Great Job!

The NFT is looking great, and it's thanks to you!

ALWAYS

• Take a half vial of water and add 3 drops of pH indicator drops and match the color to the number. Record it. 

• Put the blue EC wand in the reservoir and record the flashing numbers

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!!
