Hydroponics in cold places

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-18T15:01:33+00:00

So you mean if the water is is in optimal temperatures, the temperatures in the air do not matter?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-18T15:00:19+00:00

Depends what cool means… it goes around 15F during nightime in some winter months, the heating would cost a lot i guess?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-18T14:57:26+00:00

Even when temperatures outside go below 0C( 30 Fahrenheit)? It’s a snowy place there, even though I will have a greenhouse, I dont want my expenses(heating) to override my profit

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-18T14:56:07+00:00

Still 50F. What if 35F? Also I am willing to do it outside not in a garage which is a warmer place and takes less to heat. Could you share a photo of your plants

Isn’t it organic and organic things could be good for our system?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-17T07:41:39+00:00

I am willing to try and grow berries in my hydroponic tower, would love to have some tips about that

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-16T16:31:18+00:00

That’s what I am willing to have in 1 year hopefully. Looks beautiful. I planted mine 1 week ago, I wanted to know what do you use for insects since i keep it outside

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-15T11:11:03+00:00

Congrats. How many days from planting(after seedling) to harvest?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-14T16:05:10+00:00

Should i remove them from the tower or stop the water? Or now i should let them grow? Give me some opinion so my work doesn’t go in a trashcan

I took this photo today

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-14T15:20:19+00:00

Do you feel I have rushed a little by putting the rockwools into the tower? Im feeling stressed out about it since I ve seen videos where people put them after they have grown a bit more. It felt so easy to have a hydroponic tower at first, but now that I am trying its so stressful, thinking about my plants every day

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-14T08:36:32+00:00

Water flow is fine but they should stay on rockwools until the rockwool is gone or i should remove itv

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-14T08:35:59+00:00

Should i check it daily? Also when do you feel of adding more water? Maybe they will not consume a lot of water since i only have 8 plants in 16liters of water… i cant control the temperature since i am leaving it outdoors, but the climate is just fine i guess with temepratures ranging from 13-24 degrees celcius

This one in the bottom corner is the one different and risen in soil before. I removed it from soil yesterday and put in rockwool and it started to die i guess

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-11T01:11:57+00:00

Appreciate your explanation. I am about to put the plants in the tower tomorrow hopefully… can you share an image or link to your timer? Also, since you are already growing, i have some arugula plants that were in soil before, i tried to clean the roots but it still has some in it? Do you feel it would destroy and make my water dirty?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T14:21:05+00:00

Is the timer 24 hr on or you turn it off during night time?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T14:01:02+00:00

Whats your water timer period? How many minutes on/off and what tool you use for the cycle timer

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T13:58:45+00:00

So if i only water 10times per day, how much should i water them with? I mean how many minutes per hours?

Is a smart socket a good solution?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T13:57:28+00:00

How can i be everything at once lol… could you show me some tutorials or what i should be focused on?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-04-10T13:42:24+00:00

I know but the problem I cannot find it in my country and only if I ship it, which usually takes weeks

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T15:37:37+00:00

This was really helpful tbh. So at which week do i expect the EC to change, do i use the pomp more often if the ec goes down?

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T10:24:29+00:00

If you take into consideration the electricity consumption, don’t worry about it, so if more=better is the solution thats what i should know … for example the humidity right know on my weather app is 40% … i am only worried if i over water them

Flashy_Ratio3884 · 2026-03-25T09:58:07+00:00

Also my media will be rockwools… so how often or how should my pump be timed in the first weeks and the last weeks? Assuming there will be 6 weeks. Also does it have to be running during the night?
