For bananas in hydroponics:
  1. Start the plants on water-soluble "Urea Free 15-5-15 Cal-Mag Plus", 100ppm constant feeding (1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water in the system once per week).
  2. When the plants are about 3 feet (1 meter) high -- i.e., about 1 year from flowering: also use "Urea Free 5-11-26", 100ppm constant feeding.

Both of these are manufactured under the Scotts brand and others, in 25 lb bags.

For ideas on your homemade system, browse through the online Hydrofarm catalog.
