:d5: EoF, they lookin' phaaa-aaat!! :bow: -beautiful build they're taking,... :spels:

....:doh: my gals are staying shy, and haven't broken surface yet, dammit! Weird, because the garage area is a nice warm temp- :shrug: ...I'll do some surgical surface scratching, and WTF is up!
 
Looks like you and I are the stragglers here....lol!

Update:

a second Ice Cool is breaking soil! One to go! Both of these are in the kind soil pot so I'm really hoping the last one pops to have a comparison. We'll see in a few days.

One of the new seedlings is doing well, the other...? Well, we'll see, I've had others that started very small and became good sized plants. The Double Bubbly from the first group is doing well also, nicely flowered. I swear though, these pots are ruining my plants! I can think of no other reason for them being so small The soil is what everything else is growing in..........

Ok, I guess an experiment at this point can't hurt........... I'm going to give one of them un-treated tap water. I haven't given my canna tap ( well water that has chlorine in it ), in 2 years. I'll see how one of these plants tolerates it. The other, I'll switch to lemon juice for my PH down. The Double Bubbly I'll just continue as usual.
 
My Ice Cool are shaping up nicely. The seedling that had a slow start is finally putting on growth. I'm hoping to see them explode soon! I decided not to include the non -Kindsoil plant as its no longer a valid comparison. But with these, so far so good! And won't have damned males this time...lol!

Great report! I plan to run the Kind Soil I have left in similar fashion in auto pots and have some ideas on getting the most from it in auto pots.

Update!

Well I had planted a bunch of REGULAR beans (because that's all I had on hand) and put them in 1 gallon pots for the purpose of this test. I didn't want to waste the opportunity in case I had males in the bunch, so I took four Blackberry Stone's and brought them to sex in 1 gallon pots using pure coco-coir and my normal nutrient regiment of Sea Grow 16-16-16. Once they sexed, I moved them to the autopots (which happened just a few days ago) and now after the transplant, I am continuing on using only pH'd water as recommended for the soil. Any leaf problems in these pics (taken just today) were from pre-transplant. I will continue to veg them out and flower until completed using only water.

The plant in the smaller 2 gallon pot on the far right is actually what I had left over for Kind Soil. I wasn't planning on showcasing it, it was just actually kind of a "well crap, there's a tiny bit left and this is what I have, so... for shits and grins let's put this in a pot!" I was advised I would probably have problems going straight coco-coir with my seedlings with Kind Soil. The mix in the 2 gallon pot is the layer of Kind Soil on the bottom, then the rest is coco-coir, perlite, and I mixed maybe a cup full of Kind Soil into the TOP layer of coco-coir. It's actually done surprisingly well! Not the biggest of the betties but it's holding it's own for something I have literally ONLY given pH'd water through it's entire life!

And here's a lineup of the four that were just transplanted:

Curious to see how these babies finish out! My impressions so far is that this is an EXTREMELY easy system, provided it works for the needs of the plants. In my comparison here I have 4 plants were fed nutrients via my normal schedule (and now switching to the Kind Soil system to finish veg and flower,) and one literally just KS from start to finish!

Was also warned they may not work well in autopots, I'm still working on hooking up the system but have been hand watering since transplant. The root balls were place RIGHT on top of the KS layer though, so they should easily be hitting it for the leach/wicking.

More updates coming, just wanted to get these babies sexed before posting pictures of possible male parts all over haha!

Appreciate the opportunity from @Kindsoil !
