Nutrient warning light working ok

The nutrient light came on Jan.13 for the H+T-so added them.Waiting for the light to come on
for the lettuce.Probably will on the 16th. Everything is doing great so far.I thinned out the tomatoes to one seedling each in each of the two tomato pods.Couldn't stand throwing them
away so dipped the stems in some rooting hormone and stuck them in a vermi-mix and used some of the aerogrow water to dampen them.Doubt if they will live but interesting to try.

Latest happenings

All the lettuce is sprouting!! My own seeds using MG kit in the Elite 6 plus.
Have Italian basil/Thyme/purple basil/chives sprouted and still waiting on mint/parsley/Dill
in the Gourmet herb collection in the pro 200
2 pods of tomatoes I think are starting in the other Elite 6 plus-hard to really tell just yet.
No sprouts of the 3 green beans or catnip in the coventional dirt/vermitulite mix I planted in
a plastic container with top and placed near AG lights. So far I'm impressed.

Lettuce Day 1

Finally set up the other Elite 6 plus and put in the lettuce seeds using the MG kit.Mine came with
peat looking planting material that had a whole on top-followed the directions which said put
5=6 seeds in each hole.There is no way to cover the holes so apparently depth and covering isn't
important?

Day3 herbs and tomatoes

Have a teeny sprout in the Thyme pod!!!! Definately will get the lettuces in today.
