I decided to keep only 4 seedlings for many reasons
I believe there was root rot happening in the germination phase.
Some of the seedling recovered, many didn't.
Also many of the seeds displayed abnormal genetics (Bocanegra)
So far 3 wendys and 1 bocanegra alive.
note to self: root need...
Slow progress, but still progress
kPA is higher than 1,16, I should aim at 0,8
Today I added an old humidifier to the game, let's see how things progress.
A sunny day is always great to buffer some coco!
70 grams calcium nitrate
20 grams epson salt
100 liters washed coco coir
around 100 liters of tap water
12h have passed and so far only 1 Wendy taproot is visible. I transfered it to a humid cotton pad sandwich and put it in a plastic bag.
Plastic bag has a small opening to provide o2 + co2 exchange
It is in the dark
I will repeat this process with all seeds, keeping them in 2 separate plastic...
In 12 small cups with water and 1% H2O2
I will veg them indoors and flower in 50% filtered sun
Strains are 6 Wendy and 6 Bocanegra from Trikoma Seeds, Barcelona. They are backed by Pyramid seeds genetics I think.

I also found soil to have high pH -> 7.6 which also sucks. I am slowly decreasing pH with this method:

So in my head I've got the microorganisms inside bokashi and the food in biochar. Compost could also work.
For aeration I am focusing on rice husks which are said to provide aeration like perlite. The bonsai guy close to me says he has wonderful results with it.
And you are right about the...
I forgot to mention I water my seedlings with a product called Aminopeixe raízes (literally Aminofish roots)
1% N, 1%P, 1%K, 1%Ca, 1% aminoacids, 8% Organic Carbon
Also, please mix all ingredients thoroughly
This is my first attempt to build my own supersoil recipe based on the ferts and minerals I have close to me (BRAZIL). Please share your thoughts as I explain my decisions:
50 Liters of Paulistinha supersoil

A good soild needs to have aeration and moisture...
I do diamond, pike and archer pushups - with less repetitions since they're harder.
regular pushups I can hit 35
