Before leaving for spring break, we decided to put our plants into the nutrient solution. Our sprouts are big enough now for a change from water to nutrient solution. We also didn’t want to leave the system for a week, without being able to keep an eye on it, in fear of mold growth. So, we switched to the nutrient solution and checked the pH after doing so. Our pH read about 6, which is perfect for a weeks worth of no attendance. Also, to help stabilize our oH while we are gone, and for the rest of the project, we added a few clay pellets into our solution. Our temperature is remaining constant of around 72 degrees.
These were are two major changes that we did before leaving for break. We are excited to come back and see how much our Mesclun has grown over the week!
