I ve been using aquarium mulm from my 120gal to dilute teas. Keeping an aquarium isn't hard at all as long as you do a little homework (nitrogen cycle) and stock the right fish. Having a plumbed hydro system running entirely off fish waste would be very challenging. I've heard of dual root zone style where you can still supplement nutrients which aren't fish safe as long as they are dosed in primary root zone (no run off means no contamination of tank water).

It has to be dialed in, if anything gets funky with the fish or the plants you could probably kill everything

actually the fish are way more sensitive than plants...its a double job..but once in gear its gotta be the deal

>> sounds good..i would prefer not to have to..but sometimes it takes abit of time to get the other elements up

aquaponics has been my spring plan//we gotta use trout because it gets too cold in winter

this will all take some work ..

Aquaponics is a gimmick IMO. I doubt fish shit alone can get the job done. Probably why he feeds them 3 times a day. Need a shit ton of shit to feed cannabis...lol

apparently aquaponics works differently than normal ferting..you can feed all day long

n ot that youk can't with mineral salts

..much much lower ppms for success..there are people doing well

i would like to be one..the k and p is harder to pull off

You have to feed all day long because the amount of nutrients is so low and your still suplementing nutes for a complete profile. So add on the fish keeping and I dont see it as the best way to grow commercially...keep it simple works very well.

Well I've been mixing in some vermicompost to my coco coir blend after listening to a few agronomists suggesting it. (not so much for the nutrients, but for the bacteria and fungi).
Touch wood, ever since I did the change, I am not even adding calmag anymore. the plants are healthy and the leaves are about 20cm from tip to base. They have that waxy gloss back and the insects fucked off.

True organic are not in a form the plant can readily use. Synthetic or mineral salt based nutes are

"Any" organic fertilizer uptake is based on what microorganisms are available to facilitate, as organic nutrients cant be utilized without them. Aquaponics has a massive biodiversity in microorganisms. This allows lower nutrient levels to be used during the full grow cycle.

That's what gets me when people ask for soil mixes, cause I know they want a quick mix short-term solution that will leave that soil unusable when they are done growing their plant.
