We don't have anything earth shattering to report this week... Rather, we simply have stable progress to show.  If you're read our previous posts, you may have seen our recent experiments with STG (Sure To Grow) media.  At the moment, we have a tomato and a cantaloupe growing in the media as an experiment.  Both plants are growing aeroponically, in our own home-built units.

When compared to last week, you can see that our cantaloupe has grown quite a bit:

Also, the tomato is progressing as well...

We're growing both plants in independent reservoirs.  Both plants are using House and Garden nutrients.  I've always been pleased with House and Garden.  It has very little "fall out" when compared to everything else (except possibly Technaflora).  House and Garden and Technaflora are the best on the market, when it comes to "staying in solution".

The photo above gives a good detail of the Sure to Grow media... We've packed the fluffy "loose fill" media around one of their standard cubes.  Thus far, it's been very good as an aeroponic medium.  The top stays dry, and the plant seems happy with it.

I took a quick look under the hood, just to show the root growth thus far... Take a look:

The small white roots are growing down into the chamber.  Despite appearances, the "loose fill" has done a really good job at staying in position.  We can't offer a full report yet, but thus far, we've been pretty happy with the results.
