Your Solo cups look and sound just like my “mini-hempy buckets” I used post-germination using hydroton on the bottom and an inert soilmix of 75/25 coir and Perlite, substituting hydroton when Perlite is gone.
Then I take each plug from my germinator and stick it into these cups and them into one of my controlled tubs:
Add a little water on the soil top…do this until you see roots out the slits in the upper cup…the roots are not as white as I would like… but that is because I have no room to transplant until some go out door… but this should clarify what we are talking about…
Ok @beths you ready LoL… You and I are the only 2 doing growers choice seeds let’s kick some ass girl… Double cup will keep the bottom soil a bit more moist and roots love searching for moisture and source to get water and nutrients… I personally don’t double up but I get it… Have your seeds germinated yet?
Crazy brother… I’m about to transplant the Acapulco Gold this weekend for outside… Perfect conditions now 80-90 but I have a shade if need be I can’t wait bro it’s my first outdoor veg to flower I may need some advice lol!
Ok ok so exciting! NOW HURRY UP AND WAIT! Ha ha sorry once you get rolling it can go fast. I staryed my runtz strain with 9 seeds and now i have so many cloned plants ill never get rid of my runtz…I love them so!
Here is a hash passion bud to tide you over @beths!
