Gardyn Update!

Most of my yCubes have sprouted, today was nutrient day, and I'm learning about rock wool cube sizing the fun way.

Things are definitely happening over here!

Most of my yCubes have sprouted, and it's been fun checking on them every day to see what's changed. Today was nutrient day, so I added the plant food and topped off the water.

I did have two cubes that still haven't sprouted, so I moved them over to the nursery to give them a little more time before I give up on them. That's gardening...not everything grows at the same pace.

One thing I've already learned (the hard way)...

If you're planning to start your own seeds, make sure you order the correct size rock wool cubes. Trust me...I've accidentally bought them too small and too big before.

These are the ones I recommend: Rock Wool Cubes

Now I'm just waiting to see who wins the race to become the first harvest!

Have you ever tried growing indoors, or are you more of an outdoor gardener?
