Tower 1 and 2 updates from Wednesday 9-27-17

Today our pH on tower 1 was 6.0  And our pH on tower 2 was 8.0 it was a little high so we put in pH minus so we can get that to go down. We also harvest for the second time already! We almost had 2 pounds of lettuce!

Tower 1 updates!

When we went to go check up on tower 1 and 2 we notice that the pH on tower 1 was a little higher it was 7.0! We also notice that on Wednesday we need to harvest again! It hasn't even been a week since our last one! With all this growing our plants are using a lot of water, we also had to add 3 gallons. We also added 60 mL of A and B fertilizers. The picture on the top is one our the bokchoy and this is what happen if the plant gets to close to the light!

tower #2

tower #2 is growing great a few plants haven't started sprouting yet but the bib lettuce we thinned out because there were to many seeds planted when we planted it and the rainbow chard already is getting its purple started.
