Eggplant 　(plastic bottle Hydroponics)

Natural eggplant is one of the most useful vegetables.

I want to grow eggplants in the kitchen garden. (^ ◇ ^)

Because cultivation information is important, I read the cultivation book.

What I understand is
Eggplant has continuous cropping disorder
Watering is important (additional fertilizer is also important when fruit is attached) Try not to tire the triple stand and stock.
It was to say.

Well, after worrying about (;´･ω･), I decided to grow it in a hydroponic cultivation system that doesn't worry about continuous cropping and watering.

First, sowing seeds

As usual, buy two 100 yen eggplant seeds at Daiso (One Dollar shop) (/ ・ ω ・) /

Plastic bottle hydroponic device (> > Click here for details on how to make it )

Put three seeds on and cover with soil. ( The eggplant was covered with soil because of the anaerobic seed. )

* It was written that the eggplant germination requires a temperature difference between day and night.

The sowing of eggplant started on May 15, 2016.

The average temperature in May was 20 ° C in Tokyo.
(The optimal temperature for eggplant germination is 25-30 ° C.)

By the way, it seems to grow well if you plant with the roots facing down.

9 days later

All three species have germinated. (^ ◇ ^)

* When growing in Otsuka House (OAT House), use 2000 times concentrated solution from germination to harvest.

After 12 days, it is growing smoothly.

After 20 days, all three seedlings grew well, so the other seedlings were hydroponic (air pump type) seedlings

I'm going to grow this one by hydroponics. (Transplant to a large container)

After 26 days, the transplant seems to have worked. (^ ◇ ^)

Growing steadily.

33 days later

Growing fast! (^ ◇ ^)

The moment when the plant grows quickly after going to the kitchen garden! (*^▽^*)

Oh! Oh! ? What? Is there anything on the leaves? (´･ω･｀)
