Nearly a month…
…since my last hydroponics post. Its funny… when I see it every day I don’t even notice a change, but when I look on here its amazing how much changes.
OK. A lot has gone down since March.
- A coworker of Jenn’s had a hydro lamp lying around, and he must have a heart of gold because he saw fit to let us use it. I don’t have it hanging that well yet (our ceiling is made of solid metal), but I am working on a solution.
- The morning glory started to get a little grabby, so I nixed it.
- The basil are growing like weeds. They smell great, but they grew really tall and started reaching so they tipped over. I need to do a little research (call my uncle) to see what I should do about them.
- The squash is going nuts and starting to crowd out everything else. You can see it is flowering, no signs yet of any fruiting though.
- The radishes are doing well… I should probably go ahead and eat them and plant more.
- None of the lettuce did well. It got really wilty (as if it was getting too much water) and never could quite stand up. I don’t know if it was too hot, too bright, or too moist… but the lettuce vetoed my system.
So thats the gist. A bit of a mess, but everything is doing well for the most part.
