what kind of nutrients do i need to grow hydroponic tomatoes and other vegetables. ive seen some that are really expensive but i dont want to pay that much just for tomatoes, i know those nutrients are also used to grow more “expensive” crops, i guess that is why they are so much.
i am making a setup with pvc pipes and will have a reservoir with water and whatever nutrients i need to add
thank you

i started a small hydroponic system in my greenhouse with an 18 gal tub following a youtube video the system has 12 net pots with half tomatoes (early girl) and half with strawberry’s. the strawberry’s are loving the system but the lower leaves on some of the tomatoes are turning a lite yellow with a pale purple tint what’s wrong with them? Could i have over done the nutrients? Or is it just some disease that followed the plants from the store?

…not because they are unclean, but because they are on a prescribed medication or protocol of nutrients and herbs due to a chronic illness? This person is not contagious, and has a great personality and way with people–unless they respond openly and negatively to her body odor. She bathes constantly. She cannot wear perfumes because she has severe chemical sensitivities or allergies. So, please do not make common assumptions or suggestions.
My question is what is the most polite and compassionate way to respond? I think people should just grow up and not make such a big deal out of something she cannot control. But I have seen her have to deal with bullying, gossip, laughter, people openly plugging up their noses in her presence, cashiers who make sure they don’t touch her hands, etc.. She is very brave, but is also wondering what most people are thinking. It takes time, but most people get over it, esp. once they get to know her. She has more to fear from strangers.
Please don’t make me out to be a saint. I am human, and I have had my share of health issues too.
I am telling you, this woman is great. She is funny; sexy; creative; a talented teacher, writer, and performing artist. The way some people react to her, I am amazed that she gets onstage at all. Once they get over it, I have seen audiences eating out the palm of her hand, esp. when she sings.
She is popular among most of her students, peers, and the artists who take the time to get to know her.
It’s the people who don’t take the time to get to know her who seem to think it is their right to harrass her or talk about her behind her back. She is a fine person–unless you cross her or openly react to her body odor.
Here’s another question: How can I (or she) learn to have compassion for the people who make fun of her or treat her like a leper? Maybe they are the ones with the bigger problems. Hmmm….
Plz star this one so that I can get a broad range of opinions.

I’m particularly new to the indoor growing scene but i know kinda the basics. I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers and tips on how to grow, what kinda lights, nutrients, and all that stuff.
Thanks…… (By the way I’m growing Marijuana indoors..) Plz no put downs or negative comments. I just need advice for growing.

I have an Aerogarden I got from a friend, but he tossed all the pods, and already used all the nutrients.
Anyone have any experience with replacing the plastic pods with homemade replacements, or know of a source for cheap generic replacements? And, for the sponge, has anyone tried refilling it with sphagnum moss? In general, what things besides the official sponges have you tried, and what has or hasn’t worked?
For the nutrients, do I need special “hydroponic” nutrients, or can I use a fairly standard fertilizer? If so, what specific characteristics does it need to have, and how much of it do I need to use? Can I just use the Schultz liquid fertilizer that I have (10/15/10 + micronutrients)?
Er… I’m talking about trying to grow 6 plants at a time in a little home hydroponics setup…
And I’m talking about trying to do it for $10 or less…

hey i have couple tomatoes plants and pepper plants growing on my window sill.. its doing very well and i cant wait to plant these babies outside when the nights get a little more warmer … just wondering what other herbs or veggies can i grow that keep the characteristics and nutrients pattern as tomatoes ?? meaning which other veggies require at least 5-8 hours of light and phosphorus nutrients.. reason i ask for phosphorus nutrient loving plants is because i already have this nutrients which i use for my tomatoes and peppers .. thanks

Suppose you provide some fruit or vegetable plants with sunlamps to provide sufficient light and fertilize the soil to provide sufficient nutrients.
BUT– cycle the lights on and off on a faster schedule than 24 hours. Say, a 6 hour day/6 hour night, giving them all the light and nutrients in 12 hours they’d get in an ordinary 24 hour cycle.
Can we get plants to ‘accelerate’ their growth/ growing season…? Plants don’t need to ‘sleep’, do they…?
I imagine they might only produce stunted or dwarf fruits or vegetables, but how much could we speed up their growth? Shorten the growing season…? Anybody know of any research on this?
If this isn’t clear, ask and I’ll provide more details.
Please, serious answers only! thanks!
