Now that the system is complete and a test run revealed no water leaks (thank God!) I added the appropriate amount of nutrients, adjusted the PH and enlisted my girls to help me do some planting!
Planting is the best part of all of this, because I can finally see my hard work and designs actually getting put into play.
After the grow stones were added, and the airstones daisy-chained together, it was time to add plants at last!
Everything is running well!
We created a little map of all our plantings just so we can tell them apart.
The lettuce, garlic, strawberries and seedling tray are all hanging on the workbench under another inexpensive fluorescent light bank I pick up secondhand.
I expect to update the status of the plants in the new NFT system very soon.
