Experiments of hydroponically growing Admiral pea shoots

Admiral peas bred by Agronomy Seed Farm (ASF) of NDSU Agriculture and Extension in Casselton, ND were used in our hydroponic experiments.

The seeds were washed and socked in warm water for 5 hours.

The seeds were kept in dark for the germination. It's sprayed using room temperature water twice a day.

When seeds growing sprouts and long roots, they were moved under light for quick growing. After about two weeks, the pea shoots were ready for 1st harvesting. It may be harvested for second time.
