RE: Biffy's Hydroponic Set-Up - Day 15
My Personal experience with cutting and transplant into growing mediums. Like dirt, what you are trying to duplicate.
Soil consistence IE, what it is made of
How wet is it.
Temperature
Soil organism to stimulate germination.
Just as an observation your soil look vary wet. In soil most seed like damp in the garden group.
Thanks for the Post.
Thank you for your observation and feedback. So you think I am drowning them out?
My guess but then I have never used hydroponics to sprout seeds like this. used seed in a small pot or in just straight perllit then transplant to the growing medium. Although fascinated with this technology I no longer do it. Partly because the are not as energy efficient than growing in real soil. The other is the soil organisms that convert chemical into a form that plants can eat. I have heard of organic hydroponics were they move the soil organisms to the liquid medium. ether by creating the right mixture of micro organisms and eat, taking of the liquid extracted from soil processes or a combination of both.
immediate think in terms of providing the environment needed to sprout the seeds. Seed sellers have lots of detail on this.
All very helpful information. Thank you for your wisdom. I have absorbed what you have said here.
