built a garage in the mid 70s. 28 by 24 ft. Williston north Dakota. 45 miles from the Canadian border. floor heat. 40,000 btu, 40 gallon hot water heater. wish I had a picture green grass year round around the garage. cheaper to heat the garage than the house both had a cement slab. funny seeing green grass against a 3 ft high snow drift. working under a car it was sooo warm it would put me to sleep. there are people here, who maybe have most of the materials and the inclination to attempt such a project. I am in florida and there is no need for this here. just throwing something out. |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
Plant doing well, photos soon.
Growth has slowed indoors . |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
Last post 12-19.....
Plant is good with diminished light ( 30 % ) maybe... Pup in doing good in the last photo... Is the plant awesome....no. But it is a good indicater of what you can do with almost nothing. A few plants were grown under these easy low low maintenance conditions. Plants growing are awesome...under all conditions:bananas_b |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
It's the first time the hydro dwarf cavendish in the front row has seen real daylight.
The hydro pup in the white container will be separated once the air temps are averaging 65-70 degrees in about 30 days. I plan on growing lettuce and tomatoes for BLT's . ![]() Hydro preliminary setup by Hostafarian, on Flickr |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
I went to separate the Super Dwarf Cavendish pups today and found another pup and a tree frog in the reservoir.
Roots and water smell good. I did sever the largest pup from the stock plant but decided to not separate yet because the roots are wound pretty tight. Things are a little cramped in the(five gallon bucket) reservoir so I might keep everything together and use a larger container. I have to have somewhere to put it in the winter. So far this has been interesting to watch and I encourage anyone to try growing any plant hydroponically. Brugmansia is an awesome starter plant for a simple setup. . ![]() Two hydroponic pups. by Hostafarian, on Flickr . ![]() Root structure after being overwintered. by Hostafarian, on Flickr ![]() Totally cold hardy......just kidding by Hostafarian, on Flickr |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
I agree. Anyone can do this, and there are many ways to make it happen. A simple aquarium air pump and stone can get you on your way.
It's fun to experiment with different plants. FYI ginger loves growing in hydro. |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
Has anyone tried Gunnera Manicata in hydro? I hear that the biggest challenge with this plant is satisfying it's thirst for water. That would solve the problem.

Re: Hydroponics for begginers
My plant did a few days of 110 heat,,,,
Looking kind of stressed. The plant looks better in post 47..... and that is in winter Roots and water look good water smells earthy. |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
Because of overcrowding in the 5 gallon hydro bucket I split and slightly root pruned two pups off the main Dwarf Cavendish and planted them in a soilless mix a few weeks ago.
So they went from a hydro bucket to 2 gallon containers with a soilless mix I had expected total root loss in the transfer but it did not happen as much as expected. The pups kept some roots The two small pups are adjusting to the soilless mix so far. They did have some leaf wllt and leaf loss but they are sorting themselves out. |
Re: Hydroponics for begginers
Substrates.
Besides leca,perlite ,and rockwool just to name a few and few of my horticultural cohorts are using Fluval stratum as a substrate in their hydroponic builds. Stratum is an aquarium substrate similiar to miniture leca used for planted tanks. |
