Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

are the colours of the AP ones better too? the hydro looks yellower

thats what i wanted to hear! how many days since planting as seed?

Jaymie a bit conserned about color but no different between ap and hydro only growth.i think it maybe the temp.
jim.

28th august seeds planted straight into channel's
jim.

too late at this stage to plant some?

How do you mean Jim....

Planted in some rockwool, net pot with hydroton, or seedling straight into the tray??

Seeds planted into baskets of scoria and put into channel's
jim.

Do you find the scoria inhibits the root structure as opposed to net pots with hydroton? or isn't there much or any difference?

How high have you got your flow in the channels Jim?

Wondering how you ensured the seeds got wet enough to germinate?

Was it just capillary action that was sufficient enough or did you plant down low in the pot and flow high in the channels?

hostipal tank with 2 silvers one in the front is good but the other one i think will kark it looks like fin rot.?

What sort of Tom's are they Jim?

And is that a marigold at the end of the row?

Rupe are you asking about the yellow flowers? They are nasturtiums, same as the orange one in the other picture.
