First Time Diy Aeroponic

  1. Okay from that im pretty sure you are overwatering the shit outta them seeds bro.
    How they looking today?
     
  2. It looks worst :(

  3. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

    Its pretty obvious you should be removing your seeds from the liquid within 24 hours of having a tail. Then straight into either root plugs, jiffy pellets or whatever medium you prefer.
     
  4. That's exactly what I did.
     
  5. I will try one more time with these plugs just laying them on a cookie pan with 1/2 inch of water until they grow roots and are ready for the aeroponic system. If that doesn't work I will buy rockwool cubes.
     
  6.  
    H2O2 is something you use as a last resort when you have a real problem. The less shit you add the less problems you get and are able to determine whats wrong.
     
  7. Smoosh when your seed germinates plant it into the cube. Then i want you to dip the cube so it soaks water from the bottom once a day as root riot cubes breathe better than rockwool. Once you have roots from the bottom put it in the aero system... my timers are 15 on and an hour off in my aero system. My dwc runs continuosly. You need to give time for the roots to get oxygen.
     
  8. Its obvious from your pics that your root plugs are soaked. The whole point of plugs is to be dry, to provide oxygen to roots.

    They dont need to be that wet.
     
  9. Yeah I agree. Hopefully when I try them on the baking pan with 1/2 of water after soaking them it will work.
     
  10. I just put a Seedism Diesel on a cup of water for a couple of hours before putting it on a moist paper towel. This wil be my fourth seed.
     
  11. I stuck two seeds in paper towels two days ago. They popped yesterday and i transplanted them into soil. Thats all you gotta do.

    Keep it simple simon.

    Soil always work for me, but can't start them like that for hydro man...
     
  13. Ok I am feeling very confident this time. I am doing things completely by the book. Did this today.

    I filled the tray with little more than 1/2 inch of water and added 1/4 of each per gallon, hormex and superthrive. I rolled the pod on the water to soak it good.

    I adjusted the PH of water too. Please let me know what you guys think. Hopefully this will work!

  15. Still nothing yet...

    I hope I didn't do something stupid like over watering the plug or something. I did squeezed the plug like in the picture above a little and water squirted out before putting the seed. Maybe I am just paranoid and need to wait more.

    This is my 3rd day after adding it to the plug.

    Comment's welcome :)
