Update

Hello everybody,

Recently, I've just been maintaining the plants. Next week, I will work on wrapping up my project and possibly passing it on to a student next year. Below are some pictures. On the left is HydroLoft and on the right is the Plant Tube.

Plant photos

Hello everyone,

The plants have been growing well, that's all that has changed from last class. Below are some pictures. The one on the left is broccoli from the Plant Tube and the one on the right is the Russian kale from the HydroLoft system.

Update: Plants are growing nicely, Plant Tube extended

Hey everyone,

I have had much success recently with the HydroLoft system and the Plant Tube.

This is the HydroLoft system as of May 10. It is growing some wheatgrass, Russian kale, and broccoli. This is a big win for us, and the electronics are working very well. We have attempted to power the battery with solar panels, but the grow light isn't enough, so it will only work when in actual full sunlight. This weekend, I will leave the battery to run for three days and see if it can keep the HydroLoft system working.
To the right is a picture of the Plant Tube. I have planted broccoli seeds and zucchini seeds. Hopefully, those will grow soon and become healthy plants.

Thanks for reading,
Ben
