Hydroponic grow experiment #1





Dec. 26, 2009

The lettuce in the turbogarden are really filling out. They are almost ready to pick. I think next time I will try other taller plants with the lettuce, to give them more room. I'm getting ready to switch things around a bit.
Here are the nutrient levels and ph in each system:
-Turbogarden 500ppm and 6.1 ph
-Ecogrower 450ppm and 6.2 ph
-Cocogrower #1 (Chadwick cherry) 600ppm and 6.0 ph
#2 (Brandywine) 330ppm and 6.0 ph
-The turbogarden runs 24/7 misting plant roots.
-The Ecogrower runs 24/7 dripping water over the top of the plants.
-The Cocogrowers run while the lights are on and off when the lights are off. I have added an airstone in every systems reservoir that runs 24/7 for the roots.

  1. I have enjoyed eating the delicious varieties of lettuce and dill. Without a doubt, this produce is the tastiest and freshest that I have ever eaten. Thank you so much! Pure organic food is so good for me and such a pleasure to prepare. No dirty leaves.

  2. There's nothing like fresh veggies. Especially when they are home grown!
