Lessons Learned
- For next crop measure 300-330 grams dry weight of seed instead of 1 cup volume.
- Goal is 16-24 oz. yield per 1020 tray
- Might want to put more weight on top of seeds during blackout period.
- Next crop, try coconut coir for one tray and organic soil mixed with perlite for another tray.
