Personally what I do is only add my nutes after I transplant to my final pot. My final pots are usually 3 gallon or 5 gallon fabric pots.Also the other look like this, should I start nutes? Appreciate any advice.
I agree with the video on some points but, and this is a big but. When watering with a fertilizer with an N.P.K of 12-6-6 - 1/2 strength is going to give you a (N) ppm of around 200 ppm. A fertilizer like 5-15-5 - 1/2 strength will give you about (83) ppm Nitrogen.You will find that the little bag around your seed starter block is a problem . Although roots are supposed to grow threw them and they are supposed to be bio degradable. I have seen these bags in my garden 2 or 3 years after using them. And rots just do not grow threw them as readily as you are led to believe. It's a very good idea to carefully cut and remove the bag when planting seedling.
I do not believe that it is a good idea to have your seedlings sitting in the bottom of cups like this.
Maybe consider putting the cube on the table with the cup upside down over it as a little greenhouse. Check moisture daily.
Keep this in mind. The tap root of your seedling will grow out the bottom of those starter blocks in 2 or 3 days.
You need to have these seedlings planted into deep pots asap so the tap root can boar straight down without interference of any kind.
Think of it like this.
If the tap root goes to the bottom of a 4" deep cup then goes around and around. It does not matter after that how big the pot is.
You end up with a shallow root ball in the top 5" of the pot.
Now take that same seedling and let the tap root grow straight down to the bottom of a 12" deep pot. Then spread out and fill the pot.
Your plant will have a much larger root zone capable of collecting nutrients at a bout 5x the amount of the shallow ball.
Witch seedling do you think will grow into a happy thriving plant?
Bio grow, bloom, top max, algamic, silica, and calmag if needed.What nute line fo you plan on running?
Mine are going into 5 gal fabrics next, planned to do that when they are around 5/10 inches tall.Personally what I do is only add my nutes after I transplant to my final pot. My final pots are usually 3 gallon or 5 gallon fabric pots.
I know but this is sour diesel and I was really looking forward to growing my own sour, the others are really good aswell but I’m hoping the sour can pull through, if not it will have to go.When six are healthy and one is not, the one gets thrown off the cliff. This is Sparta.
Hate to burst your bubble but the real sour D is clone only. The odds you pop a seed and get the true pheno are near zero unless you have a giant field.

I run biobizz also. which soil are you going to be using?Bio grow, bloom, top max, algamic, silica, and calmag if needed.
it's not required but can speed things up to have an in between size or sizes, some people go solo, 1gal, 3gal, 5gal. Others go solo, 3gal, 5gal or some other variation of itMine are going into 5 gal fabrics next, planned to do that when they are around 5/10 inches tall.
I would recommend you remove the film. I did that with a leftover jiffy after a seedling died on me and had much better results.Thanks, I have them covered with film, should I remove them? I’ll get rapid rooters for the next one.
