Greenhouse Report #3 Jason 7A

Introduction: We have recently started a project called the iGrow Project in which every student contribute to the greenhouse one way or another. I have chosen to do blogs about the greenhouse. I will post updates to this blog weekly. 

Horizontal System: There were many plants that were about to snap off, especially the tomato plant. They had big leaves which caused the stem to bend over. Luckily, before they snapped, people put poles and tied the plants to the pole so that it would stay upright. This is the example I used for putting the plants helping the plants stay straight (picture #1). Now, people used wooden poles to fix the plants and preventing them from snapping off. No plants are in an unhealthy state, except for the vertical system.

Vertical System: The vertical system is in very big danger because it flooded and they had to temporarily shut the power off. This will affect the plant growth and we need to pay closer attention to plants that are growing in the vertical system. Sadly, I don't have a footage of it but many of you should know from your friends, or teachers. If not, then please explain it to other people who doesn't know what happened to the vertical system.

A Finished Product in 7th Grade Science A block: This group, (Ning and Zane from A block), is very close to completing their product which was a fish feeder. In the picture (picture #2), they are testing if the fish feeder will actually be able to pick up fish food, which are the colorful beads in the photo. If the product is successful, then it would be put into the greenhouse, and would be ready to operate it's first feeding. Let's all hope that their product will create a positive revolution to the KIS greenhouse.
