Edamame looking good


Have 6x gold fish in the tank now. tested the water and found zero Nitrites (no fish waste) interesting - before I had dangerous levels of nitrites. This means the beneficial bacteria have been established and are now converting the fishwaste into awesome plant food! yay! system shot - on the left 3 grape tomato plants and 3 edamame plants - on the right 3 lettuce plants and one "big" tomato plant with the 2 Thai Basil plants on the most right side.


Check out the Edamame

The "big" tomato plant - with my bbq chicken tray seedling starter in the background.

Grow Tent

I made a rectangle out of 1/2 inch pvc pipe and taped 3 reflective space blankets to make a homemade grow tent. Should help bounce more light all over. In the blue circle you can see tomato flower about to bloom. I made some more holes too. Now I have 3 bean plants, 4 tomato plants, 2 Thai Basil, 2 butter head lettuce and I have some more seedings going with bell peppers, cucumbers, and some sweet basil. I cut back the tomato plants too.
