The new strawberries have been moved into the new outdoor aeroponic system. In the process, I've learned some things:
- I was a fool to use regular white caulk to assemble the outdoor aeroponic unit. It didn't hold up well against the constant water, and made a mess. I have resealed it entirely with aquarium sealant, and have learned my lesson.
- The smaller PU550 is performing even better than expected. The larger (1/2" hard PVC) feed line allows to use the smaller PU550 rather than the larger PU850.
- Bending down to service an in-ground reservoir is just as uncomfortable as you'd imagine.
The strawberries seemed to have something bacterial going (they were purchased as rootstock, so I don't know their origins). At the moment, the outdoor aeroponic unit is running with clear water and hydrogen peroxide (35%, at a 1/3 tsp / gallon mixture). I'll probably add the nutrients tomorrow morning. Hopefully, they should acclimate to the new environment.
Here's a photo of the strawberries in their new home:

Here is a closer view on the plant on the closest end:

Also, the ongoing CO2Boost Experiment is showing interesting results. The supplemented plant is clearly pulling ahead. It's larger and fuller. Take a look for the ongoing results.
I've finally managed to obtain some of the 180 degree aeroponic sprayers as well. I'll do a formal write-up, just as soon as I have time. Sadly, my real life inflicts imposition on my hobbies.
The eggplant in the Mark 1 single-site unit is really quite happy. I'm very pleased with the House & Garden nutrients that we're feeding it. Normally, I'd show a photo here. Sadly, I now realize that I didn't take one. Shame on me.
Sorry that this week's post is so short. For a bit of insight into our life, we're in the early stages of moving. We'll be listing our home for sale later this week, which means that we're in a mad packing / painting frenzy. Hopefully, we will return to some level of normalcy in the next ten days or so.
