Aquaponics and Cannabis?? 50% faster growing rates healthier plants and more...
Hey everyone. I make regular posts on aquaponics on my blog on small gardens systems I have built as well as one or two of the bigger units, which got me thinking. Why not grow marijuana in aquaponics systems? On one of my previous posts and a few friends later we have a bit of a chat about growing it in aquaponics and came to the conclusion why not?
Now if you are not familiar with aquaponics it is the synergy of plants and fish in a closed system no pesticides allowed. This differs from hydroponics as the fish in aquaponics play the 'fertilizer' role where in hydroponics chemicals/fertilizers etc do that.
Below we have 110 mm pipes with 75 mm grow baskets planted with strawberries, spinach, lettuce, herbs and more. You are not able to see it in this pic but the 'fish water' is permanently circulated in the below pipes to feed and hydrate the plants. Strawberries thrive in these systems too by the way which was rather unexpected given the high nutrient demand, if they can, anything can literally or almost anything (I'm not too sure about things like potatoes, or oak tree's though ;)
This is a sneaky pic of the garden unit I made just look at those flourishing vegetables, can you imagine what you are able to do with Mary-Jane?
I have never done a cannabis/aquaponics specific blog. Now sadly to date I have also never grown cannabis in aquaponics. I plan to and blog about it from start to finish, but that all depends on how the cash situation looks and if I am able to raise the funds to do so. I am sure that in future we shall get there. What I will keep doing in the interim is blogging aquaponics answering any questions regarding it and advising/helping out where I can.
The 'fertilizer factory' rainbow trout, what an exciting fish!
Just imagine the volumes you will be able to achieve in a system like this?
Thanks for having a squizz, check out all my other aquaponics posts and don't hesitate to ask questions, I will gladly assist and advise accordingly.
Free the weed..

I LOVE FISH AND VEGGIES!
Aquaponics is something I long to set up. :) Great food for the family indeed. :) Thanks for putting this up!
What species of fish are you using and what type of feed? I'm a big fan of beet greens, have you grown beets/carrots/turnips? How did they do?

I was thinking about growing a cannabis plant with an aquaponics system but apartently there is low phosphorous level so hydroponics would be better.
No mate I don't think so.. you can substitute if there is an issue with nutrient deficiency and from my experience to date there isn't a thing that does'nt thrive in aquaponics including carrots, beetroot and other root veggies which is weird they demand high power and are permanently in water. Try it, You will have got there before me. But trust me I plan to and soon. Cheer$:)
pingapete is correct, historically. So far, man hasn't found the right combination of fish-food makeup and fish-species which produce a suitable blooming nutrient for cannabis. Awesome vegetative though, which is good if you're juicing high CBD plants! :)
(Signature is a work in progress. Working on keeping all the info while making it MUCH shorter. ;) )

It might work for cannabis in vegetative stage not flower because nitrogen level need to become lower but with more phosphorous added. I don't know if you can add those kind of stuff into the water with out harming the fish.
Come on oaks it works for every other plant on earth but cannabis? No way. I am a aquaponics guru granted tried everything to date other than weed .. but still .. Really?? You just motivated me more to prove you wrong .. hehehe ... game on ... Cheer$;)
