Hey everyone!

We’re the new members of the Green Team, Hannah and Katy. We’re so excited to be granted this opportunity of working in the grow room. 

Hi, I’m Hannah! 🙋🏻

I’m an Environmental Plant Science Horticulture major in my first year here at MSU! I have always loved plants and the hydroponic systems here really interested me.  I am so excited to be working in the grow room and can’t wait to get GROWING! 🌱💚

Hey, I’m Katy!👩🏼‍🌾

 I am also a freshman and a Environmental Plant Science Horticulture major at MSU🐻. Hannah and I have some new ideas on how to stretch the limits of the grow towers. We have some great ideas, and I’m super pumped to learn about hydroponically growing plants!

5th Summer Harvest

Hello🙋🏼

Kind of a late post but I harvested Tuesday and Wednesday of last week💚

I was able to send about 12 lbs of basil to Blair-Shannon!!!!

Pesto, purple, and fine verde basil...oh my

Wowzers.....that’s a bunch of basil!!!

As you can see the plants are growing very good...well...except the cilantro

With the rising temp in the grow room the cilantro started to bolt. 

With no way to control the temp or humidity in the grow room these kind of things happen😞

Even with hydroponic growing if you can’t control these things you’re limited on what you can grow and I highly recommend being able to control these very important aspects if you’re thinking about investing in this system.
