Ok, what we got here is 6 clumping onions, courtesy of a nice person, 6 onion seeds, and 12 garlic cloves, they are set into cotton balls i teased out and fit into custom foam pucks i made by cutting a pool noodle in thin slices, then fit into the inserts in my little hydroponic starter kit, the cotton is gonna which the nutrient liquid up to the seeds, cloves and sets, stimulate root growth, and start the plants going, under my timer grow lights that are on 12 hours and off 12 hours, its a 4 gallon reservoir with nice dilute hydroponic nutrient i painstakingly measured for these kinds of alliums ^,.,^
