Thank you for recipe! But, i don't know Veg-A and Veg-B. Maybe you write about old Kalix fertilizers? Grow A and Grow B, or Mothers A and Mothers B?

Correct........kalix is their bulk wholesale of NPK RAW BRAND..... I buy from kalix for most of it......... Except for mono ammonium phosphate and the vitamin B.And potassium things I use in very small amounts...... Although the b magnesium I
could probably stand to buy that wholesale also

5.5-6.5
An even 6 ph is the way to go.... When you start going over six point five you just don't get the metal ion's in and you will lack magnesium big time
Thank for your answers! I have done this with a similar solution and got РН lift, circa on 0.5 unit/day. Pouring H3PO4 daily, concentration of phosphorus in the solution still increase. In the week time have been poured more than 100ppm P. I'm scared, it is abmissible concentration limit. What do you do with that?

I ph only when ready to fertilize..........
For me, it's always PH down.Try using the dark or black humic acid crystals.It's really a very good p h buffer......... My reservoir is 70 gallons, and I usually you just put a splash in there and it's always about perfect
Thanks for advice! It's a pity money for NPK, but there is local black humic acid. I'll try it)

THESE GROW QUITE FAST AND VIGOROUS
Its funny the leaves get thicker and al.ost resemble blades of grass.I have only ever noticed this in the very open mixes and co2.
They are definitely starting to pump up!
The perlite does a great job retaining perfect moisture after it starts to settle into the pot.At first I have to give a quick overhead spritz in the mornings before work.
These should be great!

They look almost like century plants. I’ll have to get some more when they are ready. I have run out of bench space, but maybe I can set us a new table to grow some out in full sun.

PLANTING TODAY!
These will be off to a great start!
I wonder if I might always just leave them mature in a flat and then do the transplanting.
It may start them off better.....they get the whole root starter fertilizdr phase done in the flat and then transplanted.
Anyway these are a nice deep blue color and very vigorous.

HERE WE ARE @ 4 WEEKS FROM TRANSPLANTING!!!!
I am pleased with the performance of these cuttings in the perlite @ 4 weeks now.
Daily watering and no chance of overwatering.
The co2 fertilization definitely hastening growth by a good 50% or more.......In a good way.

CHANGE OF PLANS!!!
I got so excited about the productivity and quality of the pine seedling cuttings that I decided it best to make more quantities of these while I have time.No reason to work so hard for a couple hundred cuttings.
I decided to fill the whole table with flats of cuttings...@ about 200 cuttings a flat there will be tons of cuttings to go around.
The plan is to start again around mid January since 3 months will be plenty of time from start to finish.Any longer and the flats will crowd.
I was very pleased to see the quality being left to grow in the flats without disturbing them at all.
So in Spring they will be brought into the sunshine and planted into small pots for shipping and then many will also be planted into Band Pots w/ Anderson Flats.I researched these today and have deduced the air-pruning in these will be fantastic and surely the best way to store these cuttings during the season before potting or just wrapping with plastic without a pot for shipping.
These will surely have nice and firm air-pruned rootballs from the Band Pots!! Definitely better than storing the season in a regular pot with tangling and circling roots.
This is the best way so everyone can pot these at almost anytime of year with absolutely no root disturbance since grown in the Band Pots......they will be very neat and firm rootballs.
I will select t the rather smallest Band Pots they offer @ about 2.5"x 3.5"....... They will do great with perlite and ebb and flow........AWESOME............THERE IS A TEASER PICTURE OF THE KIND OF SEEDLING CUTTINGS I WILL BRING OUT IN THE SPRING TO POT UP IN THE BAND POTS AND ALSO REGULAR POTS.....IN JUST A FEW WEEKS OF SUNSHINE THEY WILL GROW ABUNDANTLY AND BE GOOD QUALITY.........also much more quantities to go around.
I already cleaned out the growhouse today to get ready for this
I just took the past couple months as a test run.......
THE BAND POTS WILL BE OUTDOORS AFTER I START THE SEEDLING CUTTINGS OVER THE WINTER IN THE CO2 FERTILIZED GROWHOUSE AND THEN AVAILABLE FOR SHIPPING ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.......ALONG WITH SOME POTTED UP INTO REGULAR POTS RIGHT AWAY IN SPRING FOR SPRING SALES....( after growing a few weeks outdoors).
THE GROWHOUSE WILL BE FULL OF 10X20 FLATS FILLED WITH SEEDLING CUTTINGS IN JANUARY......I AM FINDING THIS METHOD SUPERIOR AND HAVING A WAY FOR MUCH MORE QUANTITIES....THEY ARE QUITE VIGOROUS WHEN LEFT ALONE IN THEIR ORIGINAL ROOTING FLATS OF PERLITE.......JUST FOR A COUPLE MONTHS THOUGH OR THEY WILL SHADE OUT TOO CLOSELY PLANTED.
