Organic Hydroponic System

#12317695 - 04/02/10 12:46 PM (16 years, 5 months ago)

So i wanted to make an organic hydroponic system that uses no nutrients. So I saw this design, here it is-
• take a plastic net pot or a coir container and fill it halfway with either: lava rock, hydroton, perlite, gravel, etc.
• make a 1/2 inch layer of rockwool, or coir.
• on top of the RW or coir fill the rest of the way up with the following: Organic Soil, Perlite, Vermiculite. 1:1:1 you can add nutrients to the soil, either by liquid nutrients or adding worm castings etc. Just make sure when adding Liquid nutrients to not let it drain down into the resevoir. It will contaminate the water and turn it into toxic soup.
• set in a ebb and flow system and let it run to where water only gets close to the rockwool or coir and does not touch the soil.

So the top 1/3 of the roots is for nutrient delivery, and the bottom roots will be the more stringy like roots for water delivery. 2/3.

I really love this design and in turn you get luscious organic plants without any work other than res changes. You do not need to add nutrients, check ppm/ec, or pH. It pretty much takes care of it's self. I've seen one person have it to grow amazing marijuana plants, and I was wanting to give it a go with some nicotiana tobacum. My uncle who owns a tobacco farm in Kentucky has a giant warehouse specificly made for starting tobacum seedlings hydroponicly. I was wondering what you guys thought of the design and if you tobacum can be grown great hydroponicly. Thanks my Ethno Garden Buddies!

Will a tobacum plant do good in an organic system?
