Hello everybody. I'm a noob here and to bananas in general. I am an avid hydroponic/aeroponic gardener, I currently have 2 grows going on, a 16 site bucket style Deep Water Culture setup growing red peppers under a 400 watt HPS and a 24 site aero chamber growing 2 types of loose leaf lettuce undera 125 watt CFL. In the past I have grown all sorts of food, and flowers in all sorts of different home built setups, thats what I like so much about it, the DIY aspect, and seeing the outcome after a grow is finished.

I have built a waterfarm style bucket and tomorrow will be picking up a Dwarf Cavendish to try to grow in it. Havent found much info on growing them hydro. I'm sure I can concoct a good nute formula with enough trial and error (I use general hydroponics 3 part flora series nutes) but if anyone has some suggestions on that NPK levels. Also how wet does the tree like to be? If you dont know what a waterfarm is it is a drip style hydro system that pumps water from the res up to the drip ring by an air pump, not a water pump. How often, and how long should it drip for?

No artificial light for this plant, just a very bright corner of my living room, with both a south and an east facing window.

I am not really growing this with goals of high yields or amazingly fast growth as you would expect someone to start growing hydro in pursuit of. I simply love hydro, and I think a hydro banana plant would make an awesome conversation piece. As long as the plant remains healthy I will be happy.

Thanks
Dan
