Hydroponics: Which nutrients should you use?

Hydroponics: Which nutrients should you use?

How do you choose the best nutrients for your setup? Synthetic? Organic? Can you even use organic in hydroponics?

Plus, river surfing because I saw some guys doing it and thought it was pretty cool.

    Between Jacks 321 and Mega Crop, I’ve had nothing but cost effective success.

    I know this is an older video, but I hope someone can answer a fundamental question for me. I’m new to growing herbs in an inexpensive 12-slot hydroponic system (light/pump/etc.). The instructions tell me to add nutrients every 2 weeks, and the original instructions were to add 5 ml of nutrients per liter (the container holds around 5 liters of water). I went down about 1/2 liter of water in the first two weeks. Do I still add 5 ml x 5 liters (25 ml) or 2.5 ml (5 ml x 0.5 l of water) of nutrients? I know this is basic, but the instructions in my kit don’t tell me. Thanks for any help.

    Circling back to that tshirt shop on the moon, are you still looking for space biznis partners? I know I’m a few months late but C-19 got me WFH rn and I’ve got time. As a space biznisman I can bring a lot to a space partnership- including (but not limited to) my original framed XFiles poster “I want to believe” and a framed certificate from the scholarly periodical teen beat magazine which testified that I am “Outta This World!!!” (It has 3 exclamation marks which correspond to my space rank and an accurate rending of George Clinton wearing sunglasses that are shaped like a double thumbs up.) Thank you for considering my qualifications as your future space biznis partner. I look forward to working with you in our lunar souvenir shop. -Joe, a human Earth hydrofarmer

    So wouldn’t dropping some growers recharge into the reservoir with organic would work I’m a new grower that’s why I’m wondering

    you are the ryan renolds of Hydroponics. Subbed!

    Chemical/mineral fertilizers are highly water soluble. Once they are dissolved, the ions dissociate and they are completely bio-available. In fact, the plant can’t not take them up.
    Bacteria or fungi play no role. The best is to buy bulk commercial grade fertilizers and then mix them yourself. But you then have a bulk amount, and you have to do the math and mixing yourself.
    The alternative is to buy way more expensive liquid ones. Which is the same stuff, but others already did all the work, slammed a cool logo on the bottle, as if they are selling whey protein, and increased the price 50-fold. Using organic fertilizer for hydroponics is very tricky.

    HILARIOUS.

    McDonalds as nutrition. Hahaha.

    I run RDWC system of 50gal. I use General Hydro Pro series, which I don’t really see for sale any more as a combo pack; I believe they’ve rebranded one or two of the supplement products. I’ve had great success out the gate, I used their middle of the road plan off their feeding chart without any hiccup. Now I’m questioning how much I’m wasting, mind you I flush the system every two weeks to avoid the water becoming brackish. Self taught here, on my second grow now so I’m all ears at this stage of the game.

    You can take masterblend (or any NPPK fertalizer that has micro nutrients) and mix it into a concentrated liquid. Very simple mix 150grams masterblend (or schults, miricle grow etc) and 75 grams of epsom salts with 1 litre (or pint) or Distilled water (it has to be distilled) then put it in a bottle. Mix 150 grams of calcium nitrate and 1 litre of distilled water. Use warm water for easier mixing. for dosing it is around 60mls (4 table spoons) for a 5gallon (19litre) bucket. use a PPM meter should be around 900 for baby plants and 1600 for adult plants. Increase the PPM when the temperature is cold and decrease it for the heat. I have tested the regular 20-20-20 miracle grow and the masterblend with excellent results from both. The master blend was a little better on stuff that fruits and it is a lot cheaper as it is sold in bulk.
