :cool:
Click to expand...
The UC is fine and I like it very much. But the room is only got 6 foot ceilings..
The UC is made to grow big plants, 6 footers. A person would want 8 to 12 foot ceilings to really get the benefit of the UC. I might need to move the UC to my garage in my big tent, and just let it grow straight up, with some topping.

Soo there was only 4 pages to catch up on this morning from last night. Been busy reading this morning. Haha anyways this is the seeds i got

Ok awesome.. Was you not able to order from the Farm?
Itzdwoodduhh said:
Thanks joey and wisher for the adviice as well and dewd n incog and everyone for saying whats up. Soo i checked the ph and ppm this morning of the gal batch we made up last night event. I may need to tinker w it a lil ph hit 6.6 n ppm 740. Guys dont laugh at my bucket ok. Haha
Click to expand...
Im not for sure why your ph would change just sitting in a bucket. Is the temp in the room changing a lot?
Itzdwoodduhh said:
Here yah go events. What you asked for. May be another day before we move the seeds to soil. They didnt grow much last night. Heck one of the papertowels was almost completely dry somehow.
Click to expand...
Do not let the paper towel dry out.. If your using heat in the house it will dry out quicker. Dont germ the seeds in a paper towel, in direct light. If doing it in the tent, I would shut off lights. Personally I sit mine on top of the microwave, and put another saucer over top.

put it in a cup untill you see the tap root coming out, then transfer to paper towel. Keep very moist.

Silica blast is for the plant cells. It strengthens them and helps against rot, and disease, bugs, and mold, by strengthening the cell membrane interior walls. How ever it does raise ph, so we can get 2 uses out of it.. Whats hurting us, is the strating ph of your tap.. But we will make it all right...

Ive had to restart too.. All part of learning.. I once added 60 ml of ph down instead of flora bloom.. Sucked.. Had to start over and drive back to krogers and get 10 more gal of ro at like 11 pm..
