Batch#01 - 30 Dec - Day 21

Let's Grow!

Just can't stop admiring the greens! The rate at which these lettuces grow is simply astounding! In the space of like 12 hours is easily 10mm (or 1cm) in length. In particular, the Grand Rapids, these are just shooting up by 15 - 20mm in just half a day!

GR harvest time tomorrow! For New Year's eve dinner with Korean Bulgogi! 


And to think that we actually harvested some (8 leaves) of the GR for brekkie today!


The sequences from top to bottom once again.

Cos/Romaine:



Observed a few burn tip for the CR. And as pointed out in this article, it showed up on the young crown leaves.

Grand Rapids
As fr the GR, there is hardly any further burn tip seen other than the first few observed in the earlier stages.


Red Oaks


Butterheads

It's all about the GR microgreens today!   And that is just 2 days after seeding. The kitchen towel method seems to be working till now. Let's see what happens in 8 days. For the time being, will keep the cup to cover the mini sprouts. Now the lollas. A close-up of the tip burn like of the cotyledons. Interesting to see that the lolla young leaves are relatively tender and thin compared to Cos. DATA EC1532 pH5.83 WT29 Water level: at mid level.
