First Harvest

Wanted to share my excitement with the first harvest (I think they still have a week to go, but wanted to test how it tastes as they age). Very happy (and surprised) with how healthy the roots appear. I was very meticulous about ensuring no light gets into the reservoir and didn't add anything to the water except for Masterblend formula. Kept pH 5.5-6 and EC around 700-750 ppm.

Started with a packet of some oak leaf lettuce seeds from a local store starting 4/wk. Built the system based on Simple Greens Hydroponics design. Currently building out a much larger one to allow for more adaptable spacings, modular grow sections, and combinations of NFT and DWC rails for more experimentation.

Love the community here and glad to be a part of it.
