I never seen a vegetable like a radish to only grow 20-30 days on a seed packet, I was like wow today when I saw that at Home Depot. Usually the harvest is usually 60+ days I see on a seed packet. I was like dang I was missing out on growing radishes my whole going on to 29 years! I bought them and planted them in 4 plastic solo cups tonight! I can’t wait to see the end results! I might just make a hobby into just growing only different types of radishes for now on than trying to grow anything else under a led grow light!
This is interesting to watch, especially in comparison to my own radish because mine took a week to germinate, but it started forming a bulb already before they had their first true leaves. And yours germinated within a day and didn't form a bulb until it was already pretty big
This looks so satisfying! Thanks for recording this plant's amazing journey. What grow lights did you use? I mean how many lumens and what color temperature did you use?
I use the LED lights that come with the photography lightbox. I am not sure about color temperature. Probably ~5000+ lumens because it is white not yellow.
@@rapidlapse oh really that’s great to here. We moved to a new house that is super strict about growing stuff and about have gardens and even greenhouses. So I have to grow a lot of stuff indoors but it’s hard to find a good spot. But they do let you raised garden beds but ofc I need a permit in order to get one and I asked my parents about it and they said I would have to wait until late summer which is a bummer but at least I will get one soon. If the HOA is ok with it.
Когда редиска начала вытягиваться, нужно было подсыпать земли до розетки листьев. Изначально не нужно землю до самого верха ёмкости, чтобы была возможность добавить. И поливать каждый день или даже 2 раза в день.
Both before and after. I use Osmocote pellets and I add it on the surface of the soil periodically. The pellets last for 6 months as they slowly decompose into fertilizers.
Did you use gopro to make this video? I also try to make plant timelapse by using gopro. But it seems like out of focus. Can you give me any suggestions?
True. The container was on the small side and could not hold much water, plus the continuous light and warmth dried the soil quickly. We tried our best and the end result came out fine :)
@@rapidlapse Yep, the end result was impressive. This experiment was educational on the importance of keeping the soil watered for faster bulb growth. This gives me an idea to try something similar with indoor growing and timelapse cam.
To sprout faster, put the seeds in between two sheets of paper towel and soak the paper towel with water. Keep adding water on the paper towel every few hours so it doesn’t dry. I usually fold it and seal it in a ziplock bag so that way the water doesn’t evaporate and I don’t have to worry about adding water. This will give you fastest germination time. Once seed germinates transfer to soil. Good luck!
The soil used in this video is from store so it already has fertilizers mixed which works for up to 6 months of growing small plants. I didn’t have to add extra.
I felt really sorry for the radish! For awhile there it was being really dehydrated, only just enough water to keep it alive but the leaves were wilting each day, and you could see the soil was still dry in the corners, it wasn't enough water in the pot to wet it completely, but just barely keep it alive. 🥵
Most of the time it is due to over watering, the soil is cold and wet and maybe even starting the root to decay. Move the plant in sun, don’t use plastic closed container where excess water stagnates at bottom with no way to exit. Use terracotta clay pots instead.
Some people have suggested continuous exposure to light makes plants grow more leaves faster. That’s why hydroponics farming is suitable for leafy vegetables like lettuce; they grow quick in presence of constant light source. For other plants I don’t think it matters.
I keep it on at all times 24x7 :) It’s not required. You can follow 16-8 (16 hr on, 8 hr off) too. I kept it on because I was filming every minute of its growth.
The day counter in this particular video started after the seed sprout. It took a few days for seed to sprout which is cut off in this video. Hope that clarifies :)
