I’m psyched you’re doing this. I don’t do hydro but I definitely do tomatoes. I saw that other video you did awhile back learned a ton. In this one you say you don’t want salt build up at the root zone (I’m guessing from the fert.) so are you saying you don’t want the blocks to dry out completely? I’m guessing with hydro there’s a constant stream of water+ nutrients, not pure water some days followed by water+nutrients on other days…..TY so much. Ps. Our dog is a runner too

Seed company or some other entity? How can you tell at what week of growth for tomatoes or any other veggie how much fertilizer to give?

CORRECTION: I misspoke about the Nitrogen sources in this video. I got the two different types of nitrogen mixed up. Ammoniacal nitrogen is what is in most premixed fertilizers such as Miracle Grow, that make plants green up quickly but also causes cell elongation or stretching. Tomatoes are heavy feeders of Nitrogen and need mostly Nitrate nitrogen to help produce a stocky robust plant. The Hydro Grow that I talked about in this video has no ammoniacal N like I had mentioned, it is all nitrate N, as well as the Calcium Nitrate. Very little ammoniacal N should fed to a young growing tomato plant. Sorry about this confusion.

One problem with rockwool is that it has a naturally high ph. You are suppose to do your initial soaking of your rockwool cubes with a low ph water to balance them. You can use ph down or vinegar. That’s one reason I prefer Oasis cubes over rockwool.
@wishwellfarms18 сағат бұрын
We do pre-soak them with pH corrected water before seeding on all of our later seedings but with that first one we just use straight water and then once they sprout then we soak them with pH corrected water with fertilizer added. Have never had one issue in over 20 years doing it this way.

But in the agriculture space I don’t really know who to work with or who to reach out to, I was waiting for my channel to grow a little bit more this summer before I start doing that.

It is 15.5 % Nitrate Nitrogen and is the main nitrogen source in hydroponic tomato recipes. The calcium part of it also plays a crucial role in the recipe for proper plant and fruit development.
