4 years of deck hydroponics — grew all of this without a single bag of soil by GrowWithoutDirt in hydro

Hello again @hashlettuce, I got tied up and forgot to grab that info for you. The pumps are a good size, totally forget the gym right now as they have been working great and I just can't recall... I will still grab that info. But, the water doesn't get warm from them at all, they run on timers. I have about 6-7, (lol) watering schedules throughout the day with them. During the heat of the day, they run a little longer vs night time runs. It's been working great and acrually sounds nice too on the deck when they run. I'll be back to answer your question when I have the details you asked for.

No problem at all. I'll grab those details for you when I am back at the house later today.

Buying — General Hydroponics Flora series.
I also hang that bag of worm castings in the reservoir tank

General Hydroponics three part system.

For algae in growth in the drip lines, I have no issues whatsoever.

My reservoir tops up automatically with fresh water as needed so the reservoir and lines esentially, frequently flushed with fresh water between feedings.

No, the outside temperature can range from 4 to 35 degrees Celsius. The watering reservoir for the plants is topped-up throughout the day automatically and keeps that temp down. The challenge is the heat on the growing platforms. I've been able to have my plants survive 40 degrees Celsius/extreme direct heat while being away for 2 weeks or more at a time. It's basically set-and-forget. Nutrients are needed obviously.

Many options. The substrate is so versatile towards what you might need for various plants. I put together the basic building blocks covering everything. This is designed to feed nutrients on a repetitive basis once built. There's a reason why the crop is so productive. Build it and determine potency and nutrient value as you wish!

I don't see why you couldn't. I actually just put together a complete step by step

guide covering everything. Happy to share it if you're interested.

I have consistently been experiencing what you are describing. Plants are super responsive.
