What I have learned

HYDROPONICS 

1. What should I put in the water?
 You will need Dyna grow water enhancer you need 1/4 Tbsp per gallon

2. What kind of medium do I need for my plants? How should I prepare the medium?
 Your medium should be clay pellets to prepare them you must rinse the bag with water until clean water comes out of the other side.


    SOIL

1. Lettuce needs a soil PH of 7.0.

2. The water needs a PH of 6.0 (this also goes for hydroponics)

3. If the plant does not have a proper PH level it can not eat.
