Batch#01 - 14 Jan - Day 36 (EC level rises due to CaNO3)

EC jump after CaNO3 top-up

A jump of about 400uS to EC1488 after the top-up of 10ml of CaNO3. pH also dropped to below 5.50. Both parameters are above the ideal range. Hopefully, this don't kill my lettuces.

Just 3 days into seeding, where about 4 to 5 seeds were placed in each pot. As can be seen, germination percentage is very good.

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.
