Please just ignore any improper Grammar i write . I'll do my best to describe and express my thought.
Here we go:
Day1
Germinating: i planted my seeds----Sterling Haze,Afghan Kush*Black Domina straight into the 100% coco in a tray covered by a dome to keep humidity. Then put it in a worm place.
At the meantime I soaked another one seed in the distilled water covered it with a sheet to avoid light and leave it in a warm enviroment as well. I regard it as plan B in case of the method above fails.After being soaked in the water overnight, it did not sprout but I decided to put it in to rockwool cube right away.
Later that day:I realized that i had made a huge mistake which might kill my young seeds in coco.Because i had forgot to check the PPM or EC of my coco coir. The result really shocked me. At 1000PPM,way too much salt in it! Here is an useful infomation i got from other websites ---
USA 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 500 ppm
European 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 640 ppm
Australian 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 700 ppm
So, in another words my coco’s salt are about X times then ususal! Hoping my seeds could make it. From this accident,i learned a lesson that i should always check the PPM of the new coco and rinse it as much as need before using .
Day4
One of my seeds has sprouted,its leaves are yellow. Being worried about the yellow leaves i did some searches and it seems normal for the first couple of days. On the right side of my seedling,another indica seed has not showed up yet. After a few hours the yellow 'leaves' of my seedling turned to green ,amazing!
I'll update in a few days if things go well. Anyone who has the experience of growing in coco, please feel free to give any useful information or advice.Thanks.
