@Erikhaos Fail. In most cases, depending on climate, you won’t need to water certain plants separate from natural rainfall once they are well established (2 weeks?). In fact, tomatoes in particular do BEST when not watered frequently, it encourages the roots to grow deeper (rather than staying near the surface), looking for water that’s already there and making it more drought-resistant…. It’s not like it’s NOT gonna rain cuz you’re not growing something in the ground, so might as well use it.

save forest and fauna, grow hydroponic
save the water, (hydroponic uses 1/10 of the water used in soil agriculture)

obviously you have an inferiority complex, have fun with that , again , im a cool ass mother fucker trying to share with someone else, and oyu have to jump in as if your right, better , or super hip on all the new methods.. your none of the above, your no better than anyone else, and i guess your too stuborn and closed minded to accept someone elses methods ideas. sorry you can tollerate different methods. pretty sad.

the device and method used to get the PH reading IS a new technology.
Theres an older device, which was not as reliable.
your an asshat. who lives in the dark.
now its the end

this isnt new technology , im not new to this. your a jerk off. end of conversation .

Wrong, these new digital meters are 99.5% accurate.
the new ones use 3 dipoles and measure current.
Again. its a NEW technology, try to keep up.

saturation into soil isnt consistant , try your meter in 6 different spots in any given container, and theyll be different, again , i like to have consistancy and cleanlyness and know 100% what is truely being injested by my plants, so yeah , like it or not , i stick to my original statement that you 90% agreed with , also , did you weigh your soil , how did your math last the life of the soil , compensating for loss of nutes through run off. what were they replaced with. call me out..LOL

wheres the attitude coming from . im here to try and help and lean , not be a jerk off like your being. i think i made some valid points . but theres no need for your douchebaggery. meanwhile , this is a hydroponic video , so i thought id share some input. this is what trying to be helpfull to someone gets me. maybe YOU should try to keep up, with the topic. BRAH…. im talkin ppm, and i need to catch up. please…punk

Wrong: for $5 you
can get a device on ebay you put in the dirt after “normally watering” and get a read out DIRECTLY on a dial. no color coded charts and chemicals.
Its a brave new digital world, you should try to keep up.

Again not true, theres newer methods now where you simply take soil samples, add your test chemical to that. and get a reading based off color.

yeah , but checking ppm in soil is a lot harder to do accurately, you have to almost flush the plant and catch the run off to test it, and then youve lost your “true” value of what your working with . i understand the chemestry , but id rather use ph balanced products with organic origin. soil is great too . i just find it harder to maintain accurately.

I agree with 9/10 of t hat
Soil PH is easily controlled with liquids
Baking soda in water for example.
boom, increased PH

i like the concept of hydroponics in circumstances where i don’t want the mess of soil indoors (like in a small apartment or something), but other than that, it seems much more trouble than it’s worth.

soil cant be controled ( Ph wise) as thouroughly or accurately as a hydroponic system , theres less places for bugs to hide, you controle 100% of what goes into the plant, and less mold/root rot issues….

so why not just put soil in the pot?

That’s right! I moved my aeroponic system outside and it turned into a jungle!

please take a look at my system for cherry tomatoes using coco coir. (which is coconut fiber) it works very very well and is very cheap!

when you feed on water for the last two weeks or so to flush nutrients from fruit how do you go about doing this if not all the tomatoes have rippened? If not all the fruits have rippened how do you go abut flushing. this is a problem with hydro

really nice. I’m surprised you don’t get any aglae with the clear containers. what nute are u using? check my system out and let me know what you think please

No its the hydroponic methods that make them grow faster, the artificial light is often the thing that holds them back if the hydro system is working properly. For example..sunlight is much better for a plant since it puts out all the wavelengths necessary for the plant at a greater intensity that artifical. For a visual, take a high power light outside in full sun and turn it on..chances are your not going to see much of a change between on and off since the sunlight overpowers it completely.
