outdoor hydro?

Seriously check out 'Growing Edge'. It's the BEST FREAKIN GROW MAG OUT THERE!!! Granted it's all vegetables, but stoners gotta EAT, too...

if you can grow matoes in a bucket you can grow (almost) anything. except peyote and other cactie, but... i will do that stinky.

oh and stinky can you spread some of you compost skills on my compost thread in organic?

[stinkyattic]

I gotz no compost skillz... I buy compost in bags so I don't have to get my fingernails drrty hahahahaha (kidding but I DO buy it pre-made from the farmers supply).
I'll go over and poke around anyway.

[marijuanavillebilly]

oh well i saw you where a "compost" grower, back when i just read alot of stuff but didnt post.

so anybody got anything on that setup?

i know this is an old thread but i have an idea but idk if it will work....anyways on my land we have a creek that has a large section with a ton of small rocks....i always see weeds and other plants growing in the rocks...and they always end up huge...i was thinking this could be sorta an outdoor hydro in a way since the plants sorta get a flow of water but its not enough to drown them...but there could be some way to route the water to get a small stream to go under your roots and i think it would work very well...sorry if this isn't making sense i had my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday so i'm not in the right state of mind haha

There's a difference between groups of plants and how/where they grow:

Aquatic and semi-aquatic plants grow in the water, with most or all of the plant submerged most or all of the time, particularly the root structure. These include water lilies, lotuses, millefoils, and others.

Wetland plants grow in areas that are soggy most or all of the year. Their roots are adapted to uptake nutrients even in the presence of very very low oxygen (anaerobic conditions), and some are even further adapted to live in conditions of low pH (peat bogs), high salinity(estuaries), or soils that are so loose that large plants would not stand up to winds or storm action (cypress or mangrove swamps). Some examples include cattails, rushes, cranberries, Siberian irises, purple loosestrife, high-bush wild blueberries, and hemlock, willow, and sycamore trees, which like very moist soil but are perfectly happy if it gets drier for a few weeks out of the year.

Cannabis is an upland plant that can only grow where the soil conditions are aerobic. The only way to get it to grow hydroponically is to provide SIGNIFICANT levels of dissolved O2 in the nutrient solution. Plus you have to regulate the nutrients- impossible in a river.

are coniferous trees wetland because these grow there too...very rapidly might i add...and this is not exactly a river its more like a 3 foot wide creek...but thanks for the clarification stinky

[stinkyattic]

That depends on species. Some conifers like their feet to get wet (hemlock), but some will drown (white pine, spruce).

The easiest way would be to grow in a greenhouse using a hydro set up.
The advantage of a greenhouse is it is a controlable enviroment.

stinky you are like the wikipedia of cultivation...you know like everything about everything...i hope i get as bright as you some day
