Batch#01 - 13 Feb - Day 64 (Day 2 CNY - Double Harvest)

Day 2 of CNY Double Harvest

Harvested a colanderful of Red Oaks for brekkie.

Red Oaks tasted very earthy, hinting at end of life. Although no signs of bolting yet, perhaps at 60 plus days, these batch is almost at senior citizen phase.

And lollas for lunch. Tasted a little earthy but young and tender. At 24 days young.

Balance of Red Oaks after harvest.

Lollas are definitely ready for harvest. Just waiting for the right meal opportunity to come along.

Feeling guilty (slightly) for missing 2 days of data in a row! 😅

So here's the lay of the land for today. Data shows OK EC but pH creeping up. Water level is at Min level. So some topping up in order.

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.

Boxing Day Wondergreens Greens are growing great and with the state of the GR, I am thinking of thinning them out tomorrow. Get the younger ones, one each per pot for brekkie salad. Tier 1: CR Leaves are deep green in colour, a slight contrast to the usual romaine that we have for salad from the markets. All looking healthy though. Another observation, the leaves are open. Tier 2: GR Observed some minor tip burns, but not too many to be of concern for aesthetics. Tier 3: RO The leaves are losing the reddishness. The pace of growth is slower than both the CR and GR. To take note of this when planning for sustainable supplies. Internet sources suggest that maturity is between 45 to 60 days. Tier 4: BH Growing well too. No burn tips. Judging from plant size (diameter and height), growth rate seems to be just a little slower compared to GR and CR. Data EC1200 - Nice! After adding the 10ml of ABC yesterday together with the 2L of water. Overnight mixing has resulted in a higher ...
