Seeing that very body is saying how they will grow here goes.

Amended with Rock Phosphate, vulcanic rock dust, bone meal, gardeners gold dust, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, vitagrow fertilizer, cow manure, insect frass and malted barley. (I might have missed some things)

Watering:

Blumat system

Feeding:

Teas if necessary. Foliar feeds.

Lighting:

Fluence vyprx.

Ok so I planted the seeds into a small tray. Soil used is Freedom Farms Fine Gremination Mix. Thanks to @GreenGrow Garden Route

Seeds all sunk to the bottom. Planted about 1cm deep. Popped the tray into my humidity dome for some extra heat. Seeds may take a day or 2 longer to germinate as it is quite cold. Will get the heat mat going again this afternoon.

I would rather play it safe this round 4 months is a short time to grow from seed. Cannot loose a week on germination. 2 weeks for seedlings. 4 weeks veg. 10 weeks flower.

Yep. I think it’s 4 1/2 months. Was chatting to @Totemic when I went to drop off the strawberry, will be put to better use. That’s like straight 12/12

So I wonder if you don’t get to the finish line, you’ll just have to cut early I suppose

The grow will be judged on pics. So you can still finish your grow as I understand.

No this is Romaine lettuce. I try to start some every 2 weeks. They then get transplanted into my outdoor/greenouse grow bed. We quite like salads. I try to save money. And keep myself busy.

[CreX]

very cool... if you were closer i would have offered some of my cherry tomatoes that i grew on my balcony for your salads hehe

[SkunkPharm]

Here is my 3 again. Gave them a feed 2 days go. I made some compost tea with malted barley and some Epic. I am very impressed with the Freedom Farms Starter mix. Its only my second time that I have used it but love it.

yoh love the grow bed man!!! i have been eyeing these beds for a while now... but i think they may be too flimsy for my methods... which is why i use the large black totes instead. but its defs the way to grow!
