Day 7

Today is the one week mark on the plant growth. The radishes are doing exceptionally well. All four are about an inch tall. The one is about an inch and a half with half inch leaves. The spinach and spearment still haven’t shown anything, last post I said I thought about seeing something but there wasn’t. I planted new seeds in a paper towel and hope I can get them to sprout in that, and then transplant them into the system. The water was low again after two days, but I place the end of a pen cap on the water line causing the flow to cut back significantly, hoping this will cause the water to stay in longer. It did cut the amount of water in each tray, this is a good thing because the rockwool is still wet but is not over done. We tested the pH today, we were lucky and had it right on 7 without changing anything.
