Semi hydroponic


This is the semi hydroponics as mentioned in my first post. The plant looks somewhat spindly but i trust it is doing well. The stem is bigger than a pencil and has lots of oddle placed newer lower growths on it. traditionally i have only seen growth happen on the climbing side of it all but i guess if you keep on taking cuttings off the top it forces new growths where the leaf stems butt against the stalk. Rather interesting.

this is the root system that has reached down towards the cup full of water. I did leave some holes in the cup at the top (so the water does not leak out and some oxygen can get in) i found that without the holes the plant water gets nasty and the roots do not migrate to the water.
So far everything is great.
I have been starting the hardening process on the tougher of the tomatoes, not risking the weaker ones. I will try to do those in a week or so when the temp is 60F for a great majority or late morning.
my indoor beans are already 4'tall and my indoor corn is looking pretty good when the hardening process begins for those i will probably put a few into larger containers for bigger plants and possibly earlier crop.
not much else to report today because it is raining and the plants have not realy made any changes. Until i actually plant i will not have much to report on them unless one of them dies or does something drastic.
