Planted some herb seeds in this kratky hydroponic container I 3d printed. We'll see if I get the basil, mint, and stuff out of it. It'll be close, but we'll see which plants are best suited.

Update: We got a couple sprouts! I'm using filtered water until I get some leaves, then I'll swap in the hydroponic solution to feed it. Didn't want to burn the sprouts by starting it too early

Sprouts getting bigger!

Sprouts got tall enough, I swapped the water out with hydroponic solution today. Let's see how they grow

Sprouts above the lip! 5 or 6 total. Every day I have to turn them since they lean toward the sun.

Beginnings of true leaves on the basil

Leggy basil sprouts leafing out a bit

Getting real leaves and more roots on the basil

Printed a little structure to support the little basils

Been a minute, hydroponic basil update!

Hydroponic basil update: recovering after "topping", it's getting bushy and it's got a couple of friends in a later staggered stage of seedling growth. The small mint plant is hanging in there too.

Topped this plant again to put in tonight's homemade pizza
