In this week I kept the seed in a glass of water for 24 hours ( first 6 on the surface of the water, and the remaining on the bottom ( did not sink by ot self))
After this 48 hours in towel with plastic bag zip lock bag al in 70 % RH and 28 Degrees in the meter closet.
After that root of about 2.5 cm planted in rockwool cube and placed in the hydroponic farm. The water of the farm already had nutrients A and B plus some ACV to bring PH down to 6.
Initially I think I put the seeding to shallow in the rock wool so the root came out and did not have support and therefore grew on an angle. Later on supported it and curled the root ( the white part ) back into the rock wool to let it stand up straight. This worked and the embrionic leafs soon made place for the adult leaves.
Also the speed of growth seems slower than expected. Every 3 days A & B nutrition. We will decide end of this week if I transfer to earth pod or not since I would be there to take care of it for 3 weeks. Outside temperature are heating up to 37 degrees C and humidity is 70% so should be okay with daily watering but we will see..
This week (week 3) I will be leaving for 3 weeks. I have a choice to keep it in the hydroponic system and raise the lights to 29 cm or plant outside (Location Bangkok) with daily watering but no artificial lights.( full sun or shade planting?)
@ORGANOMAN thanks for the advice however we have someone who will keep an eye out for that kind of things. However, she is not very good at maintaining plants ( like @Med_in_Tropic mentioned) I still have to decide to move it outdoor in a pot or leave it in the hydrophobic system... Will is really growing that much in 3 weeks? Its 4 cm now and I can add another 20 cm. technically it di 2 cm in a week so it would be10 cm when I am back or do they have different growth spurts....?
Outdoors and full sun would be the most sensible option.
Leaving a hydro system running for 3 weeks without daily monitoring would be a dangerous situation, not for your plants, but the risk of electrical problems could result in a fire or other drastic threats to your residence, like flooding.
Too many chances for something to go wrong with a hydro system to be left unattended for 21 days. Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!
Hope this helps,...........
