I think I prefer a soiless seed starter too. I try and stick to soil-like mediums, it just seems more natural. Can I ask you about spaghnum? Do you prefer it over coco? I don't know anything about it. I've heard peat is too acid for mj. I've been at a loss to find a good seed starter - most store bought stuff seems to have food in it. The coco is ok, but has absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever. I've been trying to go between - mix coco with a little Ocean Forest. My seedlings grew like mad when I put them in the stuff a month ago. But they went through some weird reaction I haven't figured out. Grew like crazy, then one clawed up, one slowed way down and had brown leaf edges, and even the robust one had brown edges. I tried to be patient with them till old enough to feed, and they now seem to like the food and new leaves look good (occasional brown tip). They're not supposed to have food the first 2 weeks, and even looked like they had too much... or not enough. I'm still confused as to what was off.
giggletwig Reviewed by giggletwig on . Adventures in Cloning.... help please? Hi guys! I am trying to clone some plants from my (large and bushy) new babies who are 3 wks. old. I've followed cloning instructions, did the cuts, the scraping, dipped in Clonex and put in pots to root. I'm a real cheapskate, so what I've done is put the clones in coco in solo cups, and am using plastic baggies over the tops as domes (they fit pretty good) with a stick in the cup to hold the bag off the plant (read about this method on another site). I have four little clones and Rating: 5
