Thursday, 19 September 2019 - Day 4

Thursday - Day Four.  I planted the seeds on Sunday afternoon.  I took off the cover and now the seeds are exposed to the grow light that is over the hydroponics.  I will have to get another grow light (one in the garage) and set it up over the experiment.  I don’t believe that the existing light is going to give sufficient coverage.
As you can see in the photo the radish seems to be coming along as well as the Swiss Chard has sprouts as well.  The sunflowers and spinach may take a few more days under the light before they come to life.
I am afraid that I may have drowned the sunflowers as they seem to be quite ‘deep’ in the water.

​As this is the first time I have tried this I am learning as I go along.  Hopefully it will work and the sprouts will get eaten.  They are supposed to be good on sandwiches, as a garnish and in smoothies. 

Not part of the experiment but I took two cuttings from an Impatiens plant and put them in hydroponic rock wool cubes along with some hydroponic solution to see if they will sprout roots and we will have impatiens in the house over the winter.  Possibly if these do sprout I will do a couple more cuttings.
