Gypsy widow by exotic seed s , 5 seeds into root it cubes nothing put on top,then into tray , into propagator, with a small reptile mat underneath for warmth , put into a dark corner , with a black cover , I made sure the cubes were all damp with lukewarm tap water . Temperature is 25.4 C Germination requires 3 things , Warmth , Moisture and Darkness . Day 1 is today Tuesday 14/5/19 Friday - very disappointing that only one has sprouted , might not be running this at all 😟 Day 7 Monday 20/5/19 - one more has appeared

What have we learnt ? Plants can survive with just water , but it’s nit going to yield much at all

BDK, I admire your ambitious experiment. I agree with @Budofpray she will likely get hungry. On my last trip to St Augustine, Florida I bought a bottle of Fountain of Youth water, bottled at the source where Ponce de Leon declared it was magically restorative in the early 1500s. What’s your address? Best wishes for a good harvest!

@CRiSPrGrow,especially with the reptile mat underneath , keeps the temp and humidity up 👍

Sorry your plant died. She looked gorgeous. Great to see how far a seed can go on just tap water.

OMG i was looking for a water plant for my basin 🐸…. but I can not believe this result already….may be the clay Peebles are full of nutes ?? 🤣🤣 or may be your tap water is ☢️ 💫 😅

@BigDaddyK, my tap water measures 230ppm @ 6.8pH. pH the water down to 5.9 and one can easily grow out a plant just off the minerals in the water alone. Cool that you are doing it this way, curious to see the results!

So this is a kratky hydroponic grow with 0.4 EC tap water ? My tap is at 0.8 I usually dilute it with rain water before watering my plants. I wonder how far you could get along with that.

BigDaddyKcommented6 years ago
@goarilla,we shall see , it has no bubbler

0.4 ec for your tap water? that should be fine for a slow veg like this, nice experiment =)

I love this. It looks amazingly healthy for tap only. Hows the quality of your tap water?

That sucks, she looks like she really started to take off. F mother nature for taking her before her time!

Have you considered adding a bit of urine? I know, resources are scarce, climate change, and guys recently figured out how to use urine to make bricks...but in this case, I think it would make for a welcome nutritional supplement.
