TODAYS LIVE POSTPONED
Hi friends, so sorry to have to do this, but it looks like I am going to have to postpone this weeks live. Today is moving day for me and my family, and right up until the last hour, I thought that I could squeeze it in. But once I realized that I'd packed my microphones already, bad audio is just not an option for me. I will be moving it to next Saturday. So, there will be 2 lives 2 weeks in a row coming up. I'll be back on to answer question and respond to posts a.s.a.p. Keep Growin' -Chad

Growth Update
We've started eating from the towers now and thought we'd show this wonderful SOH community the growth we've experienced in less than 3 weeks. Last night we picked a bag of greens and 30 minutes later went to a local gathering. We invited the people there to take a piece to taste. They were blown away by what completely organic and free of pesticides/herbicides fresh leafy greens taste like. They want more -- guess we'll be asking Santa 🎅🏻 for TG # 3. You'll notice in the photos we added the cage to TG 1 because the mustard greens are getting so big we'll need to support them next week. As we mentioned previously, we bought TG #2 (which included the complete TG Flex, a dolly, a cage, the light kit, and extension of 8 pots) from a FB Marketplace ad for $350. Tower 2 had only been used 6 months, but required some elbow grease due to nutrient salt build up and lack of use.

H2O2
When we add H2O2, are we doing 15ml. per gallon that is currently in the reservoir each time—meaning if my water is down a bit but I’m not topping off, and I think it has maybe 10 gallons then I’d add 150 ml.? Then 4-6 days later I add about that same amount or a little less?

@Beth E What is DLI? And, I was just wondering whether to add H2OH and my plants I'm growing longer than 12 days. I don't want any root rot and my water temp gets warm. Advise, @Chad Miner ??

@Beth E I definitely need to go back to school 😉🙃🙂--school of hydroponics, that is. I see Chad addresses the H2OH in class. Off to spend a couple hours there!

3 part nutrients for 2 part greens. What applications table do I use?
Ok so I have the Flora Series. Now I realize, after watching one of your (Chad's) videos that for leafy greens I don't need the Flora Bloom. Leafy greens can do just fine on 2 of the 3 part series, specifically Flora Grow and Flora Micro. So Chad what would my Basic Applications Table look like for my case? Do I follow the same ratios but eliminate FS Bloom and ignore the "Transition to Bloom" and "Blooming and Ripening " stages? I am growing indoors with the TG LEDs so there will be not fruits or flowers.. Should I buy some other nutrients if I am just going to grow leafy greens?

@Beth E I recommend going online and connect with seed savers exchange. I no longer save seeds because I'm strictly indoor growing to supplement my grocery cost and to refrain from processed foods. If local farms are not selling fresh produce, I want to grow fresh to extent possible. When I was in a home, I was able to have a root cellar and adequate freezer space.

When growing microgreens, the plants do not grow long enough to yield seeds.

Shoot, I wish I had tuned in earlier. Chad, you talk about growing in season and I know just what you mean. I'm 74 and from Michigan. My dad was the gardener and I loved gardening with him. He taught me so much. My folks had begun as children living on a farm, and they saved money by Dad growing food and our family going to farms that you-picks. Mom taught me to harvest for the root cellar and put up for winter, mainly canning and fermenting. Dad and I had an acreage on my Grandma's farm in central MI. I always had a garden after I grew up, although I grew more for flowers/landscape and had a dyeing garden as I was a textile artist. In 2017, my hubby wanted to move to WA where his Mom had lived. Out here in this beautiful state, I've learned about amazing microclimates next to each other-- and I learned I could garden year round out doors. So much fun. We moved to a larger city last year and are in an apt now so indoor gardening once again. Chad, your you tube and courses have taught me so much about hydroponic growing that I'm have so much fun and eating plenty of greens every day. Our farm market here is a walk from my place and one year round so I look forward to fruits and produce that I cannot grow easily...and winter squash --thank goodness, a fav of mine.

I grow microgreens hydroponically and also culinary mushrooms. I would like to grow ‘cut n cut again’ baby greens hydroponically.
No Outdoor garden.
