Warm and Fuzzy
At the beginning of this project I figured it wouldn't be too hard to start my own hydroponic rig. I think I was mistaken.
What I did was hollow out a wine cork, put an already existing tomato plant in the cork, and then put the cork in the water filled wine bottle, with the roots down of course.
What I got was a stick covered in fuzz. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this does keep me progressing. Instead of waiting on this plant to see if it grew any I can start new.
Failure isn't always a bad thing.

Brendon, you are so right. Failure is part of learning and you definitely progressed a little bit today. Proud of you for trying. What will you do differently next time?
ReplyDeleteHey Brendon,
ReplyDeleteI guess now is the right time to think about what went right and what needs to b even better. Failure is not the final stage of a process.

I think the next rig needs more light. This too was my inverted rig. So the leaking water may have contributed.
ReplyDeleteI want to try a full scale hydroponic rig, including rubbermaid tubs and pvc. I'll see how that turns out
