Many changes to the grow room occurred in the last two weeks. Thought I would wait and post all at the same time. With the EZ Clone, we needed more light above the unit. We installed a new 4 bulb T5 to replace the single bulb unit; installed an expansion kit of 5 pots onto the Ebb n Gro system to handle some of our larger root based plants; installed another LED, this time a 540 Watt "Mother Ship" from SuperNova; lastly a dehumidifier was added to remove excess humidity in the room. Doing so allowed us to turn the CO2 back on and wow what a difference.
General water changes continue with new nutrient mixes every two and a half weeks with plain water top-offs in between. We check pH and balance as necessary every few days. The CANNA nutrients are working so well for us we just can't imagine others would be better. We are following CANNA recommended doses of base (Aqua Flores or Agua Veg) and additional nutrients (Cannazyme, Rhizotonic, Boost, and PK13/14) according to plant growth stage.
Wish I had doubled the size of the room now !
Practicing Hydroponics illustrates and documents the implementation of theory and products available to hydroponic gardeners through a "live" personal grow room. My approach to vegetable gardening in this environment came from research conducted on the internet; through reading books; and the knowledge gained though visits to local stores specializing in hydroponics. I happily share my mistakes and success in order to provide you with how I put theory into Practicing Hydroponics!
