Update on seed giveaway.

So at this point I have harvested 20-30 tomatoes. I just tried the fermentation method of saving seeds and apparently my apartment is a bit to cold for the microbes to really take off and clean the seeds for me before they start to sprout. I am determined to  hold the give away on either this blog or www.urbanhydro.org.

First Fruit. Very excited.

The first one has arrived. Hopefully the other follow suit very quickly

Seed Give Away Soon!!!!

Look at those babies go. As promised I will be doing a seed give away when they are finished. And some might end up on Ebay.

More air = more growth in Deep Water Culture

So I upgraded to a larger air pump and I must say I am very pleased. It is a 600 gph or 35ish liter per minute diaphragm pump. I will include some photos of growth also. increase the ppm to 1000 and the PH is still about 6. 

 

Growth update nuber 4 is live.

Edema, I hate it.

Edema is caused mainly by high intake of water and low transpiration. That being said I have recently heard ( still looking for evidence) that a large amount of far red light can also make the condition worse. This is just a trimming to prevent further damage because it seemed to be worst with leaves that were closely over lapping and creating dead air pockets.
