My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Growing Cabbage, any Advice

17 years ago

I played around with hydroponics about 10 years ago. Then this week my son came home from 3rd grade with a cabbage plant, he is supposed to take care of it for 10 weeks and track it's growth. So I thought the two of us would have fun with growing this using Hydroponics.

Any advice to keep it healthy and our project successful is appreciated. First challenge has been to keep ph between 5.5 and 6.5. I did not remember that being such a challenge in the past.
