Our system is flowing! Yesterday we got our hydroponics system up and running. After a little bit of frustration with a small leak, which was fixed with a little bit of silicon. Actually let me be honest a lot of silicon but it is now fixed and is not leaking. Just incase it does leak we have created a few small holes in the reservoir lid to allow for any of the water that has leaked to go back into the reservoir. Hopefully by the end of our spring break the seeds will have germinated and started growing. The pictures of the hydroponics system should be up within the day.

Just Getting Started
On February 26th we began to construct our hydroponics system. The hydroponic system that we chose was an Ebb and Flow system (Flood and Drain: in layman terms). We are using buckets to hold our water and nutrients with solo cups to hold our clay pellets and perlite with the gold wax beans in them. Hopefully in the next week the system will be up and running with pictures to come. Check back soon to see our progress!
