Hi there. Asking a silly question, but I recently bought a few kohlrabi bulbs about 2 inches in diameter, and each has the nub where the main root used to be. They're in the fridge right now, but I'm planning to bring them up to room temperature, take a very thin slice off at the root nub, and stick the bottoms in water while resting on the top of a suitable bottle. I'll change the water daily, but will this method encourage rooting? Would it help to add a little rooting compound powder to the water each time? What kind of soil do I need to grow them once they've rooted? Acidic? Alkaline? Well draining? I'm hopeful for growth, as there are new leaf stalks forming on the top of each bulb.
Thanks for the question - this is a little out of our expertise area since we haven't done this before. We have grown kholrabi from seed and we've done it in the coco coir/vermeculite mix. Would you let us know how it works out for you? We may give it try the next time we have a kholrabi :)

Looking good! 🙂
What ratio of vermiculite/coir do you use. I’m wanting to try and grow some indoors this year
About 70% coco coir and 30% vermiculite - give or take :) Good luck!

What was the approximate seed-to-harvest time? I just ordered some seeds to give this a try. 🙂
So glad to hear that! 95 days from seed to harvest 😁
how much more is your kilowatts usage with all the lights?
The 33" 2.0 light draws about 48 watts. The PRO light draws around 90 watts. Please feel free to reach out to Happy Leaf LED with any questions :)
