Hi Gingerbeard,
I see from your signature that you have started a coco grow on 1-20. I'm new to coco and will be starting my first grow at the end of next month. Are you planning to post about it? If so, I thought I'd follow along and see how the GDP does. I'm assuming that is GrandDaddyPurple. I am not far away from harvest for my first auto run. One of the plants being GDP. But I digress. I'm curious about the process from germination to first pot up and the amount of nutrients to provide the seedling. I saw an article that said start the seeds in rapid rooters or some such, and at the appropriate time put the whole thing in its final home. That sounds easy enough but I'm wondering if there are other options. Seems logical there should be other options but so far I'm not finding them. I must not be asking google the right question.

Hey-ya GE. The links below are self explanatory: This grow and the last.
I sprout in towel and go to coco. 1/4 dose nutes to get the seedlings started. 1/2 dose until the first set of leaves come out. Then full strength. I oxygenate my water just before watering.
I've never tried rapid rooters. Too many people come back with issues. Some don't but enough do that I do my towel to seed thing. The number one issue is people put the seeds in upside-down. Some water too much or not enough. A seed planted directly to soil or coco upside down, it will right itself, eventually. Sprouting first lets you see if there are any duds and makes sure you know which end is down.
The GDP did great in my last grow. Until... well... skip to the end. I'll keep posting at least once a week.
