Do you use any kind of pump in the static system- an air pump for the nutrient solution?

Nope! The perlite allows plenty of oxygen in the root zone. So no pumps are needed.

a plant scientist hah... your lame kid go home.

Are you a plant scientist? Most hydroponic tomatoes are picked at the start of ripening and continue to ripen off the vine AND they taste GREAT. Where did you get the 50% of the flavor in the last day? Was there a scientic test to tell you this?
-
you rock your info is so true it makes great sense
-
If they don't ripe anymore omce they are picked, would it be fair to say that the next stage is rotting? Also not sure of what the split is? You mean there is a cut in the skin? Yes I am noob

Can hydroponics ever be considered organic?
DrewDawg50 3 years ago
Our methods are actually cleaner than "Organic" because we don't have potentially toxic contaminants in our nutrient mix, made from refined chemicals. Use of refined chemicals is usually prohibited on produce to be labeled "organic." Potential toxins like fluoride, radium (a source of radon), & selenium, which occur naturally in minerals, are acceptable according to many organic standards. (Organic is defined by the organization issuing the certification, and so varies a bit.)

so all that you use is perlite?
DaMan1141 3 years ago
All that is used for the support media is perlite, yes. Perlite acts to physically support the plant and also holds air, water, and nutrient. We have a regulated nutrient feeding system, sort of like an irrigation system, that mixes water and a measured amount of nutrients and delivers the mix to the pots, bags, or trays of perlite.

How do you keep the algae from growing in your nutrient solution?
blessedRthemeek 3 years ago
It is difficult to avoid, but it doesn't cause any real problems. The algae is removed when we periodically clean the perlite and the trays.
