I mixed up a little big bloom in the starting water, but I think it got leached out. Not sure if the residue stays in the foam. I guess I meant that compared to soil where RO water in a spray bottle is fine, it's just more trouble to mix, then pH something.

After using rockwool i am not a fan. I have topangas in coco and in rockwool and the rockwool is really behind in development.
They get moldy. They hold water too long. Bleh
I like watering every day and i love coco. The stuff works for me like a champ.
But i do like these rockwool things i got for clones because they are so easy to put on the clone without breaking it
Then i put them in coco..100% of the time. If i use a water system i just wash off the roots or put them in coco in the flood and drain
Soil is weird. Having to read plants for their needs...they need what i give them LOL (please girls i was kidding)

I did that splitting the rapid-rooters open, then the little plastic trays to hold them back together around it. Those definitely won't work for seeds.After using rockwool i am not a fan. I have topangas in coco and in rockwool and the rockwool is really behind in development.

Only thing I like about him is their ability to not drown the roots no matter how wet . Never really started seeds in em just clones.After using rockwool i am not a fan. I have topangas in coco and in rockwool and the rockwool is really behind in development.

I cut some down into little round cylinders about an inch wide. I'm all about trying different things. I'm thinking about germing some more shit seeds and trying a few methods. I am pretty sure that I just rushed it.
I think thinner will be better, maybe shorter too. I just hate messing with helmet-heads, and these seem to be good at scrubbing the embryonic shit off the coty's before they pop up. The rapid rooters did too for the most part.
The loose soil just doesn't. So all I need really is something the roots can get through quicker, just because my intent is to get them into soil.
The soil part is because the starter soil has food stuff for seedlings that I don't have to mess with or mess up.

I left these outside all winter, using the onions, and the rest just covered with leaves. Had our last frost so I busted them back out. The thyme is killing it. The parsley was, but I think my woodchuck is done hibernating. The only herb he has messed with is the parsley and both looked the same yesterday. If I have any parsley seeds I am spreading all of them somewhere I don't mow.

I've never had issues with the soil itself. The plants seem to like it. I just have to mess with baby plants with tweezers and stuff more often than not.

The big-top
You san see theres a little more stretch to the three taller ones in the rear. The two Blue Eyes in the back and the BB in the middle. The CS and BM in front
are already filled in.
Here's some plants I didn't pic yesterday. The Blackwater x ??? is a 5-top, and all are getting plump.
The two Blue Eyes from @J.James
And the Frosted Blueberry Biscuit

Day 18 into flip, and the DCP is still ugly, up-potting did nothing. I was tempted to mess with it but the lights clicked off. She's getting amputated tonight so she takes up less room, and baby will stay in the corner. I want to get a taste, so this might be a time to try that single main cola thing (or close) on a plant.
Other than that the closet is rocking. It has a general dank sweetness, but no defined smells really
This closet and the Nigerian Bubblegum are about the same in maturity, So I might end up propping her on a bucket in here if/when I need room. The HAOG Skunky VA looks more promising with the lights out. The leaf-to-calyx ratio looks more leafy up top, but if they all plump up it should be good.
And these are slow. Might be going back to soil - decision soon because I am dropping the Hippie Crippler soon. Been bugging the hell out of @J.James and figuring out calendar stuff with what I have growing already, and I think enough stuff will be cleared out before I need tent room.
