Jun 18 – hydroponics progress

I’ve tried growing different kinds of plants on this hydroponics shelf

Kale EC: 1.8–3.0

Kale is extremely high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that has many important roles in the body. A single cup of raw kale actually contains more vitamin C than an orange.

^{芝麻菜 Arugula Rocket and Rocket Salad Lettuce}

^{Description: Arugula launches itself out of the ground quickly, hence its nickname, Rocket. Peppery sharp-flavored arugula (aka Rocket) provides a wonderful punch of piquant flavor to any green salad or a scrumptious contrast tossed with fresh sliced fruit or served under meat, chicken or fish just hot off the barbecue.Suitable for hydroponics. EC level 1500 μS/cm (young), 2000 μS/cm (mature)}

^{Germination time: 5-7 days.}

^{Harvest time: 30-40 days.}

^{Fertiliser: High nitrogen fertiliser to be applied after true leaves start to appear.}

^{Challenges / Tips: Cut tender young leaves. Older larger leaves usually taste too sharp. No serious pests problem.}

Bell pepper ec level 1400-1750

Cherry tomatoes

For the cherry tomatoes, the plant was repot from soil and it has thrived after that in nutrients water. Now it’s flowering, I don’t think the veggies AB solution works anymore. the needs for fruiting plants are different from the needs of leafy vegetables.
