This week has been rather uneventful in the hydroponics room.  Things are going well.  The tomato plants still haven't started producing tomatoes, but they sure are huge.  They're over 4' tall now, so when they finally start blooming, we should have some real production.

The strawberries are producing.  It's not a lot yet, but they're still young plants; so it makes sense.

Fair Warning:  Chinese eggplants have thorns!  I didn't know that.  The domestic eggplants are friendly, but the Chinese ones are spikey. 

Regarding the aeroponic bed:

The pH steadily declines though the week.  I've come to realize that this is normal, and nothing is wrong.  I don't have enough of a biology background to explain it; but I do know enough to regulate it.  I still check the pH daily, and adjust (upward) as needed.  For reference, the Milwaukee pH meter is still terrible.  I don't even use it anymore.  It's officially branded a piece-of-crap.  I've gone back to doing the "color change" chemical tests exclusively.

Here's the latest photo of the aeroponic bed:
