As of 1/12/2010 it has been six days since I prepared my first radish seed. My icicle radish has sprouted. I removed him from the tissue paper cone that passed through a saran wrap diaphragm. The seed was sprouted at the oculus centered in the diaphragm. The diaphragm was supported by an Asian pear Styrofoam net in a clear plastic cup. The growth solution in the cup consisted of one Walgreen’s multivitamin (crushed) in tap water such that the tissue cone wicked the solution to the seed.
The sprout which now looks like a tiny white carrot with three leaves in fetus position above it has been moved to a Styrofoam dish (white mushroom) with the remainder of the sprouting solution mixed down 3:1 with tap water after a days of evaporation three granules of Miracle Grow all purpose granular. The seedling is suspended perpendicular to the Styrofoam try by a single serving coffee hat (through the center hole). The hat will need to be raised as the radish grows. We have wooden coffee stirrers.
