Byee bak chois

My results are out and i got a C for agrotechnology which happens to be my fave subject. Hmpf. My pakchois aint growin, they are still short and dumb. Threw everything away today. Bye.

the Demise of the Lemon balm

I know that its hard but we cannot deny death. Their deaths were inevitable, it was hard but i was in an untenable position where i constantly trys to present a scenario that is goin to lead to life. At this point of time, there is no doubt that i had incorporate a notion of failure in my tone. They had not died with much dignity instead, they had quite an ugly death. Their insides have ruptured and green juices filled the cube of sponge. (Well, either that or some kinda algae growing.) Today, this page will be solemnly dedicated to the young lemon balms and may their more fortunate counterparts (the pakchois) grow well.

My pakchoi is growing quite well but kinda weak. Notice my finger, it have to be there to prop it up. Hahahaa

But see my pathetic lemon balm. They aint suitable for hydroponics, i grew 4 but 2 died. This is one of the survivor.

Grow grow grow!

hahaa they have started growing again. This is like a cycle, growth, stop, growth and stop again. Im getting bored of watching them, changing the water, adding the nutrients, or perhaps i should just let them die and grow some tau gaes instead. They can be harvested much faster. =(

the seedlings have once again stop growing..

Now i have really no idea what is limiting its growth. The water have been change and the nutrient concentration lowered. When can i eat my pak chois?? As im changing the water, i have notice weird stuff in the water. Black particles, leaves (not from the pak choi) and bodies of dead insects. Perhaps due to the hot weather, the insects are either hot or thirsty and decided to make a nose-dive into it. Of course, they drown. Or maybe the nutrient solution to them are something like pink dolphin to us. Full of vitamins and minerals.


Leave my Pakchois alone!!

They are growing!!

Their height remains unchange but the leaf no. have increase!! They do grow fast in nutrient solution, one of them have 4 leaves but average only 3. Im sure im going to have pakchois for dinner in no time!

Ohh no.. after n days..

The seedlings growth have officially came to an halt. They do not look like pak choi to me in anyway, more like tau gey perhaps. But ZZ say it might be due to the high concentration of the nutrient solution where the plants are not able to take up the nutrient. Quite true, the water have evaporated really fast because of the hot weather. I have added more water to it, hope it helps. We shall see..
