Transferred the latest seedlings over to the hydroponic garden. Threw the first crop out! This crop looking much better. And in exciting news the gutters will finally arrive today!
We are trying out wool as a growing medium. Probably should have got the hang of things with traditional methods first, but then I am not a very traditional type of person.
Exciting progress today with our research. Pulse controller prototype created and working. Now to find out whether we can still grow plants as well or if it destroys the lights!
Had some issues with our water pump timer last night. Luckily I was being cautious and had stayed to check it went OK. In fact it didn't turn on and while I was standing there reading the instruction book, it randomly turned on but didn't stop after a minute! Just managed to pull the plug before it overflowed! Luckily hubby had a better brand in his gear so we tested that at 6am.
The light strips aren't sticking to the wooden bench as soon as they get warm. Have taped them up for now but that's the next challenge to solve.
Big day at Verb Farms. Covid may have slowed us down but it didn't stop us. We are officially crop farmers. Our first seeds planted today!
Thanks to all those who have supported us including Bluelab, Kete Kai, Pure Hydroponics, Franklin Hydroponics, Franklin Agritech and all our fundraiser supporters. We could not have done this without you.
