Urban Ag / CEA Lab Activities
The urban ag/ CEA team work together in the lab to collect data, perform experiments, and provide hands on experience for our students. They also create many lab solutions such as hydroponic Hogland soultion for their experiments. Additionally, they periodically conduct water quality, EC, and PH testing to ensure plants are grown healthfully. They aim to perform various nutrient, mineral, and water analysis through lab analysis and an HPLC machine in their lab. In the urban lab growing setting they care for indoor plants, perform seed germination, and produce microgreens.
