well reno,you probally thought you would never hear this from me,im doing a hydro grow on cucumbers,33 gal trash can full of water and a 10 inch long tube going into it full of peat moss and vermiculite,1 seed,watch a vid that got my interest,for years i have watched and listen to all the water folk,never really understood,this guy had a 55 gal barrel with just plan water,2 cucumber plants ,the roots were about 4 ft long in the barrel,come to find out,the roots go crazy in search for nutrients,the plant wont produce any fruit but will grow for a while on just the water,acting as a stunted growth,well once nutrients are added the roots stop searching and build fruit instead of roots,crazy shit indeed,so im giving a try,3oz calcium nitrate ,2oz of magnesium sulfate,3oz of 8-16-36 fertilizer,no air or pump required,when the plant dies the nutrients and water will be almost gone,ideal in full sun and heat brings them on,ideal for texas summer,so we will see how it goes,just shows you old timers do have a open mind and i will try most things and never give info or help unless i tried it first,same as i always have been,i never asked or ordered none of my employees to do nothing i hadnt done myself,so we will see how it goes,this guy is pulling off 5 lbs of cucumbers a day off 1 plant wild shit,showed it to mama and a hell ya boy get to growing,im itching to can some pickles hahahah,i swear i hope this shit works were i can watch her work her old ass to a nub,just as she always does me hahaha
