Questions
Answers
Q.Is there a
hydroponic unit that is all in one? Or do I have to
buy everything separate? Could I keep it in my kitchen?
A.Yes,
we have found The Garden that Jack Built from Homegrown Hydroponics is a good all in one kit.
Q.What do I do with the holes
in the garden that I'm not going to be using right
away?
A.If
the holes are left open the intense light will cause algae to
build up in the reservoir. (a bit of algae on top of the rocks
etc. is normal and not a cause for concern) Therefore you should
simply fill the mesh baskets with rock and insert in the holes.
Leave them empty until you are ready to use.
Q.I would like to buy
a small
system for around $100. I'm growing small plants and would like
to use rockwool.
A.The
Homegrown 4'
hydro harvest is $119.00. CDN and will sustain 8 small to medium plants.
It is 6" wide and comes with 'Leca' a clay medium to anchor
the roots. This garden comes complete with 2 part nutrient and
a pH kit to get you growing right away!
Q.I am interested in
trying hydroponic gardening in my basement. Could you advise me
on a small
to begin? At this point I have no equipment
apart from a bench and an overhead light fixture.
A.Take
a look at 'The garden
that Jack built'. It comes as a complete kit and would probably
be just right for you! To start you might want to get a 400W Metal
Halide.
