Hey all,
I just bought the go box a couple days ago, and started using it a few days ago. After reading this thread (and about 30 others about the go box), I started using them yesterday. I've got a plant from bag seed that's about 7-8" tall, and three seedlings (1 Double Bubble Kush; 2 NYC Diesel). Yesterday it was time to water the seedlings, and after reading stuff about the root enhancer and diamond black (coupled with the feeding schedule on the box starting at week 1), I decided to give it a go.
I did 1/4 strength of the first week's run per the directions, and the seedlings seemed to love it! The DBK seedlings I'd spouted previously had been really fickle, but there have been only positive effects on this one. Yesterday it was 11 days from planting the ungerminated seed and 8 days from the seedling breaking the surface. It's second set of true leaves has gone from being a small nodule to looking like an actual leaf, and the existing leaves are firm, long and nicely green. As for the NYCD, they're looking really happy too. The bigger of the two has started showing a second set of true leaves, and the smaller one has growing pleasantly. Yesterday, they were 8 days from starting germination and 3 days from breaking the surface. No nute burn whatsoever.
Today, I did 1/2 strength of the week 3 run per the directions on the bag seed plant, but it's too soon to see results yet.
Btw, I ph tested the solution, and it came up at around 5.5 or so (I don't have the fancy equipment yet), but taking others' advice, I didn't mess with it. I've monitored the soil ph in all since adding the GO stuff, and it hasn't been effected. I'm growing in happy frog, cut with perlite, dolomite and plain seed starter soil for the seedlings (and the DBK seedling still popped out a bit burned), and happy frog with a bit of dolomite and perlite for the plant.
