Vertical farming is so neat!

Most AP systems contain all the plant nutrients necessary for plant growth and human health. In hydroponic systems, iron is usually mixed into the nutrient mix. Same with complete solutions for peppers. Each crop has slightly different nutrient needs, but typically luxury consumption and general mixes can supply what these crops need. Anything extra can be added separately.

Does that mean minerals the body needs but aren’t found in the nutrient mix are missing ?
I don’t understand this.
Cucumbers are supposed to have iron in them … but how do they get that iron in a hydroponic system if it is not mixed in with the nutrient solution ? Or is it … and how do we know ?
Bell peppers are supposed to have molybdenum and manganese ?
Tomatoes copper and iron ?

We don’t have problems with nutrient deficiencies. We do supplement potassium, calcium and magnesium, but only in substances that are fish safe. We’ll occasionally use things like kelp meal concentrate. As a result, our production is similar to or better than most hydroponic producers.

The questions I am left with after I have watched a lot of aquaponic/hydroponic/organic farming videos is can you get enough minerals and nutrients to the plants in aquaponics? For example, there are many nutrients and minerals that plants are supposed to have, but how do they get into an aquaponic system, and if you add fertilizers or mineralizers to the water, can it harm the fish?

An outstanding channel, thanks for your efforts to bring us this information in a way the “average” guy/girl can understand. I am an Aussie in Thailand and I am considering a small AP farm to run with my wife’s farm to try and grow the crops others are having trouble with, usually because of the heat. I’m still in the R & D stage and I am studying your vids with gusto… Thanks again for your efforts to bring us this information. Do you have anything on how to promote and maintain bacteria?

That’s right Randall, hopefully this helps get many more people into this growing method, heck, just growing period!

With more people looking into this type of farming there will be a bigger following therefore people will change the way they look at farming and food production. this is a good way to get the ball rolling. Thanks guys and keep up the good stuff.

I get the feeling this is going to really help put the aquaponics movement in gear. There are already several routes for people to go when it comes to attending seminars and whatnot, but free, open-source information will spur so many more DIY-type people to get their feet wet. Not everyone can afford trips to exotic locales for group meetings, but it doesn’t take much to hop online and watch a few educational videos. Many thanks for providing such a great wealth of information to the community!
