Days two and three.

On Monday, October 3rd, Bawndo Hydroponics looked over some of the materials acquired by Phil. The hole to hold the net cup was drilled in the lid of the bucket, and the stand for the system was completed.

 

On Wednesday, October 5th the drip system and water pump were tested and the hoses and appliances were fitted, the finishing touches on the stand were completed, and the preliminary bill of materials was submitted to the instructor of the course.

  1. Our goal was to have the container dark so light would not come in. If you look at our more recent posts with pictures you’ll see we ended up painting the container black. We were concerned that we would have the problem it sounds like you guys ran into with too much light killing the plant. So far we have not had algae issues but we did have a problem with our original pH level. We recently mixed up new solution so hopefully it will stay steady from here on out.

  2. Do you think that the fact that light is not coming in strong from your container being a solid color helps? With our system we noticed that the light coming in all around was killing our plants, however your system being it is white must allow some light in and it looks to be coming along nicely. Are you having any algae issues? Does the white container work well for keeping the solution clear and at a steady pH?
