Hydroponics: Which nutrients should you use? 

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

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.

Good info. Thanks 👍

Awesome bro thank you for video...

Love the sense of humor

I really appreciate your tips I made sure to buy the three part bottle through your link I hope it helps

Hi Could you help me ? Ive been trying to get a liquid nutients for growing hydroponics maple seeds whats the best one I can use and how can I use it

SO I would have to use something like biofilter (like those buckets with bacterias in aquaponics) if I wanted to go for organic ferts?

Really useful thanks

Thanks for helping me make a decision after watching a video. I'm gonna buy General Hydroponics because I'm not that lazy. And I don't need to worry about the chef life of 2 years. They last longer shout of forum. And when you buy a liquid form fertilizer, you're paying the water but powder form. You save a lot more money.

you are the ryan renolds of Hydroponics. Subbed!

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.

Your video is just the right amount deadpan humor and helpful tips.

So how much of the floa blend would you put in mason jars?

I use masterblend and mix it in a bucket with a paint mixer that goes on the end of my drill it’s amazing and the best!

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

Wise words mate👍

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.

Well explained

I used 3 part GH, but it becomes 4 part quickly, when you also have to get the GH calcium. For that reason, this year, I tried a one bottle solution (Dyna-Gro Bloom) on my outdoor 5gal hydro-bucket tomatoes, start to finish. My test was only 2 buckets, one plant each. Worked great. I even used my tap water and never even checked the pH. I wanted to see how lazy i could be with it. hardest part was only having to keep the bucket topped off with water. Those tomatoes drink a LOT in summer. Easily over 5gal a week. And i didnt add nutes very often, either. I found they need less nutes than i thought.

what camera were you using?

Great vid. 1. You need Cotton to colonize...ask the Americans. 2. Interesting presentation of information. Thanks that helped. 3. WOW that river surf looks amazing!! Never seen that before!! 👍🏿 👍🏿

Grew some amazing brown slime algae with gh flora series that devoured my tomato plants roots in no time. Lol 😆

Thank you. U r awsome

Do you have any thoughts on maxigro series from them? Starting my first (small) indoors hydroponic system for herbs; mostly basil and cilantro.

Merci from Montreal, Canada.

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.

That is where you live and your surroundings? WOW! Love you videos and have to say, a little jealous. ;)

I've been using Kratky method for two years, but I've not pitched the nutrient water weekly, or even monthly. Why do you need to do that? Love your videos, thanks!

Can you link the website of the store or the name that you mentioned?

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

McDonald's; the number 1 source of nutrition for humans apparently

U still use that stuff im gona get a hydroponics system

❤

Do tomatoes have benevolent personalities?

When people say they are growing things in their basement …. It sounds kind of SEEDY (Ba dump pump) Hahaaa

HILARIOUS.

Do Kratky and quit changing the water! The plant should be in a container that holds the entire lifespan of the plants nutrients, set it and forget it!!! Works perfectly

🤔MOON COTTON....YESSSSS

😂🤣😂 McDonald's coke #1 source of nutrition for humans. 😂🤣😂

McDonalds as nutrition. Hahaha.

craackuup fhulla 😂

12 days later...

I wouldn’t call McDonald’s stuff is nutritious

:))

If you dontbhave adhd this is what its like..

,,,,,,

@00:12 whatever .... 😂

You forget to mention that using this stuff you have to mix one wait 5 minutes then add the other wait 5 minutes add the other

Dude get to the fucking point
