A ziptie glued to a ruler for measuring sprouts.
Well its been a good day on the farm^_^ ver 0.2 liked the new glue just fine hooked it up and up the water went. I did get a little worried when I saw that the water only got half way up the grow pods but some aquarium rocks displaced the water quite nicely and add some filtration to keep any peat from clogging my jets. I have the side cars(2 ltrs) hung off the frame plate with zipties and their E F/ drain lines glued into the juice bottle and drying. (I’ll give the pvc ver 1.0 to whoever guesses the scifi reference in the previous paragraph)
now as to why I need to get this little monster up and running see i started some seeds some in jiffy peat puffs and some in paper towels. The seed started in in the jiffy green house are labled the crop number(this is 1). a-f and 1 -12 . sprout transplanted from that first puff(I coulden’t kill all but 1 on each block so I just split them up and spaced them out)
2 came up on this one
As you can see these little guys are up and running now we gotta get the buggers into the pots.
now that lil drain hole just wont do so i poked holes around the bottom inch or so
.
I used a quarter of a coffee filter to line the bottom.
I added some rocks just a few layers.
then I started to to add in peat moss and more rocks.
now its time to put in the jiffy with c1.a1.1
a few more rocks but mostly peat.
a final layer of rock on top just for the look of the thing and a sharpie to label the pot.
Now repeat and split the basil and leeks up space the sprouts out a bit.
well I’m letting the glue dry and will work out the timing and timer in the morning.
Goodnight all don’t forget to guess at that scifi reference in the comments.
