Batch#01 - 28 Feb - Day 79 (Chinese Kale)

Germinating Chinese Kale
Using the Hydroponics to seed and germinate Chinese Kale from Nparks. Seeds are about 6 months old, although it's kept in the fridge at about 5 to 10C. Not the ideal temperature range of 2 to 4C. Expecting a lower germination rate. 

Seeded about 20 seeds. Actual seeding is on 27 Feb. 

These are meant for the soil based farming along the corridor. 

Thinning down the greens for wash down during March hols. 

Also to mention that we had our chili padi grown from sprouts donated by an unknown stranger. 
Our one and only that turned red. There are 2 more little green ones that we are waiting for.

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.
