1. Hydroponic vegetables at home are clean and free of bugs, and the yield is sufficient to isolate and eat at home. Early preparation is much simpler than growing vegetables on the balcony~
2. Share a list, Let me tell you with your fingers what you need to prepare in the early stage of hydroponic vegetables. Okay, let’s start
3. The first category is a must-
4. Hydroponic tank/hydroponic pipe + water pump set: the place to hold water and nutrient solution, It is also the place where hydroponic vegetables take root. It should be noted that if the hydroponic tank is used, the water must be changed frequently, otherwise the oxygen in the water is not enough, and the roots of the vegetables will easily rot.
5. It is more appropriate to change it about once a week. Of course, it can also be connected to oxygen equipment , or if there is nothing to stir and stir – it is so troublesome that it is better to buy a pipeline, once in place, the pipeline is running water, there is no problem of hypoxia
6. Nutrient solution: The nutrients that plants need to get from the soil are now made into nutrient solution for it. Just like when you eat crayfish, you have to peel it yourself. This is soil culture; the couple next door has peeled it and fed it directly. This is the nutrient solution.
7. You can buy the elements in bags and make your own nutrient solution, but there is no need…I The nutrient solution used for 30 yuan can be used for two months, so worry about it, right?
8. Planting basket + planting cotton: fix the plants in the hydroponic box/hydroponic The things in the pipeline are generally purchased in sets
9, seeds + water + sunlight + Love: Although it is nonsense, I still want to add it, it seems that I am more rigorous
10, The second category is nothing, there are better ones——
11. Tray: The seeds of hydroponics need to grow into seedlings before transplanting. If you are more professional, you can buy a nursery tray. You can use bean sprouts when you don’t have seedlings. If you want to start simply, you can directly throw the seeds into the bowl and wait for them to sprout p>
12. The lid of the water tank: the water with nutrient solution is very special (three special) It is easy to grow green moss. Although it has no effect on the dish itself, it is really annoying to look at. A hydroponic tank with a lid and no sunlight will have much less green moss.
13. Water-soluble fertilizer: a large bag of a few dollars, add it once every two weeks, vegetables When the dishes are full, you can be full, right?
14. Anti-bird bag/bird repellent: I thought the bird was so cute! Since the strawberries and vegetables were ruined, now I just want to screw them off
15 , Of course, birds are protected animals, and ghosts are ghosts. If you want to protect the fruits of your labor, remember to put on a bird-proof bag. By the way, I haven’t found a particularly useful bird repellent yet… I will report back to you after I have done an evaluation.
16. Fill light: Generally speaking, there is no need to buy fill light when hydroponics equipment is placed on a bright, open, south-facing balcony. If there is only a backlight position, or if you want to grow indoors, you need to prepare a fill light.
17. Lighting is a bit troublesome to talk about, so I will write a special article next time Clearly, this time I only briefly talk about the pits that are easy to step on when purchasing.
18. The first is the spectrum: ordinary light bulbs are not enough, you must be optimistic when you buy them ! Full-spectrum lights, or red + blue fill lights.
19, the second is the light intensity: don’t look at a lot of lights that can blind your eyes when they light up , in fact, the intensity is far worse than the sun. The red + blue light strips I have seen so far basically have to be attached to the plants, and the intensity is enough. Pay attention when buying them
20. One more interesting thing. When I bought a lamp, there was a lamp marked with “100W”, but I figured it out, this lamp can’t have 100W? what happened?
21. When I asked customer service, the answer was: W here is not a tile, it is Model, the model of this lamp is 100W. Okay, I thank you
22, so the best light is sunlight, how long does it take? The sun is too hot, how do I choose a fill light when I can’t get the sun, I will write a special article next time~ Remember to pay attention to my public account: [Hey Ha Bishop]
23. The third category is highly likely to waste money and is not recommended for preparation——
24. Measuring equipment such as light meter, PH detector: Originally, I also wanted to plant scientifically, detect light, detect acid and alkali, detect water and oxygen… Later, I I found that I can’t use it at all when I bought it. The plants are really good to live, friends! Just plant it extensively and simply.
25, OK, I’ll count with you Settlement: The complete set of pipe hydroponics is about 300 yuan (72 planting holes); the hydroponic box is about 80 yuan (12 planting holes)
26. Of course, you can also buy 6 hydroponic boxes to make up 72 holes – but I advise you not to, it is too troublesome to give oxygen
27. You can buy one or two hydroponic boxes to play with and get in, I really like it When growing vegetables, in terms of time, input-output, and cost-effectiveness, it is better to buy pipes~
