My one daughter has a career in sustainability. She would be so happy to see me recycling materials for my “domes”!
And what would a day be without a current Lucy shot - yes, I’m still taking daily pics of her so that I know what things should “look like” and not trust my rapidly failing memory!
Good to do, and it’s one of the reasons why I’ve been wondering/going back and forth about how much grow dots to use, lol. My bloom nutes are natural/organic, with my current plant I used 1/2 strength, and I’m curious about the mix of synthetics and natural/organics.
Do you have picks of the “banana peel” cups before you put them into the pots? You described it once, but I don’t recall it all. I’m curious/I like the idea of having the top-most portion having the cups around the top area; I’m not describing it well, but my plants get exposed roots near the surface! It seems that would be avoided with what you are doing.
I don’t have pictures, but what I did was cut the bottom off the cup (allowing roots to grow down without hitting the plastic), and then to make it easier to take out of the pot once baby seedling is established, you cut the cup from top to bottom in three slices. Those get buried, so the seed is “in a cup”, the water is contained in that area (can’t get out to the rest of the pot), and it’s easy to remove.
Congrats on your new grow! Are u using the grow dots for nutrients? I have them but haven’t used yet. They are supposed to support a whole grow as I read it.
I am going to put them in one pot, the little pot. Likely it will be my go-to nutes going forward. I was using their Recharge already - which I do think helped Lucy fill out, plus Mykos.
The less stuff I use the better IMO. I do have some silica this time, will likely add it when they are little.
After nearly spraining my wrist chopping Lucy, I know once they are grown their stems/stalks are STRONG.
Interesting, all set to watch this grow. I have the grow dots & the “autoflower living soil for my next grow. I have a lot of seeds to get rid of. Curious how many additives there will be. I’ll be experimenting
