September 23, 2008- 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
light bar.   
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.

EC of tap water was 0.72
