Hydroponic sweet corn

- Here is the hydroponic sweet corn I grew this year in a flood and drain system. The bed is 5 mm (1/4”) gravel, 125mm (5”) deep.
I planted some seed direct into the bed November 21 2020 and some into a seed raising mix. The plants from the seed raising mix I transplanted into the gravel bed.
Initially I was flooding the bed three times a day (every 8 hours). It takes 7 minutes to flood the bed. Then after the plants were growing and the weather was getting hot I upped the flooding to every six hours (4 times a day) then upped to 8 times a day ( every 3 hours).
The sweet corn grew really well and is ready eat at 68 days.
Going to need you for the apocalypse
Great results! Corn typically requires a lot of nitrogen so you're probably not using the usual Master Blend + Epsom Salts + Calcium Citrate nutrient mixture. Care to share some details? Thanks!
Thank you, I am using Lifeblood Strawberry Perfect fertiliser, which I make.
@@tovikaberlinasari6525 I can’t share my fertiliser recipe sorry. I employed a scientist to design it. Then we spent time developing it. It’s called Strawberry Perfect.
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing this :)
Thank you, I got a really great result in growing corn this way. I’m looking forward to growing corn again this summer, once the current winter crops I have in the flood and drain system are done. Happy growing.
How do you prevent mosquito in bucket
2ml of 50% strength hydrogen peroxide per 10 litres of nutrient solution will kill mosquito larvae.

Good lookin corn 🌽😋✌
Thank you, I spaced the plants at 12” centres. 1/4” granite stones as media. 5” deep bed. Floods every three hours , takes 7 minutes to about 1/4” from the top. That’s the top level, otherwise if the top gets wet algae develops.
Damn bro ate it off the husk raw love it damn need to get up out of bed and raid the fridge that looked amazing
Hahaha, was sweet eating!
It's too crowded more spacing upto 1metre apart please
