@ -24,8 +24,13 @@ The approach that worked was to use the Kratky method of Hydroponics:
* The pH monitor I purchased wasn't great quality and I'm also not very careful with accuracy so I suspect that the pH wasn't ideal - I might well invest in better pH monitoring device and hopefully this will make it easier.
* I probably need to be a bit more aggressive with harvesting the basil as it got a bit 'leggy' near the end - I understand that due to the close proximity to the lights compared to the sun this can result in slightly different growth rates.
* Weird looks - luckily my family are used to my experiements but the concept was a bit weird and when I spoke about it got some dodgy looks!

## Early failed attempts
The initial attempt was just too ambitious, after watching a load of youtube videos I attempted to grow 2 containers and with only 1 light strip per container. Also attempted to grow bok choi. It quickly became apparent that there wasn't enough light per plant and so I consolidated the lights to 2 strips for a single container.
