HD Aquaponics - Ep.21 - Adding tilapia to the aquaponics greenhouse, pollinating tomato plants

[shaorin321]

are the rocks just on the top? I am trying to learn about how to set up an aquaponics greenhouse and I just keep getting more confused lol help please

[BlazingEdisons]

Are you adding any nutrients after the introduction of the tilapia? Or are you solely using their waste as food? Also, how are you maintaining low pH with their water? Our tilapia pond is about 7.8 pH and I'd be concerned to add pH down to their habitat. Thanks. Nice setup, man.

What is your cost to date?

[youtubsuxfv]

yeah , about the tooth brush method , u have to pass the hairs from the brush to the openning of the flowers , that way the pollen is captured and passed throw all the flowers.

I really enjoy your vid's!! and I was hoping that you might do one on climate control

[edpozek]

@mad4misty Yes, as the summer heats up we'll be adding a couple of modifications to the greenhouse on this very subject. Stay tuned.

[edpozek]

@kbgrowkid420 Thanks man, are you on the fan page or forum? It'd be nice to have somebody I can ask specific questions about specific topics.

[kbgrowkid420]

Have you ever seen a bee on a tomato flower? I sure haven't. They're just not interested in them. It's wind/movement that pollinates the flower. Tomato flowers have both male and female parts and they self pollinate very easily

Sounds like a hive of bees should be your next project so you don't have to brush your tomato plant's teeth. You should at least try to attract some Mason Bees.  No honey but also no upkeep.

[noctame]

lol, you can just shake the tomato plants to get the same result :P

And don't forget to clip the suckers that'll try growing out from tomato plant joints to conserve your nutrients for the fruits
