BDK, I admire your ambitious experiment. I agree with @Budofpray she will likely get hungry. On my last trip to St Augustine, Florida I bought a bottle of Fountain of Youth water, bottled at the source where Ponce de Leon declared it was magically restorative in the early 1500s. Whatβs your address?
Best wishes for a good harvest!
OMG i was looking for a water plant for my basin πΈβ¦. but I can not believe this result alreadyβ¦.may be the clay Peebles are full of nutes ?? π€£π€£ or may be your tap water is β’οΈ π« π
@BigDaddyK, my tap water measures 230ppm @ 6.8pH. pH the water down to 5.9 and one can easily grow out a plant just off the minerals in the water alone. Cool that you are doing it this way, curious to see the results!
So this is a kratky hydroponic grow with 0.4 EC tap water ?
My tap is at 0.8 I usually dilute it with rain water before watering my plants.
I wonder how far you could get along with that.
Have you considered adding a bit of urine? I know, resources are scarce, climate change, and guys recently figured out how to use urine to make bricks...but in this case, I think it would make for a welcome nutritional supplement.
