Update on soil versus hydroponic trials for bell peppers and tomatoes, Cravo Demonstration Center Me

[@hoofpanels6519]

in height did you take in consideration the bags height when measuring both plant hts many variations of hydro try buckets draining into a collection center and then back again to plants saving of water is incredible you can use plain old 3/8 to 3/4 rock [make sure it has no limestone in it] buckets will last for years

We just bought them from a local supplier. Best to check with your local greenhouse supply company

[@gillenzfluff8380]

That soil looks knackered.

[@pinestandcoffeeco.4468]

long shot here, but where can i get some of those bags? we'd like to move from buckets to bags!

I want ingredients for solutions of pepper

[@ericduyongan1056]

Hi did you apply foliar fertilizer in this set up? Thanks

[@SoundQuestROB]

Can I get some seeds great looking plants salt or not!

i really didnt get what he said but the accent was awesome 🤪

Chemical peppers, yum

[@mxrcla596]

Clearly you don't know how this works...

[@ThahnG413]

this is the person who didn't show up to chemistry class and dosen't realize everything is a chemical

[@DmDm-fg2cs]

@@ThahnG413 yeah, and not all nitrogen is derived from the same source lol are you for real? Like all chemicals are equal? You dont need to use ammonium nitrate when you can use compost, thinking everything is the same just because "everything is a chemical" is ridiculous.

[@ThahnG413]

@@DmDm-fg2cs If I were to grow in water, compost would not be a good option for example, because I would want immediately plant available nutrients, also this is kind of on the side, but im pretty sure the standard is calcium nitrate not ammonium nitrate since calcium nitrate provides the necessary calcium. You are not wrong in saying not all chemicals are equal, however I would argue that much of the chemicals you eat from the plant would be converted to similar chemicals of what you would get from what you would consider a normal plant, while I do admit that I do grow organically, I also grow inorganically because both produce good results, and frankly I think inorganic is a great option for beginner gardeners as the high nutrient content keeps their plant going if they say forget to fertilize not to mention that the price of organic to inorganic fertilizers is growing in gap as organic grows to unreasonable prices

Hello I want to plant bell pepper on hydroponic too . Can you teach me or not

[@sean8081a]

What about taste, the hydroponics are bigger but are they watery or watered down taste.

[@cravo2811]

Fruits grown in a retractable roof house are larger, firmer with a higher brix than a conventional greenhouse. Watery fruits are caused by low transpiration rates which occur in conventional greenhouses. Simply retracting the roof when outside conditions are ideal increases the rate of water loss helping to increase fruit firmness

Black pepper can growing hydroponics and aquaponics?

[@cravo2811]

You will need to consult an expert on black pepper

What soilless medium did you use?

[@mxrcla596]

coco

[@jasonault3511]

Hard to understand what he’s saying

[@pollymonopoly8803]

Hate to be the party pooper here but you can hardly call that hydroponics. Maybe it’s being fed hydroponic nutrients but it is grown in soil. By default that’s not hydroponics.

[@caseG80]

Polly Monopoly i think these guys know what they have going on, how is it not hydroponic? Maybe watch it again he says they are using coco in the bags which is soil less meaning hydroponic. Cheers

[@michaelallen7275]

Actually, the "original" hydroponic was done in soil. You can grow hydroponic in soil. the original hydroponic is what we today call a "grow box" using water below the soil with an air space between and having the roots go down to the reservoir to pick up nutrients with a draw system. That being said, I would have to disagree with you historically, and also, he did say he was using coco peat so that would also go against what you say if that is your argument.

Carlos needs some intensive English course

[@jetfly37]

Considering Carlos is speaking a foreign language in his own country, I think he’s doing great. How’s your Spanish? It must be good because your written English is terrible.

[@NicolenePotch]

@@jetfly37 Great answer!
