I suspect the carbon in the filter will act like biochar. Biochar is charcoal from fire that you charge with nutrients. If its not charged it will rob nutrients.
That carbon will rob nutrients until it is loaded. It would then release it over time.
That's just my suspicion. It might not act like biochar.
I have thrown some old carbon from filters in my compost pile.
Hm, interesting.
Well, it will be grown side by side with the other seed in the other pot, and i doubt itll affect the seedling but probably more-so the adult-stage, so when the roots grab hold of the soil a little bit, ill lift it, get the carbon filter outta there, and replant it. I'll definitely be able to see any change with the nutes in the soil from the side-by-side comparison of being grown with the other pot.
And i do have extra fertilizer and plant food at the ready.
