Beths First Grow Journal

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:

Never thought of starting the seed there…

Double cup and water the bottom cup…

I will do that immediately when I plant. Do I mist to keep soil wet or is the bottom cup enough and for how long?

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?

All comfy in their paper towels. Will be checking them every couple hours to make sure they stay moist.

Do I pre-water my solo cups in advance? Like should I do it now even though I probably won’t plant until tomorrow?
