Maintenance on the Grow Towers for 9/19/17

Paige and I were the only two here today in class and we had a lot to do.  For maintenance we checked the water level of both towers and determined that we needed to add water to Grow Tower #1 (GT1).  With the plants getting a lot bigger, it is starting to use a lot more water.  We we add water, we have to add fertilizer to the GT's.  We also checked the pH in both towers.  All of our number for today are listed below.

GT1:  Added 3 gallons of water
GT1:  Added 60 ml of Fertilizer A and 60 ml of Fertilizer B
GT1:  pH level was 6.0 so we made no adjustments at this time
GT2:  pH level was 7.5 so we made no adjustments at this time
GT2:  Most (but not all) of the seeds we planted last week have sprouted.  No strawberries have sprouted yet.

Today was our first Harvest Day.  Paige's post will be sharing about that.
