Day 1: 10/14/10

Today we planted the gem lettuce seeds. The planting medium we used was rockwool. Before we placed the seeds in the rockwool we rehydrated them in a wet paper towel; we also pre-soaked the rockwool in plain water. The rockwool and seeds were soaked and rehydrated for around a half hour while we set up our system. We then placed one seed per pod (10 pods total). Finally we mixed and added the nutrient solution to our system and started the water pump and the aerator.

  1. Be sure you provide more detail on some of these things. How long did you rehydrate the seeds? How long did you pre-soak rockwool? How many seedlings did you plant in each piece of rockwool? Etc.
