So many people commented when I posted something about my garden, and almost all of them asked me to upload something about getting started with hydroponics. It make me think about create something to help others get started with hydroponics. But believe me, I'm not that skilled in this field. I'll try to help a little.
We'll get started, but I'm making it very long so you can understand and have a long way to go. I'll make a small disclaimer: hydroponics can fail at first, and you should never give up. Have you ever heard of learning by doing? That's what it's like, so please don't be discouraged.
At first, it's just about preparing the necessary tools and materials. Nothing expensive; you can even use a few simple tools and plastic waste from around the house. It's like a challenge to see how you can use something. But since I have it, this is what I'll introduce.
This is a tool that I don't actually use for all the seeds I plan to plant hydroponically. However, this is the most important thing to use when growing kale seedlings. I have three different sizes, each with different functions, but I usually use the densest one for sowing water spinach seeds.
Two things that are very helpful in growing and maintaining hydroponics. This is where the seeds begin to grow into something valuable. Place the very small seeds and they will grow to two leaves, and so on. The rockwool will hold its shape very well if you cut it using this simple tool.
These are the three types of seeds i will use. However, I'll be using these water spinach seeds; they taste the best of all the seeds available: Bangkok water spinach. They can't be beat, and they're also inexpensive.
They're small, but once the seeds are sown, they need a container like this to deliver nutrients to the roots so they can grow well and perfectly.
I always use flannel cloth as a wick to direct water from the bottom up. It has excellent absorbency and is the cheapest, but if you have this type of fabric or some old clothes, you can use them too.
A combination of two chemical solutions that will give your vegetables the opportunity to grow well under at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
I like using leftover Styrofoam boxes because they're much more durable than plastic (and of course, because they're cheaper). Use the lids to create a suspended water supply that nourishes the vegetables.
Call me Isdarmady, sometimes Mady, Putra or anything you want. I have a pretty long name but call me very nicely. There are many things I like, especially hydroponics and coffee, sometimes I also like traveling and eating whatever I want. Life should be like that, there must be many things you like so you can live well. Of course, what you want is a dream, so, when you have a dream then what you have to do is to achieve that dream, don't just let it be a dream.
There are many things I tell on my Blog, I hope you like it. Never hesitate to leave a comment, because your comments mean so much to keep me moving forward.
My english so bad, but I try to be better. I hope we can be friends without thinking about our backgrounds. Let's keep this community better and better known by the wider community.
Thanks for read, vote, re-blog and support me in Hive. Maybe god will reward the kindness, let’s success together.
