Is anybody here growing vegetables hydrophonicly?
The weather's too harsh where I live to grow outside without spending a ton of money
|
Are you talking indoors using artificial light or a greenhouse?
|
I used to grow pot and mushrooms hydroponically, but not veg.
|
Yeah it's so harsh around here you can't really grow outside it's too hot too cold to windy.
I want to grow heirloom vegetables and dwarf vegetables that chefs can use to design menus and plates around. I just wanted to know if anyone had experience I'm probably gonna start looking around for a place to set up I have a bunch of lights and air conditioners |
Using lights to grow vegetables isn't very cost effective. Build a small greenhouse to protect against the weather.

I have given it thought though. And I'm kind of afraid you're correct it's not economically feasible to grow vegetables hydroponically. Another really big issue out here is water. I want to try and set up some kind of water filtration system where I can reuse most of the water. I don't want to go with the aquaponics I don't want to mess around with a bunch of fish. Were i to set up production where I live now I would have to buy a water tank and have it regularly filled from a vendor. Water is one of the excuses they used to pull up all the grows out here in the desert. And the city out here, the municipality wants to somehow get meters on people's Wells. |
I was planning but only as a hobby, for decoration.

You could try the Kratky method of hydroponics.

I just grow in soil using artificial light, the whole hydroponic thing scares me a bit. Just like an indoor garden really, grow anything green. Hydroponic tent, lights, fan and pots for the soil.
