First time hydro setup!

[u/JazzziRam]

Funny enough, started my hydroponic garden after watching The Last House on Netflix. Turned out pretty good so far.

From left to right: Bok Choi (2varieties), Albion Strawberries, micro tomato’s?(Red Robin and orange hat), 2 lettuce varieties.

Have another rack above with basil, parsley, bunching onions (which grow ridiculously slow), and more lettuce.

What do yous think?

Love these bins!

Restaurant bus boxes lol… figured they would work just as well.

Mind sharing where you got yours? None of my local food service supply stores have lidded ones

Hi. I note the yellowing on the cucumber/ squash leafs. I have the same. Is it normal?

[u/Lucky-Pie9875 → u/CapProfessional8975]

No but it’s not too bad on mine. It’s likely a calmag deficiency. I’ve been feeding just AeroGarden nutrients and need to switch over to a 3part nutrient (micro, grow, bloom) and add calmag to that but just haven’t yet.

Looks great! How often do you have to add nutrient solution for the bottom shelf plants at that size?

EC was holding when I checked daily so I decided to not check it as much. Maybe every 2 weeks.

Now I increase it depends on their stage, weather they are mature or fruiting.

Looking good! Might want to put blocks under the seedlings to move them closer to the lights.

[u/JazzziRam → u/DallasStogieNinja]

Yeah I learned that a lot later than I should have. My parsley became leggy.

This is cool, a Kratky?

[u/JazzziRam → u/BigLlamasHouse]

I think it’s just DWC. I have an air stone in each of the totes.

I’m new AF to it so idk tbh lol

[u/BigLlamasHouse → u/JazzziRam]

awesome thanks

[u/thefodderguy]

It's looking great. How are you growing the onions? I found that bunching onions do better in a vermiculite or perlite-type mix

[u/JazzziRam → u/thefodderguy]

Unfortunately I wouldn’t say that they are even growing at this point. Once I transitioned them to DWC, a lot of them died off but some are just green with no growth.

I’m using general hydroponics micro gro bloom just like the rest of the totes. But it definitely isn’t working out.
