It's been about 3 days since the last update. It should be of note that upon switching to the
botanicare coco I decided to switch to
Veg+Bloom RO/Soft formula instead of the gh 6/9 formula.
The Pure Afghan and Deadhead OG are doing really well now! I wasn't sure how well they would come back as they are young and vulnerable. I didn't precharge the
botanicare brick coco with anything. I hydrated it and did a mini rinse with tap water(.6EC or 300ppm) with no ph adjustment(who cares you're just going to flush it out anyway). After transplant I gave them a 1.3EC(650ppm) solution of
Veg+Bloom at 5.9 pH in hopes the coco would get precharged and there would be enough food left for the younglings.
It worked :) Every plant is showing new normal growth and they are starting to gain momentum.
I even gave that 1.3EC solution to one of the heavily affected Pure Afghan seedlings that suffered terribly. I don't expect anything from it but this is cool to see. New growth!
The Deep Purple is doing well. Just getting R/O for now. No ph adjustment.
Interestingly enough one bean out of 5 didn't crack but the last bean to pop ended up sprouting like this. The cotyledon leaves are twisted shut and folded over blocking the the true leaves that are growing. I wonder if they'll force their way out. Haven't seen this before. Pretty cool.
