Germinating seeds in soil

[ERBURT]

No less stress in coco I doubt, things move faster in dirt than Coco


From me phone enit

I thought coco is a lot more lighter than soil and airy
Which makes it easier for roots to grow out.

Dirt has always started faster until they find their feet then they go for it, that's how I see it, don't know if you can remember a few diaries when they move from dirt to 1st Coco grow they worry coz it's slower, Rasta was 1 and Buster is the other 1 off the top of my head. Have a word with him and see if he remembers .

as everyone says
thanks for a great thread,
instead of the cola bottles i have got them in a small glass kinda grow-tent-kind-of-thing
i shall get a humifier to check humidity

i have autos
so was very interested, and confused, about this bit

.
always stick to a light soil as there not loaded

loaded?? is bat mix special a light soil, which is what i have, a light soil to not burn them? - which would you recommend please

Up with food so you can get in control of the feeding sooner.

do you mean roots accelerator/ silicone and ....? get in control of the feeding???

ty for anything you could suggest
all best

[ERBURT]

I would think your batmix is heavy fed unless it says light on it.

I mean grow and bloom by feed.

You can add root stim every water an silicon every other no matter wot
Your feeding.

So I mean if you have a light mix then after 2 weeks you need to feed the plant
So you are in control an not the soil so less chance of over feedif you know wot
Your doing.

Whereas say with a batmix it's very heavy in feed so your plant could either be
Stressed,feed itself too much an burn or end up with deficiencies coz there's too
Much feed in it.

So best off with a light fed soil then you can start low on feed and up it as it needs it.
