Don’t Reinvent the Wheel!

In our time of emerging technology in Hydroponics, it is easy to get overwhelmed.   I talk to a lot of people that are constantly searching for “IT”.  Call this a friendly reminder to not get caught up in all the hype.  All you really need is a plant, and an ability to care.

This is a gifted Pelargonium with a beginning height of 6 inches transplanted 1 month ago into a GH CocoTek 8” Basket filled with a Blend of GH Mixed Brick Coco Coir and Ancient Forest, our new Alaskan Humus Product.  It has been fed some of the General Organics (BioThrive Grow, CaMg+, BioRoot, BioWeed) and Floralicious Plus.  I like to top-dress it with Ancient Forest every two weeks.  It lives on my kitchen countertop under a mounted ‘under-cabinet’ fluorescent fixture, on for about 15 hours a day.  Note how many of the bigger leaves are curving in from the sides, in an attempt to procure more light.  This Simple Drain to Waste System provides an easy way to hydroponically grow your favorite houseplants

Looks lovely, Mrs. Greenthumb!

The next system I’m going to plan will be using organic GH/GHE nutrients and aims to be low maintenance. Didn’t thought about that, when I went from organic fertilizers on soil to my current NFT, which for example has no space for the BioFiltre and I can’t get the Bioponic Mix for the Bio Sevia line. You don’t know how good you lot have it with General Organics :D

Then please change that to Mr. Greenthumb, and a tip to the hat, Andy!

(You have proven your green thumb already, Lilly!)
