Grow 2 Transplanted

We spent a few hours in the grow room yesterday installing the Nutramist machine and transplanting Grow 2 seedlings.  Parsley, Buttercrunch, Romaine, Yellow Peppers, Arugula, Leeks and Fennel were all put into the AeroFlo36.  Roma and Cherry Tomatoes, Basil and Grow 2 Leeks and Fennel were transplanted into the PowerGrower.  We now have the second HID light activated over the PowerGrower sporting a 1,000 watt SolarMax metal halide bulb.



Nutrient concentration was increased to 1160 ppm, with a pH reduction to 5.8 for the PowerGrower plants.  Previously we had these plants in the AeroFlo36 with nutrient levels around 780 ppm and pH at 6.2ish.  The plants were all big enough where full strength nutrients made sense.

Our C.A.P. Hum-1 humidity controller manages the humidification level in the room.  The Nutramist machine activates when the humidity drops below 40% and is deactivated when humidity levels reach 50%.
