Tried hydroponics, can't see the advantages, understand if there is limited space ?! Impossible to keep out algae & constantly check/refill water, pump, nutrients ?!
I think the main advantage is that with hydro-kratky (no pumps needed) and LED lights - I can grow veggies under a clean environment with cocopeat, especially for indoor gardening. I don't use soil and all the bugs that come along with it. I have no problems with algae as long as the containers are covered, and refilling allows me to visit the plants which I enjoy doing. Using nutrient solution saves me the worry I had before, unlike with soil, I always had to think about compost and fertilizer :)
hi! My temperature under the bookshelf LED lights ranges from 25C/77F to 30C/86F and I do have a fan (no aircon) to circulate the air around the veggies. The outdoor balcony with afternoon sun gets to be around 32C/90F. I don't see any major difference between the celery grown indoors or outdoors, maybe because the supplier gave me a hybrid type that grows in warm weather. Depending on the variety, most celery prefer between 16C/61F to 22C/72F, which is a much cooler environment than mine.
@@journeytohydroponics6964 I do hydro celery seed In Rockwool with no light until couple inches then regular light with water no air until 3”. Or more then with nutrients and air my plants get 3’ to 4’ tall huge thickness it’s unreal in soil outside very small
hi. growing celery is quite challenging. aside from the nutrients formula, check also ph balance because that will also impact how the roots absorb the nutrients.
