• Which hydroponic system did this sample originate from? ________________________________________________
Open up your Data Collection Spreadsheets
• Take a look at the plant sample provided (Dutch Bucket System #1: Green Beans), and open the specific sheet (hydroponic
system) that this sample was collected from.
• Below, write the date(s) of the recorded data and the pHs, choosing only 3 data sets to fill out the below portion of this lab.
• If there are pH fluctuations, you can simply separate those pH values by commas.
• Once that has been completed, choose only 1 data set, in which we had to make adjustments.
• Describe on the following page what happened that day and what adjustments were made to the solution.
Date pH concentration:
Write a detailed description of the adjustments made to the hydroponic solution.
Include the pH fluctuations, nutrient additions, pH solution additions, and the final/outcome of those adjustments.
Also, include why those adjustments had to be made.
