Tap water nutrients only?

Yes, up to this point, nothing butt BioGrow Endo Plus and spring tap water, which likely has lime in it from where it originates. Long story short (yeah, right, with me? lol) these 2-166s were 'air-sprouted' in the lid of the McD's cup 2-2-26 - stuck into slits I made in the lid and the daily-wetted seeds will sprout and extend downward their tap roots. Well, TOO TALL an order, lol and they did not have the resources *that* time to reach the 'awaiting' BGEP below. Hence, I did the 'plop-on-top' thing 2-21-26 and that was way back in the Diary, somewhere here and they've grown rather well since that time, even with still just Myco and water.

So, these seeds were started-started 2-2-26, lived in Hell with Myco support awhile and switched over to 24-8-16 Expert Gardener (WalMart) water-soluble around 3-27-26, probably right after the other, single 166 started being in SS Mix and got the 24-8-16. They have progressed in FORM (more males trying) butt not in size, as the container is still the same one. Alive and well, though! My-co, My-co, My-co...

Yea no I've been following it, I just wasn't sure if you had fed it beyond what you had shared. Where's the npk coming from ya think? I can understand minerals but can't wrap my head around the others to get to this point

I was intrigued by this video below, which, as many of Little Ketchup's informational offerings,
makes you think more deeply than surficially, or 'on the surface'. A few minutes' watch per day,
perhaps, or all at once, will reveal what one researcher figured was or were the sources of
the NPK therein:

The whole point of my experiment was to see and show how minimalistic the AG/any plant? is and
'if so here, then so there' and Holy crap, what if on a grand scale? (Weighoff pun intended, lol);
There have been movies of soldiers in extreme enemy territory having to be under water with
breathing tubes that were the stems of the plants/reeds, I guess, in that pond. This seems similar
and in this/my case maybe not even short-term. Okay...someone will eventually bring up hydroponics,
lol, butt I'm just glad it's working under 'my own steam'. A pat on my own back for having tried this
before having seen the video. Pheewww! Close call, lol.
Thanks for following/watching, lol---eric g
