Getting Started

The Sun

• To mimic the sun I will use a overhead, 48 inch grow light.

 Waste Water

•  To simulate waste water I used a solution of approx. 0.06% Miracle-Gro fertilizer to 99.94% distilled water.

 What's in Miracle-Gro (24-8-16)

• 24% Nitrogen
• 8% Phosphate
• 16% Soluble

• Other Micro-nutrients
• Boron
• Copper
• Iron
• Manganese
•  Molybdenum
• Zinc.

 

 To make the solution:

1. I took roughly a gallon (3785 mL) of distilled water .
2. Then I added about half a teaspoon (2.5mL) of Miracle-Gro to the distilled water.
3. Finally, I set the mixture aside for my expierement 

 

Carbon Dioxide

• I used an air pump to circulate air through the PBR.  This will help remove built-up oxygen from the system and add carbon dioxide from the surrounding environment.

Land

• This is my variable and will be coming soon.
