Looking nice and green there Timmy

I was starting to see a little yellowing in the leaves so i hit it with some iron and things have greened up nicely.

I've started to get a little algae in my clear pipes, but it only sits at the level that's left in my pipes after a cycle.

8 days later and i have tomatoes fruiting. 4 fruit i can see so far with lots of flowers i think will fruit.
strawberries are pumping out a steady supply of fruit as well.
vertical growth has slowed a little but considering the rate each plant is bearing fruit that's understandable.

Nice stuff Timmy, my strawberries started fruiting well... but seem to have stopped for awhile.... they might be too crowded in the small container they're in I guess.

if you pick them it will promote new growth

strawberries are huge feeders, i suspect their the reason my nitrates stay so low no matter how much i need my fish.
i upped the feeding to once a day during the last week and it made the strawberries produce a lot more, and also ripen faster.
I put a zuchinni seedling in the system today to replace my failed spinach. I also planted 3 others in my dirt garden, it'll make an interesting race.
