Batch#01 - 29 Dec - Day 20

Thirsty Thirsty Lettuces Day 20. Just added 2L of nutrient mix yesterday and just after one day, the water level has dropped to near the minimum level! A good issue since this is likely due to the accelerated growth rate! The sequences again: Cos/Romaines: Grand Rapids Red Oak and Butterheads! EC1126 pH6.83 - again the value crept up again; added 4 drops of down again. WT29  

Batch#01 - 28 Dec - Day 19

Growing Fast! Looks like after Day 16, the lettuces growth rate has accelerated! The sequence of each tiers. Cos / Romaine: Grand Rapids In spite of the harvest the day before, the lettuces continue to grow ad just grow! Red Oak: Butterheads: EC1146 pH6.85 -  Added 4 drops of down WT30 Water Level: has dropped to near minimum level. Actions: Added 2L and 10mL ABC, with a total of 6 drops of pH down. Added 2 drops per 700ml of water in a plastic.

Tier 2: GR Observed some minor tip burns, but not too many to be of concern for aesthetics. Tier 3: RO The leaves are losing the reddishness. The pace of growth is slower than both the CR and GR. To take note of this when planning for sustainable supplies. Internet sources suggest that maturity is between 45 to 60 days. Tier 4: BH Growing well too. No burn tips. Judging from plant size (diameter and height), growth rate seems to be just a little slower compared to GR and CR.    Data EC1200 - Nice! After adding the 10ml of ABC yesterday together with the 2L of water. Overnight mixing has resulted in a higher ...
