Default Re: Banana Hydroponic's?

There are many water-soluble mineral formulas that are all natural, including the 20-5-30 urea-free formula that includes kelp meal for micronutrients. Alternately, you can pay 10 times as much per net pound of nutrients for liquid fish which also contains traces of machine oil.

I like to use natural fertilizers, so I was using liquid fish. I think that's what I am going do again this time, which is why I'm waiting until Spring and it can be outside. Liquid fish is quite smelly indoors in a hydro system, and you really can't mask the smell. I like to use Neem Oil, you can mask the smell of that with scented laundry detergent or scented liquid hand soap. Fish just can't be masked.
