just read a few post in OTF about home made culture medium. so decided to try out an experiment, modified the version given in one of the thread.
ingredients
1. 500ml coconut water + 500ml water
2. one banana
3. three medium size potato
4. 1 inch by 1 inch coconut sugar
5. 1/4 teaspoon 20:20:20 fertilizer
6. 1/2 tablespoon Azomite (source of trace minerals)
7. 1/4 pack of 260 gm agar
i put ingredient 1 to 4 in a high speed blender (2 Hp) for about i minute (hoping to get more nutrients in the flask by doing so), then cooked the solution for about 20 mins, added the fert and Azomite during the last minute and then the agar finally and stir till it dissolved. i did not sieve the solution as the high speed blender made everything into nice thick slurry solution.
had a doritis pulcherrima seed pod that is ready to harvest outside. will do the sowing tomorrow.
well, i am a first timer in this, just like to experiment with things. will keep posting about the progress. hopefully can see some germination.
will keep posting about the progress from time to time.
looking forward for any comments.
