Setting up a Hydroponic Herb Garden
metalchick832 said:PHup and PHdown are things that I always keep on hand because I breed a variety of tropical fish and goldfish. I have over 40 aquariums in my house, so I buy that **** by the gallon! LOL!
Okay, I think I'm going to go ahead and hit Petsmart for a few good airstones. That is something else that I have plenty of, but I have small ones, and I think I like the large round ones that this guy used more. I have over 300 seeds (trash from my tray) so I guess it can't hurt to experiment with a few of them huh? LOL!
The Hemp Goddess said:I use a system like this for my clones and the vegging stage. In fact I have had better luck with this DWC system for my clones than I have had with a commercial aeroponic unit that I bought last year. When they go into flowering, they go into a 5 gal bucket DWC system.
I am, however, going to work on a DWC/aeroponic system that can be made easily with readily available parts.
Object505 said:just read somthing about a method of hydro called Aquaponics. In theory you can grow right in the water of a fish tank because the fish provide everything the plant needs to live. I don't know if this works. I can imagine the fish might eat the roots of they could.
Jaie said:Until I got my set up I used aquaponics. It's basically the method of "toss some seeds(sprouted or not) in your fishtank and hope for the best". Did it work? Yup. Gave me some pretty decent plants too. You can't use a filter however, as that will possibly chew up the seeds. You can add on later when they are sprouted and set into your tank's medium. (rocks or marbles or whatever) the fish in there keep air moving. It's not a bad method, just kind of generic.

I managed to get my unit from http://www.gardensalive.com they had sent me a $25 off any purchase coupon (no minimum order either) and I got this unit http://www.gardensalive.com/product.asp?pn=2832&ss=hydroponics
$59.95 and then the $25.00 off, with shipping I paid well under $50 for the basic set up. I'll add better lights to it later. But it's a good price even without the coupon.
metalchick832 said:How do you get a plant that is submerged in water with 24 hour light to flower. I mean, a fishtank light is on 24/7... or at least mine usually are to keep my fish's water warm enough. Do you use the same light cycle as you would for indoor growing??
