Sweaty GR leading to tip burns?

Before we get to the burn tip issue, I'm happy with the way things are going. The system is relatively easy to use and maintain. 10 mins (or less) is needed to do a quick scan via observation and for data recording.

Dewdrops or water droplets due to transpiration formed at the tips of some GR youger leaves in the early morning. Didn't dry it to observe what may happen.

Sequence as usual:

CR:

GR:

RO:

BH:

And I suspect that the BH species that came from Yash and BLH are different, judging from the leaves.

Yash's on the left, which seems to show more serrated like leaves, while BLH on the right, look more rounded.

Water level has depleted to near the minimum level.

So topped up with another 3L of water, and 5ml each of A, B and C.

This time around, 1 drop of pH down was added to each 1L of water, before the mix is poured into T1.

Data before adding 3L of nutrient mix:

EC1050

- Good range. Will check again after adding 3L of mix.

pH6.10

- remains in desired range.

WT30

- consistent with ambient temperature

YESH! My Yashponics Kit has arrived

The Eagle has Landed! And so here it is. Not exactly an eagle, but the Yashponic 4-tier black kit. After a short 4 days wait after placing the order for pre-existing stock, the box arrived yesterday, late evening. Time to be Bob the Builder Decided to start on the hardware set up today, since I am unsure how long it will take me. As shared in the videos put up by helpful Yashponics owners, it takes around 2.5 hours. The assembly videos are helpful. They gave me a good idea of how to start and the overall concept of the built. 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 ...

Batch 2 - Transplant Cycle 2

Transplant Cycle 2 Transplanted an assortment of GL and L211 mix that is about 7 days old. These came from seeding that was done on 9 May. Leftover sprouts. Tried to grow Chinese Kale via Kratky using the wicking method planter pots and two 20W E27 grow lights. A close up of the CK sprouts.
