Not entertained to satisfaction in the threads. Going to grow cat grass with soil less method. Old easy way. New improvement of a top layer of well amended soil or water soluble fert for improved vigor and durability against the cats. Just a test run. If cats like it? I'll grow cat size sand box full. Have to keep mine distracted. Greens are good to them.

I say hello sir. been watching your in and out. Figured something to do in reality there. Left you be. Hope well.

Here's my start on cat grass. Glad it is easy stuff. I need one of those inversion racks. All possible human stances and positions Suck right now.

Okay for any of interest. One reused deli meat container. hole cut out in center. One small root veg net bag. Cut bag to wider than container. Rinse seeds under neutral temp tap water> Add to mesh after seating it about an inch to two bellow top edge. Spread washed seeds. Fill container to just touching seeds if not using a heat mat. Till seeds float if you are. Place in indirect light of window or on a heat mat. Change water daily. 3-5 days and we can talk about fortifying and transplanting options.

After sitting here staring at the walls and decor. I think I will aerate the rye(cat grass) seeds. Avoid the daily water changes and increase health a bit. A box full of small pumps and goodies in storage. I'll post the set up when I can make noise again.

Wife said "Hell no!", on a full time air pump in living room. My big boy bubbling orchids for 24hrs/week drives her crazy already. Guess I just spritz with H2O2 when changing water, Damn I'm lazy.

Another post trying to find someone getting ready for outdoors.

But the cat grass after 24 hours and water change. We have germ and taps starting. And the cheap container keeps getting to around 80F on a 76F solid stale mat. ????? Bit too warm for them. Cooler crop. Grass.

Here's a sincere quetion. If I use a 1500W radiant oil filled radiator in a 6'x3'x6' with 2 40W LED's, what is the lowest actual temp I can safely start my early and cold veggies? Hoping to start peppers as well. But scared from past cold snaps. Thank you for any thoughts. And greenhouse will be on deck in full sun.

I wouldnt go under 55f ish. Im sure you would do fine if a little bit cooler but ill stick with that number. thats assuming you are starting them in containers and not the ground. They will grow like crazy at 60+

Maybe put it on the floor so its a bit cooler ?

What are you planning to do with this grass again ? Hey , i cant say anything, i literally got a serving dish with weeds from outside in it. soon it will be herbs , i think...

Here is a question for you @MICHI-CAN Does this orchid look ok and what is my goal while its not in flower ?

Thats the overall look of her. I cut the stem with the flower because it had a "rot" spot in it. Should i cut the stem off all the way?

The medium stays very dry i think. I flood her with water about every 10 days ish. It all runs through the bottom. (The spagmoss it came in is probably keeping it alive with moisture....im not sure.

Any tips or advice to give ? Thank you sir.

It looks better than most I see. Nice roots. 7-10 days is my water schedule depending on humidity. Just keep it out of direct light, ph 5.5-6.5 and fertilize under 200PM. I use a synthetic. Sucks but very good. MSU fertilizer. Only fert once per month. And add calcium and P when daylight starts to shorten. Better buds. LOL. Nice plants.

In ground raised bed. Was thinking 45. TY.

Cat grass is just a chew toy. I have addicts for my nip. Decided to grow some rye for a try. Makes healthy nasty beverages for us as well.

Well almost 36 hours on the grass. Moving. Moved my temp probe. Have 68 in water now. Cats ate almost the entire new cilantro plant. It may make it yet. LOL. Have coriander seeds in my pantry if not. And yes people. Coriander is cilantro. And in most kitchens now.

Peace and luck.

Nice. I just started a round of cat grass last week and my kitty is already feasting on it. Ironic how the saying is "like watching grass grow," but grass actually germinates and grows very fast compared to other plants...

Only under good conditions. Ever heard the corn grow on a summer night? It is a real thing.

Grow your cats plenty of greens. Better than any commercial food for them. And just massive weeds if you get it half right.

So do you put those sprouts in dirt or fertilize them at all? I'm thinking about using two 6" pots and alternating sowing seeds every other week (one sprouting under lights and one set out for eating, and whatever doesn't get eaten after a week I'll just mulch back into the dirt). Wondering if I will ever have to amend or top dress, I'm guessing nutrient use will be pretty minimal.

Thats great news! i been using up good real estate just to keep her in direct sunlight. i'll move her now. Thank you sir!

Im training the dog shit outta my cuban oregeno in the geode. Its getting cool looking. im gonna bend and pull and let her fill out then show her off....one or two weeks tops.

Half way into day 4. My high temps slowed me down . More movement since correcting yesterday. Be adding starter mix tomorrow until full soil conversion. I have some chewy oatmeal but mostly germinated seed.

I prefer some alcohol for tools. Some for me and wee wee wee! Clones are natures greatest gift to date.
