Rudles Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Can't get my planting done this moment because I have to get some sleep before work. Twelve hour shifts are hard on an old fat man. Will these be OK if I don't plant them until tomorrow morning? How about for a few days? Here's my parameters a few hours ago; 05-20 0930 Ammonia .10 ppm Nitrite 2.0 ppm Nitrate 80 ppm pH 6.4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I'm assuming your just cycling your tanks based on the water parameters. But, yes the plants will be fine. They've been in those very pots since they were at the farms, a few more days wont hurt. Is that a sword I see in the back? If your going to be keeping these plants in the pots for a while longer you may want to consider inserting a root tab in the rock wool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted May 20, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2021 They'll be fine until tomorrow. You may want to look into getting your pH up a bit. 6.4 is pretty low. I use crushed coral mixed into the substrate to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudles Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Thank you. The latest I would be planting them would be Saturday morning. I have two more twelve hour shifts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary K Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I kept mine in the baskets for 3 or 4 days when I was cycling my 29. I used root tabs and easy green also. Good Luck👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
