So fill your Dutch bucket with perlite - it has volumes of surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow. Not sure what you have in your Dutch buckets but 4-5 fruit clusters is really poor...maybe their nutrient solution is lacking something?
They all had exactly the same everything if that were the case then why were the media beds doing better considering they had exactly the same everything
I am trying to find information on how to actually run these gravel bed flood and drain systems. Wasn't successful so far. If you fill and drain every 15 minutes or so - what pumps do you use etc.?
What you generally do is setup your bell siphon to empty it once it's full. And to fill it there is the calculation for how large your media bed is. Usually in gallons. Then you select a pump that puts out enough gallons per minute to get the flow rate you want. OR you chose a larger pump and throttle it to the desired flow rate to fill you media bed in the desired time.
Hi there! I have an aquaponic system that's growing green onions. They grow GREAT! I got a small busshel from the store and kept the bottom 3 inches of each onion after I was done cooking, threw the bottoms into the system and they regrow in less than two weeks! They're so easy to grow and difficult to kill. They've been sitting outside all summer here in Phoenix in 115 degree+ weather and have yet to die. I'm just starting with tomatoes, so I hope they do well
Do i have to add extra nutrients into my aquaponics system to grow tomatoes Or i only need fish water If i need to add nutrients which ones and how much
I'm not sure the amounts, but at first the tomato plants will just need Nitrogen and Potassium (potash). During the first 5 weeks you can get away with using just your fishwater (nitrogen) but after that you'll need to start adding increasing amounts of potassium, as it's the primary nutrient needed. Once the plant starts to bud at around 12-15 weeks, you'll also need to add small amounts of calcium, magnesium (you can find cal-mag 1:1 ratio nutrients online), and phosphorus (Hydrophic Ph Down is Phosphoric acid and works great if you have alkaline tap water) See: www.haifa-group.com/files/Guides/tomato/uptake_dynamics_03.gif
aquaponics systems are deficient in calcium and potassium, if you can see in the video the tomato plants that are in the small packages have short roots and therefore do not gain much nutrients that are in defices in the system, but those that have good roots They have the possibility of taking more nutrients.
Waste time to wish having like tis tomato...this is special tricks and nutraint...then we can get only when we go and learn pay the fees to this guy....hahah
There are no tricks or nutrients added to his systems. And yes he offers a class you can pay for, but he has tons of info for free all over the web. I like how all you haters talk this crap, but i bet none of yall have ever done aquaponics on your own, correct?
Nope ! no Tricks... just balance the water chemistry and plants get all the nutrients from the converted fish waste... its quite easy with a little research ..
wait a minute they aren't even the same type of tomatoes if they said they were they were wrong, the second ones are clearly a type of cherry tomato of coarse they are going to be smaller in size. dude i love your videos but i think you need to go back to tomato school. look at the hand formation not the same configuration.
DudeRevolution I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover aquaponics course try Aqua Recovery Tactics (aqua.RecoveryTactics.com ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Who cares. Aquaponics is a waste of effort. Too difficult to maintain a proper balance. Hydroponics is the way to go! You can control the plant count and the fertilizer levels. P.S. And have you ever tried to root plants in rocks? I will give you a hint. It does not work.
Without proper research and understanding of water chemistry a person would find this difficult... My system took about a month to balance and then has been trouble free for a year..

@@sweetness6048 the gravel in the beds has better aeration and lighting maybe?
Wow! You tomatoes is my favorite, I am Montagnard indigenous live in USA I sowed the tomatoes seed here in North Carolina ready to plant in May .
Good to know. But any idea why the media bed is the best?

Hello sir Aquaponic system tomato grow time any comical add or not
What about tomato on DFT system?
Hello
What you think me sir green orion from seed or tomatoes? I want to start aquaponic system
Thank you

Guy charges for what most teach for free. Heres a secret most tomatoes are grown in 20 gal rockwool blocks .

Could be different phenotypes
This guy is a world leading expert in aquaponics do your research mate
@@sweetness6048 there are no phenotypes in tomato growing..plants are uniform,seeds are made by professionals
@@user-yc1nr7lj6c there absolutely is do some proper reasearch mates
Good observation regarding the difference in cluster shape!

haahahah the floating raft tree wasnt even fruiting yet. What a ridiculous observational video.

I have spent months researching into home aquaponics and found a fantastic resource at Keiths Ponics Site (google it if you're interested)
