Batch#01 - 16 Dec - Day 07

EC980
- Good. Within range for growing stage. 
pH7.2
- after a night of mixing, and I am assuming uniformity here, pH is still slightly alkaline. 
WT28
- OK. But not ideal. Once system is more stable with more real leaves, will consider putting in place the idea of using coolant bag to lower WT. 

CR doing well. 
RO too. But serious overcrowding issue. Still need to thin them out. Idea is to leave 3 best sprout per pot. 
RO doing fine too. 
BH also growing well especially those that sprouted early. The other 3 initially empty pots are showing signs of germination. 

Contrast the closeups. At this stage of growth (with just one or two real leaves), I find it hard to be able to tell them apart. Real leaves are somewhat serrated and shape wise, almost identical. If any, the GR real leaves appear to thinner and slightly translucent compared to the rest though. 

Action:
Added 4 drops of pH down to attempt to lower the pH again. At bottom tier. Instant pH4.4.
Will measure again after a few hours. 
Measured at 8pm. 
pH6.7.

Added 2 more drops.

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.

Batch#01 - 21 Jan - Day 43 (GR microgreens!)

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.
