I transplanted some of the seedlings to just slightly larger containers. The Kale and the Cilantro seemed to be generating very deep roots- they were all bunched up in the bottoms of the cells. So I took some water bottles and cut off the tops, and sliced draining holes into the bottoms, and transplanted them in there. The surface is about the same size, but it's like twice as deep. I am hoping this will help them with their root growth. The Radicchio seemed like it needed more space, so I transplanted those to some plastic cups, again with the bottoms all cut up for drainage. I also have 1 Bok Choy. For some reason, only one of the 6 sprouted, and it's taking off.
Now I have to figure out how to rig up the other grow light for these new transplanted things. Eventually I'll get more shelves and the right hardware, but I'll prop up some bullshit in the meantime.
In place of the things I transplanted, I started 6 packs of Kale, Romaine Lettuce and more Bok Choy. The next round might be Spinach or Swiss Chard or Arugula.
Next, I need to get some more potting mix, and I'll start some Radishes and Peas and stuff like that.
