Mixing powdered nutrient solution to 50% for watering and acclimatisating germinated seeds.
One of the many reasons I like the manutec nutrient for beginners is that it comes in two seperate resealable and labelled bags, with a measuring scoop also.
Tonight marks day 7 of the seeds being planted and they caught me by surprise being so leggy, from not having enough hours of daylight I suspect. In a few days I will remove the unwanted sprouts (eat them) and let the best of each plug flourish.
The best way I have found for getting a good 50% mix of nutrients for developing sprouts and a good watering can is to use an old milk bottle. Peep the expiry date...
Mix is 1.2g fertilizer, 0.8 calcium nitrate to 2 litres of water, shaken and then when you invert the bottle it will run of its own accord on a light mist allowing you to target single plugs in the tray or water in a pattern.
To make the best top holes, and keep even spacing, use a corn cob holder. I chose this geometric shape for no particular reason.
