Im never set on one media. I thought i would play with some promix as well. Im kinda crazy so i strapped this to my bike and it was like a back rest. Easy trip home on the freeway.

I am going to use the promix on my grape ape and use the happy frog on my autos for this first run. We will see how it goes.
How do you get the HP soil ready if it is not precharged?

@beths. Basically itās just wet it when you plant and water only till the cotyledons start to yellow.
Bout a couple weeks or so. After that you can start adding a light mix of your nutes.
A bit of michorrizae sprinkled in to the hole when transplanting ,even tho there is some already in the mix , will help root development too.

The big bud is an advanced nutrient product by the look of the list itās in.big bud is a great strain to breed with for sure, great to bring yeilds up. Many strains have done just that to increase yeilds:) been so many yrs since Iāve seen a straight big bud strain now

So for the new seeds, once they pop and I plant, I dome them with some holes on top and how much do I water at first?
Do I plant the tap root in wet or dry soil?

For me : at first I check them twice daily. I use a spray bottle to keep the soil moist, not wetā¦ and I spray the domeās interior. And, I plant in dry soil and spray some water as soon as Iām finished planting them!

And for how long do you do that? Until you introduce nutes? From what I have read (which is a shit ton) looks to be around 2 weeks or so? And how much do you water with the nutes? Just until the pot leaks? Every other day plain water and every other day with nutes? Last question for now, when do you introduce specialty nutes aside from the base nutes (I.e. big bud and bud candy etc.)

I keep the soil moist for roughly the first two weeks, the older they get, I check more oftenā¦ I donāt introduce nutrients until I first transplant.
For the nutrients schedule, Advanced Nutrients has a great ressource for thatā¦ sorry, Iām kind of busy for nowā¦ but Iāll come back later!

Each of your soils are different but like @oldguy said the cotyladons will have enough energy to get to the 2nd or 3rd set of true leaves from what Iāve seen without food when you do actually start feedingā¦ Only thing I use in early seedlings stage is root booster but has the root system grows the more food you can give themā¦ Donāt kill the babies with to much food in the beginningā¦ As far as watering be very frugalā¦ little bit at a time but you also need to keep in mind that tap root BELOW the soil needs to be moist as well not just the top of soilā¦ A couple shots in a solo cup should be ok thatās how I do it at least

If you have room, it would be better to keep your nutrients in a cupboard or in a darker placeā¦ āāfrom the manufacturerāā. They say to keep them in a cool dark placeā¦
But, nice preparation! You are way more ready than I ever have been
You will work wonders Iām sure
