    Soil and water chemistry shouldn't be simplified by a hydroponics nutrient chart and situational concepts like "nutrient lockout" need to be thought about differently.

    I grow lots and lots of food.

    It has taken a LONG time for the system to mature, but now that I UNDERSTAND what needs to happen I can make it go a lot quicker. I just made a discovery today, which is the only reason I mention it... I probably shouldn't have said anything, but I was excited... I'm only at the proof of concept stage as well as undergoing massive experimentation; so, it's a variably-dynamic, ever-changing concept at best.

    Well start up a new thread and share your theory! Also PM me when you've done this so I can sub to it.
    Current Aquaponics System


    11 Gold Fish
    Aquarium = Custom 90 Gallon Raised Pond on casters
    Flower bed = Custom 4' x 8' Flood Table (Bell Siphon)
    Bio Filter = 6 Gallon Polypropylene Tote with Hydroton (Bell Siphon)

    Oh, it's no where near ready for public beta testing!

    I will probably release it when I publish my research that I do for my thesis.

    Your such a 'tease' ! The girls come to take you out on a date...they bring gifts of the best fish foods. They take you to the finest restaurants and wine and dine you...
    Then when they want to know how your 'radishes' grow....
    you won't even let them get a bit of information .... :P ...
