Awesome thanks! I figured I’d do that when transplanting but wondering if I should add more before that...do you just do it right before you water?can always add dirt to the cup for support, and also plant it deeper when you transplant to a new pot to help keep as much verticle room to work with as possible. Looking good man!
Yep!Awesome thanks! I figured I’d do that when transplanting but wondering if I should add more before that...do you just do it right before you water?
Cool, thanks!!Yep!
I thought you were supposed to keep coco saturated and feed every time?Didnt seem to need water today so just sprayed some feed water on top coco.
It seems to be holding on to water very well. I do feed every time because the Mantis nutrient needs to be there for the PH to be correct, but the CEO of Mantis said not to let the coco get overly wet, so im just keeping it moist. Seems when I gave a full watering was when they slowed way down.I thought you were supposed to keep coco saturated and feed every time?
Yes coco needs to be saturated but I think theres a difference between saturated and soaking wet. Especially at these first stages of growth the seedlings will drown if the substrate is soaking wet. When I grow in coco usually for the first couple weeks I only need to water 2 or 3 times.It seems to be holding on to water very well.

Thats good to know...today the top of 2 plants was drying to light brown. It didn’t seem that it was dry underneath though so I just wet them up with the spray bottle and called it good, probably give a little more before lights out tonight. I gave the runt a full watering but not to runoff, felt like it was right before runoff. It’s my guinea pig so I want to see if it reacts to more water than the others...but it’s the runt so hard to judge lol.Yes coco needs to be saturated but I think theres a difference between saturated and soaking wet.

Yeah, I’m wondering if I should’ve added perlite instead of those huge clay balls lol. Because only the very top layer gets dried out like a light brown color, but the rest stays moist so I just spray the top when it starts to turn light brown. Well, this time I dribbled instead of sprayed lol.They look great to me. I think you were right not to do another full watering as that substrate still looks fairly watered.
I mean when you go to repot into bigger pots you could always switch to perlite then if thats what you're thinking?Yeah, I’m wondering if I should’ve added perlite instead of those huge clay balls lol.

I could...but I think I’ll stick it out with the clay, maybe it drains better with bigger pots and root masses. I’m getting to know the characteristics of how it behaves a little so won’t switch it up until next grow...unless it works out really well. I’d like to try organic at some point too so who knows. Growing is pretty fun. I dig it. Can’t wait until flower and when they start to stink aaaah!!!! Oh cant wait!I mean when you go to repot into bigger pots you could always switch to perlite then if thats what you're thinking?
