Hydroponics update

I had to take out a few non-performers. Buttercrunch did not work, probably due to me using tomato nutrient mix, when I should've used "lettuce mix". (  I'll get it right next time).
Certain tomato breeds started out good, but later all the leaves kinda curled up, but were still green. No idea why. They are clipped off at the base now. Gone.

The one tomato "breed" that exploded was the Red Robin. It's a giant, finally showing a few blooms. This plant is shading over the remaining plants in this tub.

Bok Choy (various spellings of this plant)... has been doing great (even on the tomato mix).  We've harvested leaves twice for meals, but these plants are still thriving.

Cukes are blooming like crazy, but I nearly let the nutrient level get too low. Refilled all three tubs today with about 8 gallons of nutrients mix.

I really need to get a few new seedlings started.



Okay, that's all folks.
