Hi I was wonderin if anyone grows weed with aquaponics? I guess it's a type of hydroponics but instead of fertilizer there r fish n that's were the fertilizer comes from... Does anyone who's familiar with this know if weed would grow in these systems? I've heard vegetables grow better in aquaponics than with hydroponics idk if that's true tho
Aquaponics is a wonderful way to grow... it helps to have an idea of what you're addressing before actually forming such an opinion. I saw a thread on here quite some time ago where a guy was doing a lot of aquaponics. http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/474090-aquaponic-cannabis.html Your best bet is to read that and google for other aquaponic cannabis growers. I'm happy with my setup, but I've been interested in using aquaponics for other things outdoors. You feed the fish -> fish excrete ammonia -> bacteria ingests ammonia, producing nitrate wastes -> plants take up the nitrates -> repeat It's probably about as easy as hydroponics can get. You do a setup similar to other hydroponic rigs such as NFT or ebb&flow, but in the reservoir you have the fish instead of a nutrient solution.
pretty convenient actually. Nitrogenous wastes build in the beginning during veg and then phosphorus starts to build later in the grow when you want to flower. Potassium and micro nutrients need to be supplemented but pretty much ALL plant (algea,cannabis,etc) use the same stuff
