While I've been away the onions appear to have grown quite well.

The biggest onion is 7 3/4" and they are getting 4l of water every week at a conductivity of 1.4
I'm surprised at how well they grow with no natural light whatsoever.

A bit boring but I have roots poring out of my 90l onion air pots.

A bit more interesting is my line up for this year. I'm going with four plants, which work wise is possibly too much but we will see. I will probably put in the 2819 early as pollinator plants.

Here's a bit of very good news in the as normal crap weather in February. The onions are doing well and the biggest is eleven and a half inch in circumference.

I've got some yellowing die back on some of the leaves and I think it's started from tipping. Some of its probably from the light and next season I will make the cabinet a metre higher. My second thought is water, probably lack of it. I've been putting on 4 litres once a week like Peter but I'm in much bigger pots so I'm increasing it to every 4 days to see if it improves.
All good fun.

The biggest is now 13.5 inches in circumference and they are growing at just over 1.5 inches a week.

I've made up a new watering can so that I can be more accurate with water placement. I don't want any water even close to the bulbs. It's a steep learning curve and I'm now going up to 4 litres every three days.

The onions are doing well for my first year back although I would like to know why I have some leaves yellowing. My goal is to get them to 32 inches or there about by the end of April. At the moment they average just over 16 inches circumference

Lesson learned. Make a better support for the leaves so that the bulbs stay straight. My thoughts on the leaf yellowing starts with a lack of humidity.
