I have no idea where these will eventually go. But I will figure it out when they get big enough to transplant.
Two Veranda Red tomatoes, two Fairy Tale eggplants, and two sweet Gypsy Hybrid peppers. No nutes to start.
I lost the Harvest's water fill cover in the move, along with the bowl and deck of a Harvest 360, so I am improvising.

There are two Veranda Red tomatoes sprouting in one pod already!

Two Fairy Tale eggplants are up on the right; two Veranda Red tomatoes are up in the center; and one Gypsy hybrid pepper is up in the left rear. Another Gypsy is alive in the left front pod, but hasn't shown its face yet.

The Veranda Reds graduated to a Bounty. The eggplant will graduate tomorrow.
I added nutrients, so these should green up by tomorrow.

The veggies in the nursery do not look great. I suspect that maybe roots up in the deck from an earlier crop are blocking water flow to them. The pump is pumping water up the column, but only the barest trickle is coming through.
I moved one pepper to share a Bounty with the Gypsy Swirl. The other one (left) is still here.
The eggplants also look pale and are growing slowly.
I had intended to transplant them to a Bounty already. But I can't find a suitable place for that Bounty in my apartment. The other plant lights are blinding me already.
Sometime today I will transplant them -- even if the Bounty has to go on my dining table until I find a better spot for it.

These are small enough that you can remove them and lay them flat or place in a cup or something, remove the deck and take it apart to check for roots.
Also make sure it is level. If not that can affect they way the water flows. At least that is what happened to me and my gardens.

I transplanted the eggplants into a Bounty last night.
The only thing left to find a home for is a leggy Gypsy hybrid pepper that will grow way too tall for the Harvest.
I am considering planting it in coco coir and perlite and feeding it hydroponic nutrients, as coco coir does not support the growth of bugs or their eggs.
