🌿 C99 (Cinderella 99) – End of Week 2: Repotting Day & Into the Final Home!
Weekly Update:
The little C99 has been developing brilliantly over the past two weeks. However, the small starter cup (Red Solo Cup) reached its absolute limit—during repotting, a gorgeous, dense, and healthy white root system was revealed, having completely root-bound the cup. Time for the next big step! 🚀
Setup & Details:
Container: Upgraded from the small cup to an 8.5-liter final pot
Medium: Freshly mixed 50/50 Coco-Perlite mix (ideal for maximum aeration and drainage)
Special Feature: An Airdome is installed at the bottom to supply the root zone with extra oxygen.
Lighting (PPFD): Stable at 400 PPFD
Feeding / Watering: Thoroughly watered in right after repotting with an EC of 1.4 and a pH of 5.8.
Observations:
The plant shows strong vigor, though it was starting to show slightly lighter leaves in the old cup as the nutrients were running low. The fresh coco/perlite mix combined with the tuned EC of 1.4 and pH 5.8 gives her the exact fuel boost she needs. The roots look pristine, and thanks to the Airdome and the increased volume, she is ready to explode in growth.
Ready for Week 3! 🌿✨
