Started these babies from seed on Oct. 16th....they would have been ready to pick but I didn't transplant them to their new water home in my makeshift grown room, under lights, until about 2 weeks ago and look at them now: lettuce, spinach, one kale plant (others didn't make it) ), Pak choi. Time to start more seeds. Love those lights!! #hookedonhydroponics!! Lettuce, spinach(in the back) and cilantro I just moved in there 3 days ago and it's taking off towards the lights. Pak choi Lonely Kale
I am liking the look of this, Hummer. Yeah, and the snazzy lighting is a bonus as well. You must be well chuffed.
Thanks sjoerd and philip!! I'm having fun and ordered more seeds..lol. it's a learning process. couldn't figure out why my Pak choi is taking so long to grow. Well upon inspection yesterday, I was drowning the roots. I think i should check the kale also..Hopefully I saved them and should take off now. Here are some pics i took yesterday before I turned the lights on.
I believe this week...I've been sick for the past month and want to enjoy these leaves with a great steak!! But I tell you what Sjoerd..no matter how sick I was...the shear joy of watching them grow was just like medicine to me!!
Wow just look at how healthy and green they are,..i know there is joy and satisfaction in eating what one grows,..i agree watching them grow is something special as well
Yeah meid, I know what you mean. Well, they say that there are certain garden and wild plants that have medicinal properties...but this sort of healing is on a whole other level--one that non-gardeners can't perceive, know what I mean. You are a true gardener. Say Hummer, why don't you post a piccy of your steak and leaves when you guys eat them.
Sjoerd...I will do just that!!! It will be Friday or Saturday Philip...thank you!! I look at them every day and talk to them for a sec...gotta get that second round going this wknd though...my other seeds should be here soon.
jHere is the weekly updated pics...just about out of nutrients...finally eating them tomorrow and yes with the steak..but boy look at what a week will do for ya!! The kale and Pak choi are finally on their way now that the roots are finally getting some air...lol..poor babies!!
UPDATE: 1/4/2017 From this...far right corner To this..this morn. Yes it is time to eat the lettuce again!! And the Chinese cabbage!! Look at this!! Still amazed growing out the side of the jug!!
UPDATE: 1/15/17 After near fatal root drowning and rearranging the light...they are looking quite awesome Pak Choi And the lonely kale and the other spinach plant are looking like mature plants!!
