27 Jan - Harvest #1 White Crown Bok Choi

The very first fiest harvest of the White Crown Bok Choi. Trying out multi harvest and see where this leads.

A reasonably happy harvest. From 11 plants. Good for 2 pax. Stir fried with fish cakes as usual, though from the picture it would seems that the fish cake is the main actor instead of the green! 
Now the before and after.
EC kept to about an average of 1200 over the 3 weeks of growth. Busy with work, i was unable to monitor daily. So I just checked the EC every 4 to 5 days. Sometimes, it drops to 600+, and I will top it up with 40 or 50ml of A and B. That will bring the level back to abput 1300+. From this experience, I am more confident that for hobbyist, its OK not to maintain required EC all the time. That is a requirement though for farms, where a sustained process is necessary to ensure regular produce. 

In between the 4 to 5 days, I just made sure to.top up water, and this can be up to 3L every 2 days. 

The after look.

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.
