First Sprouts!

2/4/2021

 
Just three days after adding seeds to our our aquaponics system, we have our first sprouts! The salad greens have begun to grow!

Our current set-up is as follows: we have water from the turtle habitat actively circulating through the aquaponics system set on a timer. LED grow lights are hung overhead, and the water temperature in the turtle habitat is roughly 80 degrees, with the air temperature at a pretty constant 75 degrees. We've begun adding cuttings from our pothos and broadleaf thyme plants to the system in addition to heirloom tomato seeds, basil, and lettuce.

    My son LOVES these classes, so informative, hands on and fun!
