Batch 2 - Full Transplant

Batch 2 - Full Transplanting

Finally done! 6 days after seeding. Perhaps could have waited a little more for the roots of the sprouts to get longer.. But impatience got the better of me!

While moving the sprouts to the noodle, I realized that I can push the pool noodle deeper into the pots, therefore ensuring that the roots can at least reach the water level.

Water level is at max level.

Also added a total of 40ml A and B, from BLH. EC shows 380. Will up that tomorrow to 800. pH 7.06, neutral. 

It's actually quite easy to transplant the sprout into the pool noodle. Just a little time consuming due to the fragility of the babes.

Single sprout per pot are those I deemed most likely to survive the transplant based on the length of the roots and healthiness of sprouts.

Those with 2 sprouts are those where one is likely not to survive due to short roots.

Order of the lettuces from top to bottom, T1 to T4 are:
T1: Grand Rapids
T2: Red Oaks
T3: Butterheads
T4: Lettuce 211

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.
