Changing the Water in the Hydroponic Tulip Trays

[@Auntbblossoms]

Mine are growing lots ( of mold 🤬) !!! So glad I found you. Your video is very helpful. This is my first year trying hydroponics.

Darn, they are tricky and conditions are specific to everyone’s area. I’ll be posting more - appreciate you leaving comments! 😊

Thank you for sharing! I have been looking for information on how to do this and it seems to be a secret! I hope you have gorgeous tulips for Valentines Day!

Where could I purchase these tray’s & fertilizer? This looks like an awesome way to grow tulips!

[@wildbirdfarm]

I agree! I bought the trays from Leo Berbee Bulb Co and the fertilizer can be purchased from any hydroponics supplier or I bought mine on Amazon!

could you reply me why you change the water for every 4-5day? i couldnt find any reference for that. thank you for the infotmative video!

[@wildbirdfarm]

I believe it was a Cornell article. That’s where I’ve gotten a lot of my info. Some hydroponic systems have the water and nutrients moving over the bulbs and cycling through. I don’t have that set up so I change my water. I have since heard some smaller growers change their water closer to 7 days. Cornell also recommends fertilizer-water during the week and just clean water on the weekends to keep better ph and nutrient levels.

Very interesting process, hope you get lots of gorgeous tulips... I'm sure you will. How long before blooms appear?

[@wildbirdfarm]

Thank you. Fingers crossed for Valentine tulips! 🤞

[@Auntbblossoms]

This is awesome!! Thanks so much I am going to go throw all my moldy bulbs away !!!

[@wildbirdfarm]

You’re welcome! A little mold is ok, especially in soil but too much is no good for hydroponics! I have had to pull several more out of the prick trays to throw as they had grown more mold yet 😢
