Yeah it’ll totally work, you might want to mix something in there that’s a binder of some sort but soil blocking is awesome, very low-cost and low-impact way to seed start for small farms, I have a bunch of friends who have those little blocker presses to make cubes with, here’s the explanation from the OGest source, Eliot Coleman whose books I love.
Coleman is a great dude from Maine, super awesome at finding that balance between the traditional and innovative, biology and technology and the human place as mediator between those sometimes. I like that he respects human agency as toolmakers and shapers of our environment while also respecting the power of the natural world and our small place in it. Neat guy!
Thanks! I think this will work well I hope anyways! I took 1 of each cut to try this way and then root riots which I know will work in my setup once they arrive.
Oh I didn’t spray the plants in flower just fed with a watering. Or still too far into flower for it? I don’t spray anything once I see buds. The pics are day 46ish.
ya its time now to just let them do there thing, no more adding or spraying anything. well bud boosters if ya use them. next round keep track of when and what and how much, then if they go south sooner then you want you will know you did not add enough while going through your veg stage.
Yea I took a 6 pack planter, packed the starter soil into those, used a stick to make a hole, and then inserted the cut in clonex and then into the hole, packed again and into the cloner.
Those starters only like 1.5 inches, think root riot cube size. Once they root they go into solo cups or big cuts like these go into a 3 or 4 inch square pots of my Veg soil. I typically see roots to the edge of the cups within 24 hours of planting.
humm ya not sure what to say to that, i have never tried to root anything in something so small like that. i hope they root for you for-sure, would be interested to know if they do or don’t ?.
Oh yea I’ll update with the good bad and ugly. That’s my typical rooting size, I find it gets them out of the cloner and into the Veg tent faster that way. Once I see roots poking out into veg they go.
