Tolemans Hydro starts

[Toleman]

10 places in hydro this year and these are the lucky ones. (although my mum compares hydro plants to intensively bred chickens)

Sowed on the 20th
Chocolate Bhut - (THSC)
Fatalii
Dorset Naga
7 Pot Yellow - (THSC)
7 Pot Brain Strain - (Cappy)
Infinity - (Woody) - 25th
Yellow Scorpion CARDI - (Cmpman)
Trinidad Scorpion CARDI - (Trini)
Pimenta De Neyde - (JungleRain)
Pimenta Morango.

Many thanks to all who sent me seeds.

8 are going into a recirculating drip irrigation system and 2 into a nft system. The rockwool cubes are sitting in my 'geminator' as outlined in another post. Set to 28 Celsius and my first one has popped up in 5 days although split the shell in 3. Pimenta De Neyde has split its shell as well as a Brain Strain.

Smallest seedling ever?

Looks beautiful. I just started some seeds for the first time in rockwool and like the idea of being able to look a the seed and seeing if anything has happened yet. Please post progress pics, I would love to see them.

Thanks for the reply Jacob.

I have seen it done before like that so I thought I would give it a go. I suppose it also allows some air around the seed and prevents it getting too wet. Remember to rinse the cubes first, preferably in rain or soft tap water. Then once the seedlings pop up I have been giving them 0.5ml/L of GHE nutrients.

Progress pictures will follow.

Then you will love it even more in a few weeks. It is a beautiful plant.

Coming on nicely now. I'm not sure I am giving the purple ones enough intense light for them to go proper purple yet. PDN has a deformed leaf as I over watered them last weekend as I was away.

Any new new's???There looking great,how often to you water your rockwool??

 

[Toleman]

Hi toasty. The small starter cubes need some every day really as the dry out quick. The big ones got soaked in nute solution before transplant and lasted about 10 days. Now they stay wet for about a week. Thanks for the interest. Pictures from the other day.

Little bit of an update:

Added a yellow 7 pot to the nft: (seeds from THSC. Very vigorous)

Plants super healthy and will be ready for plant out beginning of May.

I think there is something wrong with your image host, but the pictures I see look really nice. Good luck

 

[Toleman]

Thanks for the heads up. No problems this end. I'm using photobucket by the way.
