So I'm doing a super simple, one light grow with 5 plants. Objective is to end up with a Bonsai Mom or two. Not harvesting, just growing a bonsai.
Went with clear cups this time so I could actually see how wet/dry the entire cup of soil is. Using two cups for each plant. One with holes in the bottom, sitting on a hole drilled spacer, inside another cup that acts as a drip catcher.
Keeping notes everyday and physically checking each cup out as often as possible. Just notice that #5 seems to have the tap root through the bottom of the first cup? On day 4 of popping through the soil after 16 hour water germ. Is this root sticking out the bottom going to be an issue ? Probably should have used some fine mesh on the bottom of the cups to prevent this but these things germed so fast, I wanted to get them into soil. No nutrients at this time, strictly RO water, as the last experiment went poorly by feeding too soon. Should I try and put it back up inside the cup ?
