Winter Indoor fun

Starting a new grow and using an ac infinity humidity dome to begin seedlings. I know its a little unconventional, so I want to see if it makes a difference. Ive done a few outdoor/ sun grows about 8-10 years ago. Consistently holding about 75% humidity and 70F. Its cold as balls in my area, so Im happy with this.

These are all bag seed, so males will get isolated once identified.

Germ Method:
I germed using paper towel & shot glass method. All sprouts so far were from paper towel. Mystery seed was in the dirt already. lol

Soil Mix:
Recycled FFOF, 1/4 new FFOF, 5 quarts perlite, Epsom land and sea compost, rural king potting soil.

Children:
2x Gorilla Glue
2x Sour Gushers
2x GG x Cookies
1x mystery seed (Im guessing Sour Gushers)

Update:
5 Sprouts at this time. Roots are developing. Not much leaf growth yet. 2 are ready to get in the veg chamber.

I transplanted the mystery plant so it is now in its own cup. Watered down with a sh* load of Mycos and it seems to have taken. No purple or wilting.

2 Sprouts on Wednesday 12/21
3 Sprouts on Thurs 12/22.

Going to brew tea over xmas and prep my transplant containers so the fungi can begin activating the soil.

Tea recipe:
Epsom land and sea compost 2 cup
1/2 cup FFOF
2 tbsp molasses
Some mycos
2% Milk
~ 24 hr brew time period. 6.6-6.8 Ph

TEA NOTES:
In the future, not using milk. Makes everything smell like caca once bacteria moves in.

Tea brewed for 24 and was good. Plants are doing well. at 36 hours all bubbles were gone.

Has anyone added coke to their tea as a Ph down?

Plants:
I threw a Green Crack Feminized down. I dont like how 3 of these plants look and 1 was a dud.

My 2 main guys are going great and getting bigger. Its day 8 and they've seen tea once at day 5. I top dressed with FFOF.

Brewing another batch of tea but keeping it very simple. Molasses, L&S compost. Looking for an organic Ph down to use? Milk sucked. Coke has a lot of salts and isnt organic.

Tent comes in tomorrow and these dudes are ready to get under the nice PAR light. All the leaves have a slight light green color. Theyre ready for a healthy drenching of tea.

Will post pics later.

Add some dolomite lime to your mix before you transplant next time. Then you won't have to worry about ph

What does dolomite lime do and what is its effect on ppm/ec ?

The dolomite balances your ph automatically, also adds calcium

Any ideas? My tent came in late so they were in dome a little longer than expected. I am under the impression of fungus gnats, light burn, and a little overwatering due to humidity in the dome. Letting them dry out before my next move.

Looks like heat and humidity stress from the dome. Leave it off and let them aclimate. Cut some slits at the bottom of the cup so water isn't pooling and keeping your soil saturated.

Let them dry out and shoot some roots. When the new healthy growth starts, repot and bury those stems. They will grow anchor roots

Yep just did something similar 2 days ago and lifted them so the bottom breaths a little more. It looks better than it did. Little things

I see your drain holes up on the side, I'm assuming you got some underneath? Or was that an old photo and you made other drains since?

The pics are from today.

Yes theres some slits underneath now that drain. I had them on the bottom, but not the lowest part of the cup so it some standing water. I just cut them in yesterday or day before

That should be the ticket Padre

Thanks. Such a challenge to be patient. Want to see an hourly change but they just dont have it yet

Most of the recovery will be under the soil as it dries out. Soon as you see roots poke through those holes you cut, they will take off.

Switched into these Bonnie cups as they drain better and I didnt want to damage roots by messing with previous cups. Will Make better drain / air flow in future.

Did Distilled Water and about 10% peroxide for last 6 days, Giving a few sprays every 2 days or so. No foliar as peroxide does bad things to leafs. GC is growing well. Mystery #1 is happy. Mystery #2 is starting to get a calmag or nitrogen issue. Its roots arent near as developed as the other ladies as theyre getting close to transplant.

Mixing some voodoo, Microbe munch, and Molasses together to give in a few days. New nutes getting delivered today!

I forgot I owned the Arabica plant in the back. Banana is coming back to life as well.

Looking better! Get something around those cups to block the light. They'll be throwing new shoots in no time now

Your plants are eating their leaves to grow roots. As soon as the roots get established she'll green back up. Just go light on the feed until those roots get established. Tea sounds like a good start

Yep! Not using my Alaska Fish poopoo until they get into the new Pots. Im thinking next weekend if I dont force it this weekend.

Happy Tuesday RIU fam. Transplanted yesterday as Roots looked where I wanted. They seem Good so far. I noticed some small rust spots before transplant. Im under the impression my dirt was about dead.

The plants absolutely loved Liquid Seaweed, CalMag, Voodoo, and Microbe munch in Ph'd water. I brewed in a gallon jug with air stones. I think my air pump is a whisper 50 gal. Going to use Distilled and tap water for next few weeks until I see something go haywire. This soil mix is pretty loaded.

Left is Green Crack from Crop King Seeds. Middle I couldnt tell you what it is, educated guess its Sour Gushers. Right is Animal Tree from picture attached.
