i have heard of a idea of "hyper ventilating" please tell me if im just stupid and tired but is it true say if you enclose a hydroponic plant in a fish tank with the proper lighting and fill the tank for say 6 hours with co2 and then 6 hours of oxygen that the plant "hyperventilates" and forces the plant to suck up a lot of nutrients and makes it grow "beefier" and faster.

We are in a Agriculture class in Decatur, Illinois and we have a hydroponic test kit and we have just set up a hydroponic area where we are growing lettuce. We are trying to find out what is the exceptable ranges for growing lettuce. The ranges such as Nitrate Nitrogen range, Phosphorus range, Potassium range, Ammonia Nitrogen range, Sulfate range, Iron range, and Calcium and Magnesium range. This would help us a great deal if we would know these things. See similar questions...

Simple Solution combines advanced cleaners with beneficial bacteria and enzymes that digest the source of odor and stain causing residue. Nature's Miracle is an enzyme only product and lacks the essential technology of beneficial bacteria to remove the waste completely from the carpet. In Simple Solution, the bacteria eat the residue broken up by the enzymes. The by-product of this process is carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide and water are odorless and will evaporate in drying time. See similar questions...

Ron, I have just discovered your site, and I am finding it very useful, I am a bit of a back yard inventor and I have an idea for building a hydroponic setup using styro-foam can you tell me if there is any problem with this material being used in hydroponics, If not I would like to build a proto type and try it out, Thanks and keep up the good work, Thanks Chris Yes you can use Styrofoam packing peanuts also known as ghost turds or just about any inert porous material that can hold oxygen.

When the plants are young, every two weeks should suffice. With small nutrient tanks you may want to do it more often. When the plants are bigger, (eating and drinking more) it's best to change the solution every week to ensure optimum results. See similar questions...

How much you need to water depends on three things: the type of plants you're growing, the size of the plants, and the type of medium you're using. The first thing to decide is if your grow medium retains or repells water. You'll want your medium to dry out somewhat between waterings, so if you are using a medium that holds a lot of water, you'll need to water less frequently. See similar questions...

Hey Ron i was wondering if you can make your own Hydroponic Lights and in the 11 plant System do you need to put pea gravel in the cups or just the Plant by itself P.S You have really inspired me to a new Hobby Yes if you buy a ballast, a socket and a bulb. But then you have to wirer it all together. Home Depot has a 175 Watt HPS yard light for $50.00. See similar questions...

Hydroponic systems basically spoon-feed plants their perfect food; they are highly efficient systems. In soil, plants spend a great deal of time and energy growing a large root system to find food and water. Additionally, nutrients in soil must be broken down first before they can be used, if they're even present. With hydroponics, because food and water are delivered directly to the roots, the plant can spend its energy on producing more vegetation, larger fruit, flowers and vegetables.

Hi Ron I have grown Hydroponic Tomatoes going on three years now, I just ran into your web site. Maybe you can help me with a question I have? Would there be a quick way to take Chlorine out of my 75gal. tanks of water before adding my tomato formula. I know I could let it sit for 24 hours and that helps. But I was thinking maybe something quicker. I ask this too hopfully better my formula for the plants. I do have a page to see what I have been doing if you cut and paste http://face-up.tripod.

There are many brands of organic hydroponic nutrient on the market today. These nutrients are a bit more difficult to manage than 'regular' hydroponic nutrients, and they can cause problems if not managed correctly. Although you can use them, they do take a greater degree of skill and care to manage and can cause problems if not used correctly. Regular hydropnic nutrients contain mineral elements (such as nitrogen, calcium, etc.) that are immediately available to the plant. See similar questions...

It is important that you measure the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the water supply you intend to use. To obtain a meter to test it, go to the order page and purchase one. They are not expensive for fulfilling this valuable function Without this information you will not be able to get the mixing rate correct, and in some situations ? especially hydroponic growing ? this may lead to reducing the benefit derived in using OceanSolution.
