#61: Grow Pak Choy From Seed

2 seeds sprouted.

13 of 18 seeds sprouted.

Growing nicely.

Transplant each seedlings to individual pot.

Experiment with Jaya Soil + Larvie Frass to see if they perform as good as seedling mix.

Grow baby grow.

Go outdoor to get more sun.

Decide to do experiments on mild fertilization on the seedlings

• Larvie Frass
• Vermicast
• Small dosage of Humus Fertilizer
• Small dosage of Organic Fertilizer

Trying to give them more direct sunlight.

Seedling with Superior soil is not growing well, so need to add more vermicast and larvie frass.

Hang them at the garden railing to get the maximum sun possible (3.5h if lucky).

Transplant to bigger pot, I put two plant in a single pot.

Soil Mixture: Cocopeat (3), Larvie Frass (2) and Vermicompost (1). Added some rice husk ash, egg shell and perlite.

I use cocopeat instead of soil primarily to reduce to pot weight (vertical holding), and for better water retention as well.

Without full sun, I guess my Bok Choy shall remain pretty small.

Bok Choy probably need full sun to grow big and healthy, while my balcony only has 3 hours of morning sun.

The last 2 plants are smaller as they receive less sunlight, and aren't move into grow light at night (7 to 12pm). It seems grow light helps the plant to grow slightly bigger as well.

Harvest outer leaves of 12 Bok Choy, seems too little (just enough to be served with instant noodle).

Found an insect eating and shitting on my Bok Choy. Later I realize it might be a baby caterpillar.

For Bak Choy with less than 3h of direct sunlight per day, addition of grow light definitely helps.

Second harvest. This is as big as it gets (due to limited sunlight), and the plants start to dry up.
