hydro uses

[dreadydrug]

apart from growing ganj, what else is hydroponics used for (if anything)?

[Sinsemilla Jones]

Well, duh.

I don't think cactus plants can make it in hydro. Some will grow better in dirt and some will grow better in hydro. I'm experimenting right now to see what plants will do okay in hydro. The cilantro I grew did not like being underwater all the time. It eventually drowned. The ones that had their tops about the water level did fine. The yellow onion I am growing right now does not like sitting in water. Lettuce does great in hydro.

what about orchids?

[latewood]

they float orchids...if it will root, then you can grow it hydro...some species just grow better than others...I grow tomato's and peppers...pure blend Pro/calmag+/liquid karma
in dwc 2.5 gallon bubblers...getting ready to try lemon tree/fig tree...hope this helps

There are many types of Hydroponic systems and not all plants can grow in each one. I find top feed with grow rocks or Lava rocks can grow most herb plants. Tomato plants work very good as well as a banana tree I have seen pictures of. GK saw it at a hydro show.

Cilantro like parsley top feed systems work. With top feed you can vary the drip amount different for each plant if you need to. Straw berries grow very well in hydro. Sometime you need to use a different medium, there are grow cubes, Higromite, coco peat, soil less mixtures like vermiculite & perlite and a few others I can't remember right now.

Do you understand how many different options there are to choose?


I hope that helped you a little.

thats cool :) but ganj is the more worth it yeah?
Zandor it's a bit of a "personal" question but if you don't mind saying, do you grow to smoke or to sell?

[Da1KrayzieThug]

He doesn't grow, he just finds all his information from another friend. Growing in the US is illegal and no one should ever do it. Zandor has never done anything illegal in his life. :D

I don't sell never have and don't intend to start now. I do have a medical lic and so does my wife just in case.

I just got 3 meyer or myer lemon tree cuttings and 4 fig tree cuttings and 3 pomegranate cuttings...wish me luck.
And, i think that it can be more lucrative growing vegetables and fruit and hanging baskets, if you can create a market for same...Imho.lw
