Another Runt

Scarlet Runtz by the Going2fast showgirl review and laundromat.
Sprouted in coco. Now living in large size perlite as a water baby. The 'stovepipe' is an old mechanical pencil that just happened to fit the air hose perfectly. Got it melted and poked through the lid and situated to keep light out.
Chasing the pH is going to be an issue. 6.0 going in. 6.7 after 30 minutes and brought back down. 30 minutes later I was back to 6.5. Adjusted again to 6.0. Got some thinking to do about airing the water before switching.
This might be a short journal.

Like whoa man. Kinda neat. So that's a solo cup full of coco with holes on the bottom, sitting in a coffee container filled with perlite and nutrient water?

Coffee container. Folgers by the looks. Very large,, probably Sam's Club or the like.. Cool setup for sure.

It is a holed-up Solo cup full of large perlite suspended in a Folgers coffee tub full of nutrient solution. Not the largest tub they make. Just the largest I had. 2 pounds, me thinks. Hole cut in tub lid, cutout put over the Solo to block light.
It didn't die overnight so... yeah. That's good. But the pH went up to 6.5. I'm going to buy a splitter for the air hose to oxygenate fresh nutrient solution before swapping.

That's cool as hell man, I hope it works out for you,I'm going to build something kinda like that for the solo cup challenge I think 🤔

Like I said in the other post, if it lives and I can keep the roots trimmed I'll throw it in the SCC octagon. Some of these cats do [hydro] for real-for real and know what's what. I'm purely going by the seat-of-my-pants, as it were.

[DabberDog]

Yeah, Folgers is nasty coffee in the world of coffee. But it is heaps cheaper than decent whole bean and you don't taste it if you pretty it up.

[ductwizard]

you need to irish that folgers up, after 2-3 the taste don't matter

Yeah, me too, I have no experience with hydro but I want to try,who knows,I might end up changing my grow style lol
