This is great. I started growing cannabis and wanted to stay as organic as possible. I got a aerogarden to germinate and I just loved the growth rate. My first grows I transplanted to soil as I did not know I could do this. I think I will definitely try it for my next grow. Thank you

How long can the water in the hydroponic system be used? How often must it be changed ?

[@Amie-d1z]

Can’t thank you enough for your videos. You are a great inspirations and make me feel like I can build and now make my own feed for my plants!! Thank you with all of my heart! You surely have given a lot of woman the confidence that we can do our own hydroponic systems on our own.!! Sending to many thanks snd hug!! 💕

[@daydelight7054]

My hydroponic journey began approximately two months ago when I stumbled upon your instructional videos. I eagerly followed your guidance and planted tomatoes, cucumbers, and a variety of peppers 🌶️. It brings me immense joy whenever I gaze upon the flourishing plants. However, I have recently encountered a challenge. All the plants have entered the flowering stage, but I've yet to see any signs of fruit production. The flowers simply keep dropping. Is there a possibility that I might be overlooking something crucial in this process?

[@harshwardhangunthey8915]

pollinators! they might be missing. try keeping a bee hive and see how it goes!

[@nevales]

Potassium or potash. Browser for those flowering and fruiting amendments

[@jpierce3498]

@harshwardhangunthey8915 If you don't have bees, use a small paint brush or cotton swab to go from flower to flower to mimic what a bee would do.

[@jasonbowman7190]

I put everything together in a 5 gallon bucket and mixed. I noticed some white crystals on the bottom of the bucket 🪣. I'm assuming it is the calcium that didn't dissolve. Should I add more now, using the hot water method 🤔

Hi, Nice and informative video. I have a question. If calcium nitrate is not available. Can we use Gypsum? If we can then what should be the quantity?

[@AlientoDivinoGd]

Quite interesting... However, I would like to know if you did that for strawberry crop.... and if the NPKCa Mg formula changes a little bit..or is it the same....? Do you have another video for that crop? Thank you very much Best

What is the solution ratio for the metric minded? How many ml/L for leafy greens/fruiting plants? Does the ratio change when switching from vegetative to flowering?

For the measurements, 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup, you could just use 3/4 cup measurement.

[@vincentdo1774]

Can you just add both solutions into one mixture instead of two? Any reason why they have to be separated?

[@healinghobbies]

Combining both concentrated solutions can lead to a chemical reaction, causing nutrient lockout. This, in turn, can compromise the effectiveness of the nutrient solution. I hope this helps!🌱🙂

How long can the solutions stay ? Will they go bad if they stay too long ?

[@cbzp7]

I have a 5 gallon bucket. So I add 40ml of both. How often do you add more nutrients or change the water? I have the pump running roughly 5 hs on and off throughout the day. Mostly, lettuce and cilantro.

[@healinghobbies]

That is correct 40ml both A & B Solution in 5 gallons of water. Adding nutrients will depend on what system/set up, the size of reservoir and how many plants you are growing. For instance, I have a vertical tower with 48 plants (mostly leafy greens and some dwarf tomatoes and strawberries) with 5 gallon bucket reservoir and the pump is running 5mins ON 45mins OFF in Spring season. I refill when it's half full at least once a week. However, in summer months, due to increased evaporation caused by the heat, the pump runs for 3 minutes ON and 15 minutes OFF. Reservoir refill is at least 2x a week or when necessary. Another factor to consider is as the plant matures they will take up a lot of nutrients too. Some set up like Kratky in a 5 gallon styroboxes filled with about 3-3.5 gallons of nutrient solution with 15 leafy greens like lettuce, bok choy and other leafy greens. No refill is needed up to harvest. I hope this helps!🌱🙂

No change it’s the same mixture. I do refill the nutrients specially when the plants started to flower and set fruits. They take up a lot of nutrients.

Details and useful content

[@CasaMetalica]

In my first search in my country I usualy find NPK 10 10 10 and NPK 4 14 8 . It is very different? Can I use this? Thanks

[@healinghobbies]

Yes as long as it's water soluble. It will work with leafy greens however result may vary with fruit plants since it has less P (Phosphorus) & K (Potassium) components which are essential for flowering and fruit development. Nevertheless, if that's the only resources available it would be fun to give it a try and experiment. I hope this helps! All the best and Happy Gardening!🌱🙂

[@einbisschenwasvonjenem]

Is there any natural possibility to mix nutrient solution, for example with stinging nettles and comfrey? So I don't have to purchase anything? Somebody knows this?

[@bharathn759]

General rule from what I've read is: not to mix nitrate with sulphate. But in your case, you are mixing NPK with Magnesium sulphate??

[@jeem5932]

it's true, but many common NPK formulations are designed to be compatible with magnesium sulfate. that's why proper dosing and mixing were also introduced to prevent any potential issues

[@LagerthaLothbrok03]

Is this solution applicable for lettuce?

[@healinghobbies]

[@MrBullythecat]

Hi , I am a new subscriber to your channel, I have seen your do videos of growing different things and they all come out looking great. I don't see you checking for PH levels or the other things that I see other KZbinrs doing when using this method of growing, so I am now wondering if this step is necessary? I await your earliest response.

[@healinghobbies]

If you have the device and specially if you are growing commercially please do so. For me, I like to keep it simple. I used to measure it in the beginning of this hydroponic journey but I feel like complicates it every time I measure and adjust ppm & pH. So, I no longer use them. Just enjoy the process and do not overthink it🌱🙂

Is it working for strawberry ?

It does, but I would suggest to use the 9-12-34 this is formulated for strawberries. They grow best in this formula.🌱🍓

[@Alexus999Official]

Sir, how often do you apply this solution to your plant?

[@healinghobbies]

It varies depending on the type of the plants and the size of your container or reservoir. With leafy greens, if you have one gallon that would be sufficient for a head of lettuce. For fruiting plants like tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and others. If you are growing in 5 gallon bucket. You may need to refill nutrients at least 2-3x a week when they start to bear fruit as they takes up a lot of nutrients. I hope this helps!🌱🙂

[@jafethernandez791]

Hi Why you mixing 180 g of calcium instead 120 g like the npk ?

[@healinghobbies]

It's a 2in1 added booster for both leafy greens which loves nitrogen and tomato plants (calcium to reduce blossom rot). Calcium Nitrate is a high source of Nitrogen. For some, increasing calcium nitrate is unnecessary. The standard ratio can be used for CN is 120g instead of 180g. I hope it helps.🌱🙂

[@SamsquanchShenanigans]

So at the end of the video you have 1gal vs 5 gal solution mixtures….I’d imagine then that the NPK, CN, and MS mixtures are also different depending on how much water you put in it? To further explain, you’re no longer using the same amount of dry ingredients to make the A & B solution since it’s not then getting poured into a 5 gal container then right? If I don’t want 5 gallons of the finished product I’d hate to have to use the same amount of NPK, MS, and CN then to make the A & B solution

[@stephond.photography9867]

I think the amount you add to the water source is the difference. 40 ml in 5 g or 8 ml for 1 g. The amount of NPK you mix are for reserves and can be stored for years so it’s not a waste
