Day – 1 for the First Seedlings.. 16th Sept 2012
The seeds were soaked on 8th Sept 2012 & put into the tray on 10th Sept 2012
I sowed tomatoes & eggplants in the same tray(same day – 8th sept 2012), tomatoes were germinated pretty fast, couldn’t see any real eggplants at this stage. Though some are trying to pop up their heads..
The medium used is just coir-pith(coco-peat), didn’t use any nutrients at this stage, just plain water.
These are bio-carve seeds, ordered online http://www.biocarve.com/ – Good germination rate.

Well this is how it looked when all the seedlings came out..including the eggplants..
Tomatoes look a little too leggy, thanks to lot of rains & no sun
for the past 1 week.. I did keep them under a CFL light for few hours
hoping that might be of any help but in vein, these little ones
desperately need some good sunlight..
Not given any nutrients at this stage, just tap water
_______
This is how they looked after 2 days.. got some sunlight as well. I made a small greenhouse for them, mainly to protect from birds who might wanna peck at them..
These seedlings were started with a quarter strength Dr. Howard Resh
stage 1 nutrient a day before.. I wasn’t quite sure how would they react
so i just gave 1/4 strength, though they recommend at least 1/2
strength.
I still see some leggy plants, i guess there’s still not enough sunlight, at least 3-4 hours of direct sun & few hours of bright light is what they need at this stage.

The seedlings are getting good light and half strength HR Stage 1. Though it still rains sometimes.
The 5th tomato seedling in the lower row is getting a yellow leave
which is bothering me a lot at this point. The medium might be too
damped all the time that could be the most likely cause. So i am gonna
let it dry a few times, hopefully that will help.

Seedlings have grown well in the last 1 week, with full strength HR Stage -1 they are doing just fine. Though not sure if the solution is still very strong for this stage.
The plant with one yellow leaf was corrected by drying the media between feeds, but now I’ve got two other such seedlings.
Anyways so far things are looking good…

The plants are growing well, but the two seedlings with yellow leaves are a little stunt, otherwise things looks pretty good..
The yellow ones are marked ..though yellowness looks so prominent in the picture.
The next step would be to transplant these or at least some of the bigger plants to bigger containers.
May be in the next post, this is getting very long with all the pictures..

Close up of the two yellow plants.
I wonder what it could be, all the plants are give the same amount of food and light, could that be
something wrong with the seeds, some genetic stuff..lets wait and watch.
