Mustard greens
We had such great success with lettuce, kale, swiss chard, and basil we decided to branch out. A friend of ours LOVES mustard greens, so we bought 4 seedlings of 3 different varieties. These have kept us on our toes, as their needs are higher than the other grows. Ups & downs of both pH & EC and more top-offs. We've been giving away sprigs of all the greens as they've grown, but now we're going to harvest the "Ruby Streaks". Here's a picture of the greens and their roots (which are a pink tinge, just like the plant). When you bite into a fresh sprig of it, the taste is similar to wasabi.

Having lived on Kauai we totally get your internet 'island-time' story. You'll be able to relate to bumperstickers they have @Chad Miner ... "Slow down, this ain't the mainland" and "The closer you get, the slower I go" Congrats on your new home.

Hello SOH Community. What does everyone wear to protect their eyes while working around their grow lights?

@Beth E thanks for this info!
?? Organic nutrients
We've had some people ask if the nutrients we 'feed' our plants is organic. From what we've read on the General Hydroponics website, it seems the answer is no, but it's not clear to us. Do you have a video/article that addresses this @Chad Miner
When to use Cali Magic
If you are using stripped/filtered soft, low to no EC water, then you should add a half dose of Cali Magic to your garden every time you top off. Questions? Comments?

Thanks Chad. We're only growing greens this far (we're in month 5 of our hydroponics adventure) and enjoying the learning & growth --- hahahaha, pun intended πŸ˜…
