Update: First plants growing!

Hello everyone,

I have been working hard on perfecting the water flow for the HydroLoft system. I have perfected it for the top, so I planted seeds. All of them have germinated (I checked), but only the wheat grass has sprouted.
I am also growing baby greens, broccoli, and peas. Hopefully, when I return on Monday, they will still be growing nicely. I have not yet planted seeds on the bottom level because it still needs to flow to a consistent level. Once that happens, I can plant seeds there and start to finalize the prototype for testing in the Tiger's Loft.

Thanks for reading,
Ben

What I've Been Working On

Hello all,

Sorry I haven't been writing recently. Everything has been really busy for me, but hopefully, I'll be able to keep up now.

I finally got the electronics to work. I figure out that the problem is that the battery didn't have enough power and that it needs a few extra volts to run through the timer. Now that it is working, I have planted seeds in the top tube. If I remember, next week I'll get a picture of it so far and write about it. Hopefully, they'll grow over the weekend and I'll have something to show for it.

Thanks for reading,
Ben
