#hydroponic container

[hydropro-washington1]

If you have been associated with farming or agriculture recently, you might have encountered the term known as hydroponics. It cultivates plants in nutrient-rich water, with any medium like soil, sand, or gravel.

Hydroponics is derived from the Greek word hydro, which means water, and ponos, which means labour. Together, they come as the cultivation that supports plant growth in the vertical position that holds the moisture and oxygen the plant will need.

Scanning brains? Huh. Wonder what that's all about.

I like this trash-eating poluxkin lady. She's very useful to have around. It would really suck if something bad happened to her.

Trip, bro. MTF Nine-Tailed-Fox is supposed to handle containment breaches. What the hell are you doing? Get to work before—

NO!! I can't believe something bad happened to Tupelo after I was just singing her praises. Who could have seen this coming??

Me. I could have seen this coming when I noticed Alistair dropping bioferrite to wedge the door to the containment cell open, but it didn't register as a problem until after Nexorust escaped, lmao. Sorry Tupelo.

My little indoor hydroponics setup is showing some signs of life!

I have 2 beefsteak toms, 2 cherry toms, and 2 jalapenos in my 6 pod Aerogarden.

In my knock-off 15 pod hydroponic garden, I have golden cherry toms and yellow plum toms peaking out. None of the other pods are growing yet, but no other pods have tomatoes. They are all peppers, and I am noticing that pepper plants take about 5 days longer to pop out their sprouts.

In some traditional dirt pots I have catnip, oregano, basil, and cilantro herbs going from seed.

I also have some pots of strawberry and pineberry going.

Next week, I'm going to pot plant some companion flowers like dandelion, daisy, sunflower, and marigolds.

Stay safe out there!

3-inch hydroponic pots are ideal for small to medium-sized plants. They provide excellent drainage and root aeration.

Aquaponics combines two growing methods, aquaculture and hydroponics, to create a self-contained, well-balanced ecosystem. Fish are fed and raised in a tank and as gravity pulls the wastewater through a hydroponic garden, bacteria feed on the waste, breaking it down into essential nutrients for the plants to grow. The system then returns the cleaned water back to the fish reservoir so the process can begin again.

Growing "seasons" indoors

I stuck my (indoor) strawberries in the fridge to convince them it was winter, so they'll go dormant and hopefully decide it's fruiting season again when I pull them out. But I kept a few out because they were little bitty and didn't have real roots yet. Three survived, rooted, and are now big beautiful plants with runners of their own, but they're not blooming. Do I trick them into thinking it's winter now, too? Do I just wait?

All of the articles are about OUTSIDE strawberries. "Cover with mulch." Yeah, I don't think that applies here. "Allow them to experience one or two frosts before storing in a garage or other outbuilding." I do not have an outside, what makes you assume I have outbuildings. Please tell me how they decide it's time to bloom so I can make pretend seasons in the inside. "Plant in loamy soil." Yeah, they're in expanded clay pellets sitting in fish tank water, we are way past that. TELL ME HOW THEY KNOW WHEN TO BLOOM. Do they need "winter," or just more time? Google apparently does not know, but it's going to pretend it does, then tell me all about overwintering (outside) strawberries instead.

I could just put them in the fridge for three to five months and see what happens, but I haven't figured out how to do that without losing some to fungus. The current batch is sitting in low-concentration copper solution, we'll see if I can revive them come "spring."

So my two beefsteak and my two cherry aerogarden babies have made their official dirt debut. This next few days are crucial in these four little plant lives. I lose a lot of plants in the transition from water to soil. I'm not sure what it is that I do wrong, and if anyone reading this has any suggestions, pls pass those on! I'd be grateful.

In the meantime, I put some organic fertilizer in the soil this time, and I will be checking their moisture levels daily to try to keep them alive and producing!!

9/7/23 ~ Started school, been learning greenhouse hydroponic stuff & harvesting some veggies & flowers! I’m loving it so far.

I really need to start some of my seeds at home. I started pumpkin in august - I need to transplant it. And I have some Chinese broccoli growing as well. I don’t have a lot of experience with fall/winter gardening. So I’ll share as I go 😅 Trials and errors 😆

🌿indoor garden update: hydroponics edition🌿

I got a grow light, a fan from a yard sale, higher quality soil from my local plant nursery and some hydroponic gardening supplies since my last post. And now i have plenty more plant children!!!

My kitchen scrap radishes and green onions didn't survive, due to a fungus gnat infestation in the soil I used. I managed to save most of my other plants, but the soil those two were in was so infested I had to get rid of them :( but I have added: hot peppers, chives and cherry tomatoes!! Those are the larger pots in the middle of the wood shelf. Two of those started sprouting!! The chives haven't sprouted yet but I have hope. And the tomato plant I had last time got so big I had to separate the seedlings and put them in individual pots:

Theres seven total but i only took a pocture of these six. They're doing very well!! They love the banana fertilizer I made. And I've added some more seedlings to my greenhouse: (first image) more basil, lavender, pepprmint, parsley, catnip and sage. As well as thyme and oregano in the second image here:

I poked holes in the bottom of a recycled spinach container and used that for the thyme and oregano.

Now for my hydroponic jars: butter lettuce (2), Chile peppers (2), cilantro, spinach, bok choy, emerald oak lettuce, and romaine lettuce. These are doing really well too!! This butter lettuce is grown from scraps:

I put it in a coffee filter net i rigged up until my hydroponic supplies arrived, and i transferred it once i got them. So i thought i messed it up and killed the plant but she's growing!! She's strong too. And here's the others that are growing from seeds:

The romaine lettuce and the bok choy are the ones in the back that have the tallest sprouts. I can't wait to take pictures of all the jars once the root systems grow more and I can remove the socks!!!

Oh and here's the orchid. She's doing amazing:

[Image ID: the first image shows my whole indoor greenhouse tent in front of a permanently sealed glass door. All my plants are visible in the image with the pink orchid being the star of the show at the top of a capital A shaped wooden shelf and the sunlight is shining through the glass and feeding all the plants. A table and chair set and a peach tree is somewhat visible, outside in the background.

The second image shows six terracotta colored plastic pots with two-ish inch tall tomato seedlings in each one. They're healthy and happy, and one pot has a yellow gnat sticky trap sticking out of the soil on the side of the pot.

The third image shows a plastic bin full of eleven biodegradable seedling starter pots, these are the basil, parsley, pepprmint, catnip, lavender and sage, and three of the cups towards the top of the image are sprouting but it's hard to see. The fourth image right next to the last image shows a recycled clear plastic spinach container filled with soil with a cardboard divider in the middle and another yellow gnat trap against the divider, sticking out of he soil. No sprouts yet. There's also recycled plastic wrap on one of the edges for trapping the humidity in the planter but it's pulled back for now.

The fifth image shows a wide mouth mason jar full of nutrient water and a beautiful butter lettuce plant growing out the top, out of a black net cup thats touching the water inside the jar. The biggest leaves are about three inches long. My hand is visible in the image as I'm holding the jar.

The sixth image shows six larger wide mouth mason jars with the same arrangement, though the clay pellets im the black net pots are still visible since these are younger plants. The two jars in the back have the tallest sprouts and the two in the middle have smaller sprouts. The two in he front have no sprouts as I planted thoe seeds just yesterday. A part of my grow light is visible in this image, it's got four long lights attached to one base and all the long lights are facing out on different directions but one light is showing. All the plant jars have black socks covering the glass parts which will be removed when strong root systems grow in.

The final image shows my pink orchid. It's hook shaped, so the plant is growing upright and to the left a bit. And she's supported by a stick holding her up. But she's healthy and happy and all her flowers are soft and vibrant. Her leaves at the bottom are a dark but beautiful green and shes currently living in a white pot. End ID]
