YESH! My Yashponics Kit has arrived

 

 

The Eagle has Landed!
And so here it is. Not exactly an eagle, but the Yashponic 4-tier black kit. After a short 4 days wait after placing the order for pre-existing stock, the box arrived yesterday, late evening. 

Time to be Bob the Builder
Decided to start on the hardware set up today, since I am unsure how long it will take me. As shared in the videos put up by helpful Yashponics owners, it takes around 2.5 hours. The assembly videos are helpful. They gave me a good idea of how to start and the overall concept of the built. The whole process made all that easier, thanks to the numbered parts. And yes the whole kit is up and ready. 


Easy to set up? My Verdict...
With the videos provided by Yash, the numbered parts, it's totally a breeze to get the whole kit up. Took my time to unbox the parts, lay them out (in other words, you need some space for all these), and put them together. 

Only boo-boo along the way is that I forgot to rinse all the parts as advised! And since I'm too lazy to disassemble the kit, I did the next best thing. Soaked the pots, and wet-wipe the rest of the parts, except the LED. Not sure how this absentmindedness will affect the subsequent outcome!

What about the greens?
Found 6 packets of greens. A mix of 2 leafy types (buttercup lettuce and if I am not mistaken, Chinese lettuce) and 4 fruity types (cucumber, red and yellow tomatoes and yellow chilli or sharp-tip capsicum)!



The big question  
And what is that? Which plant combo should I start with? One type? More than one? Which location is optimal for a combo mix? Okay I lied! Certainly more than 1 question. Will ask the sifus in Yashponics Owners group in Telegram or FaceBook!

Akan Datang MISSION?
Deciding on what to plant and actually doing that!

Batch 2 - Cycle 2 (30 days)

 Batch 2 - Cycle 2 (30 days) Report And so, 30 days in (After seeding, germination, and transplant) and the lettuces are growing well. No adverse signs of infection, or burnt tips (yet?). Fingers crossed, they stay healthy and strong! Generally, EC is kept to about 600. pH measurement is about neutral. Honestly, not measuring pH regularly right now. EC is measured about once every 2 days.   The challenge now is which lettuce is which? This is the result of transplanting any healthy-looking sprouts to the net pots. An alternative view, from the side. So time to make a little educated and experienced guess. Starting from the top and left, the label is 01, and moving to the right, it's 02, and so on. The bottom left is therefore 07, and followed through to 12. My guess is:  1 - Lettuce 211; 2 to 5: Butterhead; 6 - Lettuce 211; 7, 8 - Grand Rapids, 9 to 12: Lettuce 211;

Batch 2 - Transplant Cycle 2

Transplant Cycle 2 Transplanted an assortment of GL and L211 mix that is about 7 days old. These came from seeding that was done on 9 May. Leftover sprouts.  Tried to grow Chinese Kale via Kratky using the wicking method planter pots and two 20W E27 grow lights. A close up of the CK sprouts.
