Loman, are your plants just in water with “the fertilizer”?
You are an eingineer, of course, to put all that contraption together. Are your plants give injections of 10-10-10, liquified? I’m curious. I’m just a beginner.

>>Loman, are your plants just in water with “the fertilizer”?

Water from the fish-trough (Rubbermaid 100 gallon stock tank) is pumped up through the grow tubes for 5 minutes every half hour.

It’s an adaptation of Nutrient Film technique that’s popular in hydroponics.

>>Are your plants give injections of 10-10-10, liquified?

Nope, no injections. Just fish poop and water so far.

I’ve worked with a few, but not one myself.

Thanks FRiend.
