We had to delay our water test yesterday due to a problem with shipping of parts we expected to arrive. One of our plumbing manifold (connects solenoid valves to plumbing lines) connections cracked due to a heavy hand during tightening a fitting (my bad). Replacing the manifold is about a 5 minute job, getting one here, about a 3 day job apparently when a particular overnight shipper falls asleep at the switch.
Well the parts are now here but we have to delay testing until Monday due to ranch activities that will pull us away from the effort for a few days. Our initial start of the testing was positive but the "fix" we attempted on the cracked manifold fitting didn't work and the leak was getting to severe to continue. We assume that all will go well with the tests.
The gutters were installed and the all hydroton is now washed. Plants arrived and are in the walk-in-cooler awaiting planting next week. We will bring you final videos of us up in operation next week.
Practicing Hydroponics illustrates and documents the implementation of theory and products available to hydroponic gardeners through a "live" personal grow room. My approach to vegetable gardening in this environment came from research conducted on the internet; through reading books; and the knowledge gained though visits to local stores specializing in hydroponics. I happily share my mistakes and success in order to provide you with how I put theory into Practicing Hydroponics!
