hydroponics

[project_ichigo]

ok lang naman hehehe. nag tanim ako ng cucumber isang bunga lang lumaki pero ang haba 14 inches kaya siguro di na lumaki ibang bunga kasi naubos na nutrients.

matakaw daw sa solution yang pipino?

Up ko lang po itong thread.

Tungkol sa mga leafy veg like pechay, upland kangkong etc. mas okay ba may air pump/air stone? Dami ko kasi nakikita sa web na kailan aerated yung hydro solution kaya may gamit pa silang airstone. Sa SNAP system diba di naman nagrecommend na gumamit pa ng airstone.

Sa experience niyo po parehas lang results ng unaerated solution sa aerated solution? O mas okay try ko gumamit ng airstone? Medyo marami na kasi akong nahingi na grape styro boxes at may styro cups na din ako, antay ko na lang mag-germinate yung seeds ko para makapag-setup ulit ako ng mini hydro garden.

Ok lang ba mag hydroponics sa terrace sa 2nd floor facing east? tapos lagyan ko lang lambat para mabawasan yung sikat ng araw during lunchtime?

[gotta lick it]

one of my former employers has a hydroponic garden on their roofdeck. it is made out of tubular pvc, black rubber tubes and recycled styrofoam cups. although they only grow lettuce and wombok pechay.

Bibisita na lang ako sa UPLB, malapit lang din naman yan samen

Direct sunlight ba yung hyrdroponics ng boss mo?

[gotta lick it]

^ yes and it has nets as a cover. it does not cover the entire roof deck only the plant bed and nets are shaped like half cylinder.






and, they used old paint buckets for the water mixtures. the tubular plant beds are supported by shop made steel stands.

Kung green leafy veggies or short term crops lang naman kahit di na gumamit ng air pump. Advisable yung air pump sa fruiting veggies.

Mas maganda boss morning sunlight, pero pwede nyo cover ng UV plastic and shading net

hi, newbie to hydroponics .... whats DWC system? parang walang water source yun mga images. TIA

[crazy_piggy]

urban, baka pwede niyo po idetail yung drip system niyo, paano ginawa. salamat!

[great2find]

I was wondering, are there differences between taste, texture and nutrients between food grown in soil and thru hydroponics?

[adrian1234]

Question, since pinalaki sya sa tubig na may kemikal, organic pa rin ba yan? sorry sa stupid na tanong. nalilito lang ako.

yun leafy greens ng boss ko did not taste any different. the chicory lettuce still tasted bitter.

Deep Water Culture and ibig sabihin ng DWC wherein naka submerge lang yung growing cup sa nutrient solution, pwede gamitan ng airpump para dagdag aeration sa roots or wala ng pump just like mine.

sir yung ginawa ko sa pipino ay dinidiligan ko lang ng hydroponics solution.

Wala dapat pagkakaiba, ang pagkakaiba lang naman between grown in soil and hydroponically grown veggies ay yung source ng mga nutrients nila.

Baka po overgrown na yung lettuce or hindi dumaan ng flush out yung lettuce nya, giving only water on the plants sa final phase prior harvesting.
