Could Use Some Help With Chinese Celery
This is about 12 weeks of growing white and pink Chinese celery...
I do far more turf grass than I do vegetables but the few times I have I have had great success. Good Soil, good water, and good sun seems to do 90% of the heavy lifting there. This is the first time I've done indoor grow lights and opted for indoor growing on these as its already 100 degrees here in Idaho.
Black Gold Seedling Soil - sifted
About 20% Coconut Coir
Bottom watered about every 4-5 days
Soil temp 66 to 71 degrees
Air temp around 71 degrees
2x sunblaster LEDs at about 8 inches for 16hrs/day
I am behind transplanting them to a garden box for various reasons but given how slow these are growing I'd be very curious as to how I can improve my starting. Just as well I can't seem to find much information on up curling in the leaves and the occasional spot and dead leaves for what should be a healthy plant.
Just before watering today I let the water dry up in the bottom of the tray (about 8 days) as I am concerned that there has been too much water... but it is celery... so... not sure.
Some general guidance would be helpful if you have the time. Chinese celery seems to share a lot of similarities with western celery so even if you haven't grown the Chinese variety I would still be curious as to your thoughts.
TIA
