Walking into class today I expected to see no plants growing yet, however, to my surprise we had all four with plants growing. Due to the fact that we added mesclun seeds in with our bay mesclun, I feel that is the reason we have plants growing finally. The baby mesclun was not real successful in our hydroponic system and I predict the mesclun will show more progress over time. The pH level was normal and was not much of a concern at the moment. I did notice some of the nutrients settled on the bottom and I mixed it up a little in the container. If the nutrients are settled again next time I check, most likely I will mix a new nutrient solution again. The next step is to begin measuring the growth progress of our plants and they grow larger and document them. I am very happy with our progress over the last week after making the improvements to our system in order to get our plants growing.
