Shane's Vegetable Farm

[Shane Karmann]

Comparison. Cutting rooted in plain promix on the left under a mix of sunlight and ac infinity. Cutting rooted in rails with nutes on the right under a Tomahawk. They both have tiny flowers forming. In both cases they go from dead limp to upright and perky in 48 hours.

Tomato monsters not long for this world. Got some nice fruit but not enough, way too much vegetation and it's hard to train indeterminates in the given space. Thinking of running those buckets outside this summer. The need refilling every couple days so it would be easier to keep up with them.

I have almost 30 cuttings from them, rooted, flowering.

Lettuce flowers after 40 days or so. This one got away from me and has 2 spikes.

That tomato is giant and healthy

But it should be covered in fruit now. A lot of flowers don't set because all the enegy goes to more and more leaves.

They need background nature sounds, remember what science bros' said?

Like the Master's tournament with the canned bird sounds.

You gave me an idea about those buckets and I can test your cold temp theory next winter. Pepper plants will be perfect in those buckets and won't turn into monsters.

16 months later still eating strawberries by the bowl full

Whoa a lot of veggies have been grown since I last updated here. I'm almost done resetting that whole tent. Had some lettuce on life support for 4 days while I cleaned. Making some new strawberry plants from the old ones, some of which are trying out life outside. It's been fun learning to grow them and wildly successful. Pups cut from runners root quickly in a shallow pan of water. Previously I've stuck them in rockwool plugs and stuffed them back into the system. That worked well too.
