Hydroponic Fertiliser

No comments
It is hardly rocket science but I finally have the correct mixtures and the new tomato plants are in the buckets. I bought the fertliser in two parts from the local HortiShop. The fertiliser solution consists of two packets mix A and mix B. Each mixture must be added to its own 5 litre water container. Both mixtures are then added to the reservoir according in amounts according to the plants growth stage.

The starting amounts are 1mm of both mix A and mix B per litre of water which will be stepped up as the plants grow. If you start out with a solution that is two strong you can damage the plant in the early stages. This time round I planted the Floradade Tomato variety this time which I have read is extremely heat tolerant, so they should be better suited to life in my greenhouse.
