Zucchini Transplanted

The zucchini plants we placed in the AeroFlo36 have 4-6 big leaves on each plant and a nice healthy root base so we planted two in each of the PowerGrower and Ebb n Gro systems.  pH balanced R.O. water was used to "top off" each of the grow systems.

The zucchini was planted in the systems using Hydroton as a base medium.  We have come to really like this "days gone by" product in lieu of the newer ones based upon our grow room experiments.  We have placed a Hortinet (basically a plastic 4x4 net) over the cucumber and Roma plants on the Ebb n Gro system as they are getting larger and require constant support.

Grow Room Video Update

We posted some photos of the peppers, eggplant, and zucchini today but also wanted to give you the broad view of the grow room.



We are ready to fill out our PowerGrower and the remaining two spots on our Ebb and Gro system with the Jalapeno peppers and Zucchini we just transferred to the AeroFlo36 system.

Changed the water and refreshed the nutrients on both PowerGrower and Ebb n Gro systems today. Taking out the Cherry Tomato plants was bittersweet but we had eaten so many that I felt it was time to move on. We did clone the plants and also started another from seed so it won't be long before we have more.

Holy Eggplants Batman

This is our first attempt at growing white eggplant and all I can say is, WOW !  These things are getting huge in a very short time.  We can't wait to see some flowers.

There is another white eggplant in this picture (about 11 o'clock) that is equally as large. 

We eat eggplant a lot in Italian recipes we make and are looking forward to seeing how this white variety does.  The fruits are round like softballs on steroids versus the elongated pear shaped purple variety.

These plants are in our Ebb and Gro system which we recently expanded due to its success in our grow room.
