Hi all,
not sure if im posting in the right section, im new to this so i expect a few learning curves and lessons learned along the way...
i had a few bag seeds i found while clearing a draw out and wondered if they would sprout, so i found an old "grow your own" herb kit in the shed and used the compost or what ever it was ?!? and just through the seeds in a seedling tray..
i know people like to germinate them in wet towel and so on but i thought what the heck !
i put the tray in an small aquarium tank lying around and lined with baco foil lol, rigging up a small computer fan for some air movement, a day or 2 later all but 3 of the 12 had broke the surface, im using 2x 36w marinereefled tiles that used to be over my marine tank and did a good job supporting my corals.. so my theory being if my corals can photosynthesis then so can my plants ?
the soil ive used seems to be crap combined with small pots i think has stunted growth as im roughly a week and a half in and there quite small, i repotted earlier today with more of the same soil as i cant get to a garden centre for a week or so but at least the roots have more room to grow !
i do like to take pics and have attempted to put some on but failed so if anyone can advise me on how, i will upload some.
happy growing
