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.
