Day 4: Seedling Update

It's day 4 of my indoor gardening project and the lettuce is starting to poke up above the Rockwool now.  I can see that some of the Roma tomatoes are sprouting, but they aren't making any above ground appearances yet. 



I also started a new pot, Elephant Garlic.  Following some simple instructions I found online, I broke up a store bought garlic bulb into the individual cloves, then planted them in some potting soil.  I watered the cloves with some of the same nutrient solution I used on the seeds in the tray.  The pot of garlic is now also under the light bank for 18hrs a day.  So, we will see what happens.  Garlic is our favorite, and I love the spice of the Elephant variety, so I'm hoping I can start producing our own!
