what's wrong with my Garlic ?

last modified: 10 years ago

I decided to grow garlic indoors and out .... to cut my loses :-)
I planted the garlic into 3 containers, 2 pots and an "earth box".

I used 5 parts soil 1 part coarse sand, mixed in plant food. Water only when the soil measured dry with a moisture probe.

All the pots have great drainage.


The 2 pots were placed at windows that get sun, but not direct sun.

The earth box is under 2 T5 grow lamps in the basement. The T5's are on a timer to give 12 hours of sunlight time.


The garlic sprouted well, but has been turning yellow and wilting.


The weather here in Virginia has warmed up so I moved them pots outside. But colder weather will be coming .... and I don't know what is happening :-(


A pic of the garlic in the Earth Box, the garlic on the far left is elephant garlic, the rest is softneck.

Here is where I have the Earth box under T5 grow lights.

Crappy pic of the pots from that were in windows inside.
