Bugs and mold.What would that matter if there is a water catchment tray underneath? Or is there some other reason for asking that? Mine are on carpet.

Aeration causes rapid growth even rootsIs the run off only to stop salt build up or is there other reasons? I had planned to do one feeding as a flush with water once a week/10 days I think to get rid of salt build up.
I have. Unfortunately it usually leads to failureAeration causes rapid growth even roots
I’ve never heard of trying to grow in coco the way you are trying to do it
So a pk boost during early veg for roots to grow? For how long do you use pk and what doseage? Thanks.View attachment 5219180
I spike that bloom like a mothertrucker
So you fully water pots until runoff with clones and a small root system put into new pots and the roots still develop?If you're in coco the reason you're having root issues is you're not keeping it wet enough. I began growing rails and moved to coco so I could move plants, rails are restrictive. When I moved my clones out of my Aerokloner to coco I water them just like the rest of my coco. If you let coco dry out you increase your salt retention and burn your plants.
Coco = hydro, thank god because I can't grow shit in soil.
Well what i do may not be advisable in the public space. Curious2garden may be able to set you up with exact numbers, im throwing her under the bus on this one and obviously more knowledgeable than i on this.So a pk boost during early veg for roots to grow?

Rails are slang for NFT, nutrient film technique.So you fully water pots until runoff with clones and a small root system put into new pots and the roots still develop?
What's a rail?
I too know when I'm beat.Well what i do may not be advisable in the public space. Curious2garden may be able to set you up with exact numbers, im throwing her under the bus on this one and obviously more knowledgeable than i on this.
Yup I sure do it this way and have roots taking over all the coco within a week or 2 at most. Coco is meant to be kept wet so water the whole pot till runoff. Better yet do a couple one way and a couple the way your doing it and see what works better and report back your findings.So you fully water pots until runoff with clones and a small root system put into new pots and the roots still develop?

You made me think one day when i had an extra germinated seed. I threw it in a leftover used rockwool block and been spraying my 16oz cup seedling mix to see how much it affects root growth as people say a high phosphorus mix stimulates roots....you be the judge.see the dead cotyledons? Proof it's not a clone or other trickery.You raise only the P? What do you use to raise the P, a single nutrient/P additive or some root stimulator product?
The gro is a waste. Period. I use the micro and bloom(Lucas formula) for a whole grow.You made me think one day when i had an extra germinated seed.

So this is GH Flora trio at
1ml Micro
6ml Bloom
Per gallon
That's it, no FloraGro bottle used. I only do that for my 16oz cup seedlings until i transplant them to 1gal or whatever i had planned for it. I dont do the FloraGro cuz if you look it has 6% potash and the Bloom has 4% and a better ratio when mixed out...the Gro is a waste in this application.
That's wild the growth just exploded.You made me think one day when i had an extra germinated seed.

Close. Doing a 1:0:6 mix of the GH gives an NPK of 5-30-25...big ole phosphorus ratio offset. It doesn't need as much N to grow roots as like in the pic. It had just enough N to keep those leaves healthy and growing while the ratio offset triggered more focus on root growth. I read somewhere it's the ratio that signals the plants more than the NPK numbers themselves. I could be wrong.That's wild the growth just exploded.
So are the nutrients you mentioned pk? I don't know about GH nutrients, I'll go look.
FloraGro NPK ratio: 2:1:7/ FloraBloom NPK ratio: 0:5:4 / FloraMicro NPK ratio: 4:0:1
So basically npk of what you used was 4:5:4? Am I getting this right? So there is N its not just a PK for roots. A small plant in veg would need N to explode with growth like that tho wouldn't it. Sorry if I'm not getting this.
So that seedling exploded with growth from you spraying it with a ratio of 5-30-25? It doesn't have to be GH nutrients right? Any NPK mixture that comes to that ratio would work? That sounds interesting, I'll try that on some cuttings. Thanks for your help mudballs!Close. Doing a 1:0:6 mix of the GH gives an NPK of 5-30-25...big ole phosphorus ratio offset.

Oh hey I thought I understood how you got to that ratio but I don't. How does using the micro and bloom become 1:0:6 and then that gives a 5-30-25 NPK? Maybe that question is even wrong I don't know, I don't get it.Close. Doing a 1:0:6 mix of the GH gives an NPK of 5-30-25...big ole phosphorus ratio offset.

Thank you!
Ahhh I get it, nice. thank you mudballs! Er, um, isnt 4 x 6 = 24? ah just teasing, I get it tho man thank you ill try this. You use this all the way through veg? What about flowering? Have you tried this on clones?So im on a jobsite answering, forgive me...the
Micro is 5-0-1 i think
Gro is 2-1-6
Bloom is 0-5-4
So 1:0:6 is ratio shorthand for 1part Micro to 6 parts bloom...no matter what volume you do it in that's the ratio you keep.
Now add up the parts...1 part of micro+6 parts bloom gives what NPK values?
4 x 6 = 24 +1 from the NPK of Micro gives us the 25 potassium. Yes, clones is what made me go looking for increased root production actually. I only use that for about 2 weeks or so, then i go to 2ml Micro 4ml Bloom mix. i just want to get more roots in those 16oz cups so i can transplant sooner. If i just leave them (seedlings/clones) alone without feeding, they don't get a nice rootball fast enough.Ahhh I get it, nice. thank you mudballs!
