The seedlings included romaine lettuce, cabbage, chive, parsley and thyme. Decided to go with some regular crops since this was the first trial.
So far growth has been ok I think, considering i'm a novice grower. I have a few spots in the system remaining so I will probably add regular lettuce.
After week 1 the nutrient solution/water mix depleted to about half in the bucket. So there was alot of evaporation taking place. I refreshed the system at that point adding new nutrient solution to water mixture. I'm not certain if it was required to replaced the water or just top up. But I figured since I would probably have a hard time knowing how much nutrient solution to add, I should just mix a fresh batch. Thoughts?
So far i've lost one pot with thyme. Looks like it's on the way out. One lettuce looks the same. Other than that two cabbages suffered caterpillar attacks (diamond back moth I think). Noticed it one evening when I was trying to figure out what the holes in the leaves were about. When I flipped the leaf over I saw the culprit (should have taken a pic). I manually removed them and washed the plants out ensuring they were bug free. Will see how they recover.
Will post more updates as time goes by.
