First Post, I started planting again on friday 31st May 2013

This Blog is about my adventures in hydroponics... I am not really good at writing yet, but i shall attempt to make up for that with enough pictures.

I started planting again today...
Bought this from Canada about a year ago. It's a Rock wool seedling starter for 98 plants. Gordan is probably the world leader in rockwool substate for plants.

Its almost impossible to get it in Asia, the closest is probably Australia, which technically is not Asia. Well, Lets see how this goes,  Its not cheap, but i want to try it out as compared to whats available here. I like it because its less messy and i do not have to deal with expanded clay pebble, perlite and all that jazz.. maybe it will be possible to find a substitute.

I can only use this as there will be a surprise coming sometime soon in another update.

 According to instructions. I added water at a ph of 5.5.. Actually it shows that its ph4.8 here. I adjusted it finally to p.h 5.6. 

Well, i decided to start with all basil plants. As I think they are easy. . .

So there are 7 varieties that I have. With 7 rows.. I have 14 cubes of each variety. 
The seedling starter box comes in a nice green color and has a plastic lid as well to keep humidity in. 

Day 1
