kohlrabi I've heard good things about this strain - Zamnesia Pink Rozay - and I'm curious to see whether my plant will also take on a slightly pink colour. The strain is indica-dominant and is said to have a fruity flavour.
With this grow circle, I want to use up the liquid fertiliser stocks I still have - ideally use all of them up before the start of summer. So this time I'm fertilising with the Greenbuzz line again. Luckily, all three seeds I planted germinated at exactly the same time - so I only have to make the same mixture once a day for all three plants.
For me, it works best to soak the seeds for 24 hours in distilled water with a few drops of humic acid and then germinate directly into a Root Riot Cube in the final pot. I'm not particularly good at repotting tender plants. And with this method, I can almost set the clock for the plants to poke their heads out of the soil after 4 days.
The soil is ‘Grow’ from Obi, the Light Mix. It mainly consists of coconut fibres. I have mixed approx. 20% pumice with it. I sprinkled ‘Living Organics’ around and into the growing cube to start the exchange of microorganisms with the roots.

kohlrabi Pink rozay – to my horror, there is almost nothing pink in my Lego collection. And certainly not wine. So I improvised, please bear with me...
All my plants saw the light of day (or at least the light of the grow box) on the same day (day 4). So far, everything is going perfectly according to plan!
The seedlings will receive 2ml ‘More Roots’, 5ml Growzyme and 5ml humic acid per litre in the first week, in line with the Greenbuzz cultivation scheme.
Unfortunately, I'm dealing with fungus gnats again. Nematodes are already on their way. I could slowly start my own breeding programme; that would probably be cheaper in the long run.
Speaking of making things cheaper: At least I've now set up a recycling system for soil. I produce organic waste ferment (bokashi), which I store for two weeks with the used soil from the last grow circle and then later add earthworms. In theory, it should be usable soil again after three months. I'm excited to see how it turns out.
Let's see which of my three varieties stretches the most – that one will be used for mainlining. Hopefully without too much stress for the plant this time.
@Patricia_Zamnesia, that would be nice! For me, the colour is not as important, but a friend recommended that strain for its taste, and I am curious to find out.
