Hi, I'm doing a science project on hydroponic farming, using the Water Culture method, i need to know how to get the best results, especially with pea plants & carrots, if anyone can give me some advice, than post it on the bulletin board, please address it to J.S. of Fl hi ! i am interested in starting a hydroponic vegetable garden as a business, what size should the garden be to be commercially viable ? would appreciate a reply.

All wells in the system in both Grimes and Montgomery Counties are tapped into the same aquifer and consequently have a close pH range of around 7.1 - 7.27. (Note: pH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral, a pH level above 7 indicates alkalinity, and pH levels of less than 7 indicate acidity.) See similar questions...

Essentia Water uses a proprietary process called Ionic Separation. There are two ions in water. One is negatively charged (alkaline) and the other is positively charged (acidic). This process uses electrolysis to electrically split water into alkaline and acidic streams. We bottle only the alkaline stream. In doing so, we are bottling the water that has had the acidic ion removed, which naturally raises the pH of the remaining water. See similar questions...

Ron, I want to do a hydroponic study with my school. Could the 11 plant system work in a classroom or do we need to build a greenhouse? Do you know of anyone willing to donate a system to my school--Calvary Baptist School, New Orleans, La. See similar questions...

It is well known that the body fluids of healthy people tend to be more alkaline (high pH) and the body fluids of sick or diseased people are acidic ( low pH). Healthy blood, spinal fluid and saliva are normally at a pH of 7.4. This alkaline state is necessary for cell growth, cell function and cell repair. It has been proven that cancer cannot grow in an alkaline solution because an alkaline solution will hold oxygen at a high level (Cause and Prevention of Cancer, Biochem Zeits, 152: 514-520).

University-based research indicates drinking ionized water with a pH between 8.0 and 9.5 is optimal. This is better than drinking ionized alkaline water at pH 10.0 and higher. This data comes from a test reported by the Dept. of Internal Medicine, Ohkura National Hospital & Dept. of Internal Medicine, Shiga University of Medical Science in Japan. The notion that the higher the pH the better it is for you is not correct. Moderation is the key here. See similar questions...

pH is a term used to describe the measurement of how alkaline or acidic something is. In the case of hydroponic gardening, it means how acidic or alkaline the nutrient solution or growing medium is. Plant nutrient uptake is what nutrients the plant takes up. How much plants take up is dependent on the solution being within a certain pH range. Most pH ranges are often around 5.5 to 6.2.

the level of 8.5 to 9 of pH value, water is best absorbed into the body. However, neutral tap water or acidic water produced from a R/O system may not be suitable for you temporarily due to large difference of mineral content. Therefore, it is recommendable to drink water on stage 1 (pH value is 7.5 to 8) initially, and then drink ionized water in which pH value is 8.5 to 9 (generally, on stage 2 at home depending on water pressure).

The AQ-4000 will reduce TDS, iron, and rust down to .5 microns (40 times smaller than what is visible to the human eye). See similar questions...

The pH factor should be close to neutral (7). Any pH between 6.5 and 7.5 is good. Remember, 1 is very acidic and 14 is extremely alkaline. Only salt mills and grinders having metal grinding mechanisms will cause a reaction with the salt. Ceramic mills and grinders are recommended. See similar questions...

The pH of the three wells in the Evans Creek valley is 7.0. The two wells on the plateau have a pH of 7.6. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. 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...

The zeolite in solution is a negatively charged molecule with a cage-like structure that is able to trap positively charged hydronium ions. These ions lower the pH or make it more acidic. By eliminating them, liquid zeolite helps balance the pH to a more neutral, alkaline level. See similar questions...

Over time, when alkaline water comes in contact with air, the water's pH will start to revert to back to a neutral pH of 7. Simply put, the minerals contained in the water will start to precipitate into solid form when the water is in contact with carbon present in the air. See similar questions...

These products are meant for use in water that contains less than 150 ppm calcium hardness. Have your dealer test your water to ensure that your calcium level is below 150 ppm before using any of these products. If your water does cloud, the filter will remove the cloudiness, but you should clean the cartridge after the water clears. Once the water clears, the spa will resume normal operation.

Well, probably. The MA 6S will not be damaged but you will obtain much less power output, and an extremely hot amplifier. To protect itself the MA 6S will current limit to the best of its ability. The MA 3 will current limit also and its fan must be set to high speed. Be forewarned that running below rated impedance voids the warranty and may damage the amplifier channels as well as power supply. See similar questions...

The scale that is used for measuring the pH, or hydrogen ion concentration, is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being the neutral point. An "Acidic Body" means that the pH of the blood is below 7.0 and an "Alkaline Body" is above 7.0 with the ideal pH being 7.35. Outside of this range the body activity is no longer optimal and the metabolism is out of balance. See similar questions...

The IE-300 comes with pH testing fluid to let you know the system works. For precise technical measurements, the use of a calibrated pH meter is necessary. However, the test fluid works well enough to give you a general indication and you can optionally test the unit whenever you want. See similar questions...

The ideal range is different for different plants, but the general range for plant survival is between 5.0 and 7.5. Any lower and delicate plant tissues can be burned and any higher may cause some nutrients to precipitate out of solution, making them unavailable for uptake. It is also important to take into the considration the fact the different nutrients can only be absorbed at certain pH levels. The optimum pH range seems to be between 5.8 and 6.5. .
