Growing Scallion Cutting in a Hydroponic System
11/01/2024 - Growing Scallion Cutting in a Hydroponic System
I wanted to test the idea that you can grown scallion in a hydroponic water system, Wednesday I bought two bunches from a local store. I was please with the selection, because they were very healthy and well rooted.
Next I washed six or the smaller ones and cut the tops off about three inches from the bottom. I then inserted them in the insert basket and as one grower recommended surrounded the scallions with aluminum fold to shut the light to prevent algae from forming in the hydroponic system. After putting the prepared cuttings in the water system, left it to do its thing.
As I stated above, I started this test on Wednesday, and now it's Friday . From the picture below the scallions have adapted well and have growth between 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length.

I will post their progress once a week. I'm tickled pink at their progress in just two days.
