Today we tended to our systems in the hydro room. We also went over the updated marks and talked about the interim reports. We also replanted a few seeds and tried to problem solve some systems whose plants are not thriving.

Today we had some additional time to finish up the plant nutrient sheet from yesterday. We also headed over to the lab to get the systems topped up for the weekend. Don't forget there will be a quiz on Monday

Today we attempted the chapter 2 quiz. As it did not go so well, we will have some more time to complete it next class. We will be doing a complete clean of the systems on Wednesday as well as doing a water change. The systems will need to be completely topped up to run over Spring Break.

Today we completed a full systems clean. We emptied each system and ran Hydrogen Peroxide through to cleanse the system and the roots. We then ran tap water through to rinse away excess Hydrogen Peroxide. Lastly, we refilled the systems with nutrient water. This took longer then our allotted class time, so those who could stay helped to complete the remainder of the cleaning. We will complete our quiz from last day tomorrow and do final top ups before spring break.

Today we finished our last bits of system maintenance before spring break. I will be in every three days or so over spring break to make sure the systems are running well and to top up any water. We also set up a class remind page. It is vital that at least one member from each group signs up for remind as the systems will not restart if there is a power outage. As I do not live in Armstrong, it is up to the students to let me know if I need to come in to address the issues a power outage can create. We also finished up our quiz from Monday.
