Batch#01 - 14 Dec - Day 05

Today's measurements:
EC1000
- Good
pH7.4
- Seems to keep on going up despite using pH down. 
WT31
- seem to follow the ambient temperature. Today's a pretty hot day. 
CR doing well. A closeup below showing tiny stems emerging.
and... 
GR germinating and growing well too! Looks like I will need to thin it out. Another closeup below showing new leaf (?) emerging. 
And now on to... 
RO. 100% germination. All looking good. Says a lot about pelleted seeds. Depending on the outcome over the next few weeks, this may lead to just getting pelleted seeds for best price to yield consideration. Furthermore Kevin from BLH advised not to use seeds which are more than a year old. Hence those that come in 2500 seeds per pack may not be of value for money. 

And the last one... 
BH. Pelleted seeds 100% germination vs no pelleted ones. I would put it as around less than 30% germination %.

And on the side, I rooting out a mix of basil, and mint from Citiponics and Thai basil from Woodsquare rooftop!

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.
