Transplant day!
On the 18th I took 2 cuttings from each of the 4 plants that are 3 weeks old or so(wonderseed).
"Rockwool Presoak" Is the BOMB!
I use "Rockwool Presoak" from
Supernatural Terraponic 1/4tsp : 1 Qt water, soaked the blocks for
Twenty minutes ONLY! If you don't like wasting alot of time with presoaking rockwool, this is the stuff for you!
The photo shows that this material is wonderous! usually you have to presoak for up to 24 hours, but not with this soak applied. As you can see they are in GREAT shape 3 days later!
Next photo is of the root ball after softly combing thru to loosen the roots without breaking them. Do it gently and none will get broken off.
Next two photos show the kids after transplanting. The transplanting actually started 3 days ago, but I ran out of MiracleGrow soil. Had to wait for the arrival of my Ocean Forest mix to arrive. Ratio is 3.5:1 part Perlite with a TBSP worm castings per part perlite.(I have a gallon might as well use them.)
The plant on the right in the tan container was Drooping Bigtime before transplanting due to it's pot starting to get root-bound. As you can see, three days and they are Back on the way to making me proud. Leaves are starting to reach for the light again.
The two in tan got MG while the two in green got FFOF. Be interesting to see what differences they will encounter/produce.
