Deep Water Ebb-Flow System

Day 2 of CNY Double Harvest Harvested a colanderful of Red Oaks for brekkie.  Red Oaks tasted very earthy, hinting at end of life. Although no signs of bolting yet, perhaps at 60 plus days, these batch is almost at senior citizen phase. And lollas for lunch. Tasted a little earthy but young and tender. At 24 days young.  Balance of Red Oaks after harvest.  Lollas are definitely ready for harvest. Just waiting for the right meal opportunity to come along.  Feeling guilty (slightly) for missing 2 days of data in a row! 😅 So here's the lay of the land for today. Data shows OK EC but pH creeping up. Water level is at Min level. So some topping up in order.  Harvested  DATA EC1262 pH6.35 WT29 Water level: at Min level. So top up 4L of water, 10mL AB from BLH, moderated by 20 down

Still signs of yellowing and burn tips Reached out to FB hydroponics group and some suggested to increase the nitrate.  Data looks strange too. EC is still above 1200. Pen problem or EC of the whole system affected by earlier addition of CaNO3 and Epsom salt.  Recalled that I have been adding mainly AB lately. Inbalance caused by lack of C. However many mentioned that A and B is enough. 🤔 EC1488 pH5.90 WT29 Water level: just below mid level. Added 1L of water with 10mL AB, 20mL C

Spring Cleaning Time! Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and so out with the old and in with the new! Cleared all the remaining Cos and Butterheads, and seeded new pots of Cos using pelleted seeds! Transplanted some BH to individual pots, thereby thinning the overpopulated pots. Adjusted the pots to the one nearest to the water outlet free, for measurements and topping up of ABC. Thinned out the Lollas too, but kept a few healthier looking ones alone. Will thin again in a day or two once it is clearer which is the fittest. Topped up with 10ml AB and 2L of water. Why just AB? Cause the Lolla looks a little yellow. Suspect that it's short of Nitrogen. Rearranged the bottom Tier. to leave the BHs in a row, nearest to the front, and moved the basils and strawberry mints to the back, together with the GR microgreens. A side story. Seeded some wasabi mustard Microgreens from Bootle's Farm. DATA This time took readings fro Tier 1 and 4. Results are rather similar. EC1400 pH6....
