Great Job!
The NFT is looking great, and it's thanks to you!
Don't forget to check the EC (the blue wand) as well as pH (the drops), and to write it on the log
After you have finished with water testing you have some choices available to you:
scrub the holes
make labels for the plants by getting a white sticky label and copying the name from the seed packet
transplant seedlings to nursery if there are holes
ask if you can harvest
look to see if the seedlings need water (if you put your pinky in and your nail is covered in water, then there is already enough in the tray- let's not over water!)
arrange the plants so that the plants are next to the ones that look like them
ask if you can plant seeds or get the tray ready for another class
look through the seed catalogue and fill out an order form
check on the lettuce plants from the NFT that are in the ladybug hut. Do you they need water? Are there still aphids on the plants?
look to see if there are trays to scrub with a little hydrogen peroxide and a scrubby sponge
sweep under the NFT (or anywhere:)
Thanks for all your help!!
