DWC Growth Log -- Week of 6/9 -- The First Harvest

The fourth week running this system. It looks as if my nutrient troubles I encountered the previous week have started to remedy themselves. Also at the beginning of this week, the plants are big enough to start harvesting. I plan on cloning the basil plants en-mass to replace other plants in this system as I go.

Turtle Unification

This turtle sandbox I got for my foundry molding sand a few years ago has been awfully convenient.  The only problem was it didn't come with the lid, so we had problems with the sand getting completely soaked whenever it rained.  The blue tarp didn't help much in terms of waterproofing, so eventually we decided to keep it inside.

Growing plants for a Cat -- Cat Grass - part 1

I had a great idea when I was browsing the seed aisle. Now that I live with a cat, I thought it would be a good idea to try growing it some treats. Similar to how I grew microgreens for a bearded dragon.

DWC Growth Log -- Week of 5/26

The second full week of growth.
May 26
At the beginning of this week, the reservoir needed to be topped up, so some additional nutrients and water were added. One of the bok choy plants was replaced due to poor performance.
