Day 5: October 19

There’s growth in basil! The baby mesclun lettuce still has yet to sprout, but this was expected due to its expected germination of five to fourteen days. There was also some sort of fungus on the side of the rock wool that our mesclun lettuce was in. Thought fungus occurred because the water level in the cup was too high and the light was creating fungus. So we raised the foam the cups sit in a bit higher. We also lowered our pH from about 8 back down to 6.5ish.

This is a picture of the fungus we found on the side of the rock wool in the mesclun lettuce.
