Today in ISR I began reviving the hydroponics project as last year the tomatoes grew too large and collapse the tower. We have found that the best method is the fill and drain method which we used for lettuce last year but can be modified to grow all other types. This year I hope to pass on the project and attempt a more astrophysics type curriculum. I have begun this by trying to secure a Cubesat for the school which could be launched on a NASA rocket to become a short term low orbit satellite. Plants that will be grown this year include tomatoes,squash, peas and lettuce. Based on the last time period there should be results by January. I set up more seedlings today which will be come the future crop. Around 24 have been planted and I after ading fertilzier to the pots i hope they flourish in the newly reinvigorated soil.
