Day 8 Going GREEN

Sprouting
Sprouting

Today we checked on our hydroponic system after redoing the whole thing from last class. To our surprise, our seeds that we had planted last class had grown. They not only sprouted, but they had grown an amazing amount, considering that we did not germinated the seeds before hand. Each cup showed great results! We were very happy with the system and the pH level seemed to have stayed at a consistent level of 6pH. We added just a little water to the system, taking into account that we would need extra for the time over the weekend. Our lettuce is looking very healthy and it seems that starting over was the right road to take. We figured that in a weeks time, the plants should be about the size that our original ones were because of the early signs of growth that we are seeing. We are very excited to see what the next couple of weeks will bring to our system.
