I have a habit of taking seeds out to the back yard and looking for a suitable pot. It is better than leaving them to die slowly in the package. In my NFT system, I planted lettuce, broccoli and okra. The okra sprouted and took off. It has been growing bigger and faster than any plant I ever grew. I'm using General Hydroponics MaxiGro. At 2 tbsps per gallon, it comes out a perfect 5.5 or 6 pH every time.
Here is the plant just a few minutes ago.
Below was taken on July 15.
Here is a look at the stem and flowers.
