Japanese basil (aochirimen) Soil-type hydroponics

Home garden recommendation (★★★)

Japanese basil subject Japanese basil genus
(Place of origin: China, Himalayas)

Suitable temperature for germination 22-25 ° C (photophilic seed)

Sunlight conditions About half a day is required

Suitable temperature for growth 23-28 ° C (preferably hot and humid)

Consecutive failure

Watering Favor wetness so that the soil does not dry out.

Fixing period When the stock grows (basic, no additional fertilization is OK)

Days from sowing to harvesting 52 days (no hydroponic air pump)

Crop yield 60 (with one tree) (no hydroponic air pump)

Growth considerations

The root is not dried because it is vulnerable to drying. (Draw straw etc.)
The roots and leaves work together, and when the roots are damaged,
the leaves are stiff and the quality is degraded.
Since flower buds are attached on short days,
If you want to harvest for a long time, it should be placed in a place where there is no light or light during the night
When the number of leaves reaches 10 or more, it is picked from the lower leaf
(If it is cut from the top, growth slows down)
If you want to grow a lot of side buds and harvest soft ones,
you can also cut the top of the side buds

What you want to try in the future.

I would like to compare the difference between growing in the shade and in the sun to harvest soft leaves
I want to compare the difference in the yield of hydroponic cultivation with an air pump.

Japanese basil which sells for 10 yen for 10 sheets in a supermarket!

But I don't need 10 when using it as a condiment,
I've always thought that I should use it as much as I can. ,

So
This time I will try to cultivate various Japanese basil. (^ ◇ ^)

First of all, from collecting information ('ω')

As a result of examination, Japanese basil is a vegetable that is not so much trouble,
and it is difficult to cause continuous cropping problems.
It was said that it would grow well in the shade (3-4 hours of sunshine).
However, since the roots and leaves are linked,
it was said that if the roots were damaged, the leaves could be stiff. (^ ◇ ^)
I thought it would be nice to grow in soil,
but this time I would like to see it grown in hydroponics.

Let's try sowing seeds.

Daiso (One Dollar shop) buys two 100 yen Japanese basil (aochirimen) seeds (/・ω・)/

Patter it on a plastic bottle hydroponic planter and lightly apply palm peat.

(Japanese basil (aochirimen) is a photoluminescent seed, so I applied palm peat so as not to block the light.)

I decided to grow it with a plastic bottle hydroponic device (> > Click here for details on how to make it ).

Seeding of Japanese basil (aochirimen) on May 15, 2016.

The average temperature in May was 20 ° C in Tokyo.
(The optimal temperature for germination of Japanese basil (aochirimen) is 22-25 ° C.)

Nine days after sowing seeds.

* If you don't germinate, put kitchen paper in a tapper etc.

It may be a good idea to plant seeds on them, spray them with water spray, cover them and let them germinate.

5 days after germination,

A lot of seeds have germinated (^ ◇ ^)

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

11 days later

Because there are 3 or 4 true leaves, only thin Japanese basil (aochirimen) is thinned out.

↓

Thinning, leaving only two.

I'm glad if you grow up well (^ ◇ ^)

17 days later

I'm going to transplant it into a big container because it feels small.

I have transplanted it into a large container,

I should have grown in a large container from the beginning. (;´･ω･)
