  • selecting a lower-nitrogen bloom nutrient strategy for root development
  • monitoring early stem swelling
Problems encountered

The little radishes are all up now. No swelling at the base of the stem yet.

They will normally start swelling after their second or third set of true leaves - if they seemingly flop over from the weight of the leaves in the process, don't worry about it. They will correct themselves

I was shocked to discover three of these radishes up already -- two of them curled up under the domes trying to get out! This is going to be a fast, exciting project, I think!
