Hey everyone,
these are my auto AK seedlings that sprouted from the soil 5 days ago,
the soil a 60/40 mix of seed raising mix and perlite (NO NUTES! -lesson learned)
they are being grown in an underground cellar that is staying nice and cool
with temps sticking around 25 C and 60% humidity
they are under 4 x 18W cool daylight fluro battens currently
QUESTIONS
1. these plants need to be transfered outside within 2.5 weeks, which is
currently 13/11 daylight/darkness, and am wondering when it would be best
to do this?
should i put them outside for a few hours then back under the fluros for a
while, or just put them in some shade for a day or two when i put them out?
2. I will be repotting them into 5L or larger pots in 3-4 days, so wat soil mix
should i use?
I was think a mix of; 25% organic potting mix (bone meal, blood meal etc)
50% soil NO NUTES at all
25% Perlite
3. Nutes?
I really dont want to overnute these babies (bad first attempt )
so that was why i was gonna use the slow release organic potting soil in the mix
but am open to using ABSOLUTELY no nutes in the soil for the mix
the organic potting mix says Xtra slow release but from wat i have read i
should stay away from anything slow release so i am confused about wat to
do, heres the link for the soil Amgrow Garden King, Australia - Amgrow Organix Potting Mix
p.s last pic of auto AK which sprouted today (2nd lot of 5)
Thanks in advance
Peace
