Batch#01 - 20 Jan - Day 42 (Time for Epsom Salt)

Time for some Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)

What triggered that? The lollas actually. Seems like the cotyledons are yellowing and some are showing tip burn like signs. Not too sure why, or if this is even normal, but no similar observation on the real leaves. The lolla leaves though look a little yellow compared to the Cos or even Butterheads. Did a bit of reading and was reminded of this picture.

Added 1/4 teaspoons of Epsom into 1L of water. On top of that added, 5ml of ABC into another 1L of water, moderated by 10 Downs.

A side story. The GR microgreens.

These little babies!

Another side story. The Genovese Sweet Basil has recovered!

DATA (before top up & Epsom)

EC1466

pH5.90

WT29

Water level: at mid level.

Water level rose to max after addition of 2L of water.

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.
