Not sure if they germinate without heatpad, but I gave it a try.
Have to wait for the rest of the lettuce to germinate before I can put them under the lights.

Cutting the bottle about 10-11cm from the top, make it fit perfectly when turned around and pushed in.
The hole on top of the bottle is also perfect for the coco peat units available at the shops to germinate the seeds.
Have about 8 bottles saved, started to make them ready for putting them inside the 2 level IKEA Växer units with 16W lamp on each level.
I can put i in each level during germination, but it won't be good for more than 4 or maybe 5 heads when they grow bigger.
2 units will provide all the lettuce I consume and will easily replace with new seedlings as I eat them.
Total material cost, 50 euro cent, plus electricity. It will light up the living room so I don't need to have lights on all the time.
Will post more info about the fertilizer and the setting of it later.

We love you so much, Shatzi. We'll keep fighting like hell in your honor. ❤️
One of the strong opponents of Apartheid regime of Israel has left us.
May her memory become an inspiration for your people to follow her example and raise the flag of justice, humanity and respect that she carried proudly for decades.
I had to lower the temperature, because it's too warm. Hope to get another batch of lettuce for hydroponics setting I have by the window. The last batch didn't work and I need at least 16 plants to have continuous access to greens all winter!

Wanted to buy some #vermiculite for mix with perlite and coco peats to set up hydroponic unit for next year and put it aside because of the high price and shipping costs.
Found a 100L unit on the french site LebonCoin.fr for 25 euro including shipping.
Everything is ready for the Dutch bucket system for tomatoes, cucumbers and melons next year.

The aroma is just amazingm. 3 types of #Basil, #parsley, #chives, #dill, #spinach and #radish leaves.
Going to make a paste of it like my mother used to do l, similar to #Pesto, but with peppers and garlic added since these basils are different than the Italian ones used in Pesto.
Then some baking to eat fresh bread with the paste and Bulgarian feta cheese!
