Grow Rack v2
Rebuilt for greens, herbs, veggies, and propagating

Growrack v2

First real attempt.

Power Stats:

Initial Self Runs

Planted greens in 3601 inserts inside 1020 trays…initially microgreens then shifted to allowing baby greens to grow and practicing “cut and come back.”

Greens were slow to grow at first but once cut would return in 4-7 days. Plant needed to be pulled around 4-5th cut, and was usually too “leggy” by 2nd. Watering 30m before cutting avoided bitter flavor.

Second Shelf

Added second shelf of 3601’s, replacing the 17w fixture with a second 30w 0shop light. At roughly 12” got great growth from bok choy, microgreens, and baby greens. Planted beets to see what happens.

Initial Tent runs

Began by “jump starting” some pothos and other houseplants that were propogating in water and “rejuvenating” some almost-dead overwintered plants from 2019

Herbs

Added packed 3601 herb tray and had great results. Presence of ladybug begins…both a good sign (aphid patrol) and a bad sign (aphids)

Weight

Averaged 1oz / 3 cells x 36 cells per 10”x20” tray
