Hydroponic growth room is READY!



Exciting news! Our hydroponic growth room is all set up! 🌱 For the initial test, we’ve transferred germinated legume seeds into FlaxFarms. Up next, we’ll be closely monitoring the pH and EC levels of the hydroponic solution, inoculating rhizobium, and analyzing nitrogen content. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!

🌱 How Nitrate Messes with Plant-Bacteria Love 💔

Image
  Did you know?  High nitrate levels  can ruin the special bond between plants & rhizobia (nitrogen-fixing bacteria)! Here’s how: 🔻 Less root hair deformation 🔻 Fewer bacteria sticking to roots 🔻 Broken infection threads 🔻 More failed symbiosis attempts We’re testing  different nitrate levels  to find the sweet spot where plants thrive  AND  keep their bacterial buddies happy! 🤝✨

The Nitrogen Dilemma: How Much is Just Right for Legumes?

Image
  Legumes are nitrogen ninjas—they recruit rhizobia bacteria to turn air into plant food! But here’s the catch: if we pump their hydroponic solution with too much nitrogen, they stop cooperating!  We’re running experiments to find the ideal nitrogen concentration where both the plants and their nitrogen-fixing bacteria buddies can thrive. Stay tuned—results coming soon!
