October 17th, 2008- "Lettuce is
indeed humming along -- we are taking
the setup to full capacity.  We are
branching out to cress, mizuna, pac
choi, and arugula in the next week....
the lettuce is much thicker right under
the LEDs." -Dr. Matthew Harbur

"First of all, let me rave again about the R.O.
system.  The difference in our lettuce is
incredible.  Everything is improved -- yield,
color, leafiness. There is even a difference in
how the plants grow upright -- you can see
improved sturdiness in the new leaves, even
though they are as large or larger than the
leaves that grew pre-RO.   I wish we had taken
the plunge right at the beginning -- I probably
spent most of that amount on extra fertilizer,
pH Down, and forfeited yield!
We are now testing whether our lettuce bases
will grow back after cutting.  The roots are so
long, branched, and clean, that I bet we will --
we could cut our baby lettuce harvests to 14
days if it worked.  We cut the lettuce
yesterday, but there was no root die-back as
of 6pm this evening."- Dr Matthew Harbur

New York Farm Day is a popular event hosted by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to showcase New York as a major
agricultural state and home to some of the world's best food, wine, and chefs.  Dr. Mary Condon, Alfred State
College executive assistant to the president, and Dr. Ronald R. Rosati, ASC provost and vice president for
academic affairs displayed a table-top hydroponic production unit with lettuce growing under our very own LGM5 led
grow lights.   
The unit represented a smaller version of the greenhouse in place at Alfred State's, Suny College of Technology.
Together with Dr. Harbur we have created a working greenhouse, successfully making use of the most efficient
technology available.   NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) channels and LGM5 led grow lights work 24 hours a day to
supply lettuce for the college food court, and to the neighboring culinary college.  
Alfred State's greenhouse has provided farmers in New York and elsewhere a viable model for year round
production.  
With 35,000 farms in New York contributing over $3.4 billion annually to the states economy- increases in
productivity and efficiency in agriculture offer a positive impact on the economy as a whole.  --AL

September 9th, 2008-  Pump went out.  Hydro without water anyone?  If we figure we refill the reservoirs once a week, it would be 200 gallons per week.
September 24th, 2008-  In the greenhouse hydroponic system the RO unit should give extra life out of nutrient
solution.  Chlorine alone ruins some nutrients.
