Batch#01 - 21 Dec - Day 13

Sweaty GR leading to tip burns?

Before we get to the burn tip issue, I'm happy with the way things are going. The system is relatively easy to use and maintain. 10 mins (or less) is needed to do a quick scan via observation and for data recording.

Dewdrops or water droplets due to transpiration formed at the tips of some GR youger leaves in the early morning. Didn't dry it to observe what may happen.

Sequence as usual:

CR:

GR:

RO:

BH:

And I suspect that the BH species that came from Yash and BLH are different, judging from the leaves.

Yash's on the left, which seems to show more serrated like leaves, while BLH on the right, look more rounded.

Water level has depleted to near the minimum level.

So topped up with another 3L of water, and 5ml each of A, B and C.

This time around, 1 drop of pH down was added to each 1L of water, before the mix is poured into T1.

Data before adding 3L of nutrient mix:

EC1050

- Good range. Will check again after adding 3L of mix.

pH6.10

- remains in desired range.

WT30

- consistent with ambient temperature

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.

Batch#01 - 31 Dec - Day 22

HARVEST TIME! GR for New Year's eve dinner! Finally harvested 134.9g of Grand Rapids for dinner! The before, harvest and after look! Leaving some leaves for brekkie tomorrow! From the top to bottom again: Cos/Romaine: The Grand Rapids or what's left over! Red Oak: Butterhead: Data: (before harvest) EC1146 pH6.93 - once again, the pH crept up again, despite adding 6 drops of down yesterday. Time to adjust it downwards once again. - added 10 drops of pH down. WT29 Water Level: at MIN level again. - Topped up with another 2L with 10mL of ABC. Adjusted with 6 drops of Down.
