Rion Greenhouse Officially In Production

It has been a little over a month (not every day), a lot of sweat equity and learning experiences.  We are live in the house !

We got the cracked manifold replaced and continued our water test.  We had a minor setback on two of manual control wires.  Rain Bird wires controlling the same valves were fine, manual switch wires had an open circuit.  Had to replace the wires, and we were back in business.

The Merlin Pro R.O. system has been working hard and produced all the R.O. water we needed to fill the production tanks today.  We added nutrients, tested pH, EC, and Temp.  We were ready to plant.

We got 26 strawberry plants in the ebb and flow (flood and drain) trays, and 6 blueberry plants (3 varieties) planted in one Monster Ebb and Gro system.

Tomorrow, Raspberry and Blackberry plants go in.  We will then video the production house for you to see.
