Currently feeding medium strength early bloom general hydroponics trio and a Cal-mag supplement. Did do a dish soap and water rinse a few days ago as a light duty precautionary thing.
Not sure why my pepper plants have been looking like this lately. Im suspecting broad mites but im not sure and dont want to use pesticides if not necessary. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi! Looking for advice on a project im going to do.
I have a raised bed, 43 x 17" and about a foot deep I believe. I intend on fitting this to be a hydroponic system.
My ideal grow media is hydroton because its cheap and absolutely cant be over watered. But that comes with poor capillary action.
Im concerned about how to water essentially every inch on the surface. I was thinkin about using misters, specifically rainbird cause my local big box store carrys them but I need a high pressure pump for my resovoir. Or at least one higher pressure than the standard mag drive hydroponic pump and its way too costly
I guess my question is, if you were doing this project how would you tackle it ? Would you still use hydroton? Should I use coco/perlite ? Is there truly a coco perlite mix that cannot be over watered even hypothetically with a constant flow Pump?
Fresh to popping my own seeds to transplant. Unfortunately I live in canada and im waiting some time before putting into my outdoor system. Regardless, im concerned for the health of my spaghetti squash seedling. Im getting conflicting results from the internet and can't tell if this normal or not. Should my leaves be drooping by this much ? Hard to see in photo but this seedling is in rockwool cube. Currently no nutrients.
Also, I got a light from FB marketplace and im concerned for what is the right height for my plants. Currently at about 2ft away. 1500w roleadro Amazon light. Blurple in colour, https://us.amazon.com/Roleadro-Greenhouse-Hydroponic-Vegetable-Light-1500w/dp/B07NXX3HW9
Any advice is appreciated. Going into a large nft system, (im aware squash is large roots and will pose a challenge in nft)
Should I move my spag.sq to a temporary DWC or KRATKY till I can't plant outdoors ? Is my light height ok based on the tell of the leaves ?
