The use of Liquid Nutrient food for Hydroponic plants.
I am growing my first set of hydroponic vegetables. I have red oak and green oak leaf lettuce growing. Currently I have place for 84 plants in my growing system and they are all doing well, except the one at the water drain. Just happened to be over the down spout return for the nutrient and it never got wet. Died the second day! So I have 83 plants. I also switched out at the last minute a few of the lettuce for Kale and and a few other plant I was given from the Hydroponic farm. So when you think of planting in water you wonder how do the plants get their nutrients. Well like humans on a liquid diet you are fine as long as you get all the essential nutrient and vitmanis required for life. This is what the soil normally provides for the plants. But in our situation the soil is not being used so we must add the nutrient into the water for the plants to be healthy.
