Condition of Vegetables in My Hydroponic Garden at the End of September 2023
Hello Gardeners
How are you today ? I hope and pray that we are all always given health and happiness in living this life. I am very happy, finally given the time and opportunity to participate and contribute again to the HiveGarden Community.
As usual, I want to share my stories and experiences in my hydroponic garden. So, what are the activities and conditions of my hydroponic garden? Keep reading my post this time.
Condition of Lettuce in My Hydroponic Garden
First, I want to invite my friends to see the condition of the lettuce in my hydroponic garden. Lettuce is one of the most popular vegetables in the world. If you guys pay attention, lettuce is a vegetable that is known and consumed globally from western society, Asian society to African society. I can say, lettuce is a vegetable that unites this earth.
Since I started growing vegetables with a hydroponic system. Lettuce is also one of the vegetables that I always grow in my hydroponic garden. I've tried planting several lettuce seeds from different varieties and seed factories. Until finally I found the most suitable and profitable lettuce seeds to plant in my hydroponic garden.
Currently, I have around 700 pots of lettuce with one planting age of 20 days after sowing or 10 days in my hydroponic growing medium. The lettuce that I planted grew very well and optimally. We can see it from the green growth of lettuce and its uniform height. During this planting period, I used a liquid fertilizer solution with a concentration of around 700 ppm and also sprayed the liquid fertilizer every morning.
I also sort lettuce that is experiencing growth delays. I carry out additional treatment by providing a fertilizer solution of around 800 ppm and spraying regularly. My hope is that this smaller lettuce can grow even better.
Condition of Kangkong in My Hydroponic Garden
Next, I invite you to see the condition of the kangkong that I planted in my hydroponic garden. As you know, kangkong is one of the most popular vegetables grown in a hydroponic system. Kangkong has several advantages such as easy care and a fast harvesting process.
During this planting period, I planted 400 pots of kangkong. Currently, the kangkong that I planted is about 10 days old after sowing. The condition of the kangkong in my hydroponic growing medium grows very well and optimally. We can see it from the uniform growth of kangkong and also the bright color of the leaves.
This week, I used a liquid fertilizer solution with a concentration of around 1000 ppm for all the kangkong that I planted in my hydroponic garden. Apart from that, I also sprayed a fertilizer solution to make this kangkong grow optimally. We will see how this kangkong grows in the future, I hope that next week this kangkong will show good growth.
Condition of Mint Leaves in My Hydroponic Garden
Next, I invited my friends to see the condition of the mint leaves that I planted in my hydroponic garden. Mint leaves are the superior and most profitable product in my hydroponic garden. Since I started gardening with a hydroponic system, mint leaves have become one of the lettuce plants in my hydroponic garden.
I have several PVC hydroponic installations that are specifically used for growing mint leaves. At the front of my hydroponic garden, I have two PVC hydroponic installation units with 130 planting holes. The mint leaves that I planted here also grew very well and optimally. In fact, I also harvest regularly and get very good profits from these mint leaves.
This week, I also repaired the PVC hydroponic installation that I have. I reinstalled two pipes on the fence of my house. Here, there are around 28 pots of mint leaves and I hope the mint leaves I planted can grow well.
Apart from that, I also have a wall hydroponic installation with 54 planting holes. Here, I also planted mint leaves and the mint leaves experienced very good growth. I also optimized the shelf section of my mother's orchid collection. At the top, I planted about 28 pots of mint leaves and the growth is still very good. I also have plans to increase the number of plantings of mint leaves that I have.
Growing Vegetable Seeds in My Hydroponic Garden
This week, I also sowed lots of vegetable seeds such as lettuce, bok choy and caisim. The condition of the seeds that I sowed also grew very well and optimally. You can see it from the uniform and very beautiful growth of the seeds.
My plan is that I will plant these lettuce seeds on the balcony area of my house. For the pak choy and caisim seeds, I plan to plant them in my friend's hydroponic garden. OK, maybe this is the story about my hydroponic garden this time. See you in my hydroponics journal next week.
Call me Isdarmady, because I have a full name that is very long, namely Isdarmady Syahputra Ritonga. I am a head of the family who work as Farmers Vegetables Hydroponic and Consultant Hydroponics, sometimes I also sell coffee from various regions in Indonesia.
I have expertise dispensing coffee with a variety of techniques and tools brewing, because I have the desire to make a coffee shop with hydroponics as centerpieces. Help me realize that dream.
Thanks for read, vote, re-blog and support me in Hive. Maybe god will reward the kindness, let’s success together.
Loved seeing your vegetable garden. Because vegetables play an important role in keeping our body healthy. But your method of vegetable production is different from our country.
hello @rezaul1 thank you for stopping by
I really agree with you, I believe consuming vegetables will be very good for our bodies. My farming system uses hydroponics as a planting medium, I don't use soil but use water. In my country it is also not commonly done, it is only done for urban farming.
You do have a huge set up here. Are these veggies produced organically or do you use chemical fertilizers.
Very interesting read. Wish I could visit you garden.
hello @sofs-su thank you for stopping
and that seems like a good question to me. I still use chemical fertilizers with limited doses, the indication is that in the hydroponic solution I can still live freshwater fish such as catfish or tilapia. I have not found a method of organic fertilizer that is suitable and has crop productivity that is equivalent to chemical fertilizer.
that's a lot of plants you have there. Love how you set up your garden. Anyways I love kangkong
thank you for stopping by @bigeyes2012 and I'm very happy to be able to share the condition of my hydroponic garden and provide inspiration for friends.
Your lettuce plants look vibrant and healthy. The kangkong plants also seem to be flourishing with their bright leaves and healthy growth. Keep on gardening.
thank you very much @diyhub and i'm so happy you always support my content.
All the vegetables in my hydroponic garden are growing very well this week. Hopefully it produces good results for future harvests.
I'm so wowed. I never knew there's something like a hydroponic garden. I've learnt something new today all thanks to your post.
Thank you very much @bhetea01
I am very happy to be able to provide inspiration and new information to friends.
The pleasure is mine
