Checking In

3/05/2012

Today we checked in on our system.  It looks like we survived the weekend and our water level really hasn’t changed.  Did not have much time today, but we decided to check our pH level of the solution in the system.  To our surprise, the pH was very low (dark red).  We could not make much sense of this other than some one has tried to sabotage our growth, or our fence post sleeve has caused the pH to lower.  Regardless, we added a few drops of pH up and retested.  Perfect.  We left class today with the pH around 6.0.  As you can tell from the picture below, the growth seems to be coming along nicely.  Everything is going well.  Hopefully we do not run into a pH problem next class.
