2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Have you shut your vents John

 

I'm using lights on timers, thermostatically controlled propogators on timers and a fan on a timer. (timers are £4 each at Wilkos)

 

A Maplin computer fan with a 12v DC supply will extract heat from my growbox to cool things down a bit, especially when then lights are on, but I'm also looking at connecting/switching/timing it to a 6v or 9v supply to slow it down a bit as and when when required,

I'm aiming to get the heat up overnight (when the lights are on Economy 7) and down during the day when they're off.

 

Are you pumping in CO2 Scrungee? Keith Foster does but I can't be inclined to go that far, if I get a naturally grown 2KG onion, I'll be a winner in my own eyes.

 

You smooth talker you

 

I have Kelsaes growing in my bedroom

 

Smashing

 

They'm up ?

 

13 days, and still nothing showing....

 

They be Freddy.

Only 5 days Didn't cover they, but I did water once.

 

Can't understand that Freddy, they're from the same batch I've had a good germination rate with!

 

Have you got a suitable mains to DC adaptor? (I used one from an old defunct mini portable TV for my extract fan)

 

Hiya Vince, no worries, it's probably something I'm doing wrong. I'll give them a few more days....
