What is RO I need a reminder. Do you have a tool to check the ppms/ soluble salts?

"what it took to initiate runoff (funny that you will see 'RO' elsewhere today!)
and the next time"...
Dang pumpkin growers/speed readers, lol---
I have asked Ron in his Diary as to what HE meant by it.
PS---Nah. No saltmeter;
Hey, imagine growing already-salty potatoes!
>>>Just gotta find an oceanic beach with high OM...
The idea here is to see how Mycor (Mycorrhizal Fungi) can grow a seedling
with no inputs butt the least possible. I suppose I goofed that a little
by adding-in the seed coat, in pieces. Either weigh, it is going all right.

RO water isn't cheap ,takes 4 or so gallons of regular water to make 1 gallon of RO water, but definitely good water

You can CAUSE stem elongation by putting a seedling in darkness for 24 hours at a time, in case it has not reached some commemorative height desired for planting in the patch.
For example, if the seed leaves are still AT the same level as the seed-starting mix in the original sprouting container, this can be alleviated by doing so and managing it. I added enough water to the seedling above today, Feb 21st at 3:15 PM to have it at the half-full level, which is in itself interesting because if it keeps surviving, well, Mycor is sustaining the plant with simply spring tap water.
Symbiosis of Construction, lol---eg
