  6. After a few weeks of using only natural filter media, I think I have a good handle on how much I need and how frequently I need to cycle. #Aquatics #aquaponics #Hydroponics #Homegrown #Gardening

  7. Leaves turning purple on my flat leaf parsley… kinda cool looking but clearly an indicator that something is wrong, especially since I noticed wilting on other stems and generally slow growth (when compared with the basil in the same tank). Any ideas what’s going on and how to fix? allforgardening.com/1780238/le #hydroponics

  8. I never got to this in my video because my approach radically changed since writing the script. It didn't exactly matter for the video itself, but I think it's a good advice.
    Originally I thought that beginner #Kratky #hydroponics gardeners like me don't need to bother about EC, as leafy greens are tolerant (in my one-season experience, tomatoes are tolerant too). But should make effort to lower solution's pH to lettuce levels (around 5.8). Which is a struggle as I found pH meters to be drama queens, while my EC meter is more reliable.
    That was before I studied recommended EC/pH tables a lot, and also ran an experiment on my surviving kale, and then learned that it applies to all brassicas: they actually _like_ higher pH, and also like much higher EC, so if you have 'a bit hard' water like mine, you can ignore pH, scale the nutrients up to reach EC 2-2.5 (using a reliable non-fussy device to check), and be a happy owner of a garden with kale, pak-choy, mizuna, mustard greens, and a number of other 'cabbages'.
    I'm currently unsure why the 'hydroponic beginner default' is lettuce, while it's so much easier to grow brassicas.
    This year's young mizuna and pak-choy say hello (with sorrel in the front bottle).

  13. I am putting my tomato plant up for adoption. This is my first time gardening and I am very in above my head with this girthy girl. I am going to make signs around my apartment asking if someone wants to take her off my hands if I help them with repotting. Wish me luck! allforgardening.com/1776891/i- #hydroponics
