It's exactly how I do it ... but I don't feed a plant that young ever, not when using a mycos based product. Mine waltz right through and don't get fed until several weeks into veg. The only difference is my starting container is usually solo cup though which is likely slightly larger than the pot he's using.
If you use straight ro add calmag.
This is my experience ... no need to feed, yet.
Solid advice ... even with non-RO water, cal/mag deficiencies will pop up. You'll see this a lot more with LED lighting than what we saw using HID.
That's what I was hoping. I have a 7 gallon fabric pot and enough ocean forest with some black&gold soil just in case. I just feel her growth has slowed a bit. And of course I must've dropped a seed somehow and noticed a sprout the other morning. Looks like a diff strain leaves are more rounded on the edges and tip.
Yeah I didn't have a solo its what I had laying around. I'll probably transplant in the next few days if she's not growing like I think she should.
she needs to build a root structure to build up top.. patience!! don’t try to push them to grow..
transplanting is not the answer., patience
To me, things look as they should so far. What you're seeing as "slow growth" is probably not slow at all. At this stage your plant is putting it's energy into building it's root structure.
I try to take that approach, I do basic outdoor vegetable growing. So completely understand the plant will tell you if somethings up. I also do aquarium design with live plants and that is a balancing act with ferts and other things, but worth it
Low airflow? I got it at around low/Med. The plant isn't getting thrashed. I'm just concerned about cycling fresh air.
hydro might be for you, you seem to have a head start with aqua growing?
ya should be good, i meant having some sort of air movement in the area.. a small fan, not directly blowing on her..
