Why should you use hydroponics to increase your yields? The same reason you started a garden! If you have ever had a successful harvest, you know the feeling I’m talking about. Some growers are discouraged by organic fertilizers when it comes to hydroponic gardens. Fear not growers, water soluble organic fertilizers are available online and at local hydroponics shops. Some greens can even be grown using tiny amounts of fertilizers. Basils, lettuce, mesclun, and other leafy plants can be grown organically in hydroponics system with very little fertilizer.
Organic indoor gardens can be maximized with the use of hydroponics. Organic hydroponic systems are like normal hydroponic gardens, but with a little more care to detail and quality.
The salad mix in the picture was started in a jiffy pot full of soil. When the seeds sprouted, the jiffy pots were put into a mini DWC system. The roots grew through the soil and into the DWC environment. There was explosive root growth when the roots entered the high humidity environment.
The salad grew very fast under simple CFL lighting. Small hydro setups can produce big results with the right knowledge.
Thanx dude…………….I like your post………its interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice harvest 🙂
I cant wait til the heat dies down to get my NFT gutter system started for my lettuce and greens. Im thinking about making a worm compost tea for the NFT nutrients. I have plenty of worm urine and castings to put it to good use. Im running low on money, so this will have too work 🙂 I cant buy any more nutrients, so Im going to go the all natural route. I will post on my blog the tea brewing process =)
Keep up the great work and excellent post!

@Outdoor Hydroponics – Thank you very much! The salad was really flavorful, the arugula was very tangy.
There are plenty of ways to set up all natural tea bags for hydroponic systems. The only difference between the compost tea and the nutrients you buy is hydroponic nutrients are supposedly stabilized for hydroponics so you don’t get huge PH swings. I’ve heard of many successful harvests with organic worm castings and soil put into tea bags and brewed into water.
