Plugs are soaked in Bloom A + B; cuttings and rooted clones are fed Veg A + B.

  1. Fill a five-gallon bucket. Use four gallons of water and the batch amounts above.
  2. Set pH to 5.5–5.7. Optional: add 1–2 tbsp Myco Jordan or another beneficial bacteria.
  3. Soak the root plugs. Soak thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. Gently squeeze each plug to remove 30%–40% of its water.
  4. Space the plugs. Use a 50-site divider. Fill every other space in a checkerboard pattern.
  5. Prepare the insertion point. Cut a slit in the top of each plug where the hole is located, so clones can be inserted without damage.
