Batch#01 - 10 Dec - Day 1

No sprouts. In all pots and tiers. Not exactly unexpected at all. Good to see that the leca balls are all moist after one whole day.

Water level remains steady at around half way mark. 

And pump works. The sound of the water jet on the top tier is audible enough to signal constant water flow. 

A picture of the final set up for Batch#01. 
From the top:
1. Cos or Romaine (BLH*) 
2. Grand Rapid: left (Yash) / right (BLH*) 
3. Red Oak (BLH*) 
4. Butterhead: left (Yash) / right (BLH*)

The whole process made all that easier, thanks to the numbered parts. And yes the whole kit is up and ready.  Easy to set up? My Verdict... With the videos provided by Yash, the numbered parts, it's totally a breeze to get the whole kit up. Took my time to unbox the parts, lay them out (in other words, you need some space for all these), and put them together.  Only boo-boo along the way is that I forgot to rinse all the parts as ...
