Sickly plants
LED 90W about 15 inches away. No heat but I was worried it's too much light because those things are bright. Much brighter than any CFL I've seen so far in the Hydro store.
The changes I'm making for the next attempt.
One plant I've germinated and planted in rapid rooter. It's just starting to sprout under the humidity dome which has a heat pad underneath. I will let it sprout after which I will and develop more roots under some light. That I will transplant into a hydro bucket with an air pump and clay pebbles. I want to give hydro a try as it's easier to get air to the roots and easier to adjust/measure pH and PPM. The water in the hydro bucket is 6.0 pH and contains nutrients at a quarter of strength for the recommended fox farms feeding schedule.
The second plant is germinating now. This seed looks bigger than normal and it seems to be taking longer to show a root with the paper towel method. Once it's germinated, I plan to put it in a party cup which contains of Sunshine Advanced Rain Forest, which is supposed to be a no-burn formula and has endomicorrhizae in it, mixed with 25% perlite. Once the plant survives that, I plan to move it to the 10 inch pots with a mix of the Rain Forest, Ocean Forest, and 25% perlite.
On the party cup, how much water should I add? Are five holes for drainage enough? Should I avoid getting water on top of the seed? How often will I need to re-water that? Should I have a humidity dome on it until it sprouts?
