@infectedsilence Yes, as long as the nutrient requirements are similar, it will work fine. For example lettuce, herbs, and other leafy greens have similar nutrient requirements but a fruiting tomato plant will not (it will need less N but much more P & K)
One of Edentro's experimental units has not had water changed for 6 months. We used a reverse osmosis filter (with 5ppm contaminants down from 300), and you can keep adding it onto the older water. We have also never used a pH up or down in this system and the plants look great. However, the hydrogen peroxide was key to making this work past 2 months (1 mL once a day). reverse osmosis > bottled water but has upfront costs ($200). We badly want a permanent water hook-up.
Wow this is pretty impressive. I wonder if hydroponic plant with tube lighting have different vitamins and such contents than those grown in the dirt?
Really nicely done, and I really appreciated your comments on the nutrients etc. Nice setup - I am currently in the planning stage of my wife and my hyrdo setup. Really exciting though! Keep up the good work, and would love to know if you have any plans to expand etc. Feel free to PM me. What did this setup cost you?
you have different plants on the same system with the same water and nutrients ? can i have different vegetables on the same pvc tube ?

nice setup man. I got a very much smaller setup, but one day hope to do something like what you got. Check out my vids and comment if you like

What are you doing for a lighting cycle?

16 hours on 8 hours off. Greens such as lettuce prefer long day cycles.

do you use tap water? or bottled spring water? jus curious..

I use tap water, it's cheap and it works. Bottled water doesn't make financial sense.
