in #homesteading7 years ago

Hello, all...
I want to explain about hydroponics.
Currently planting with hydroponic methods is increasingly popular among farms, especially for people in urban and surrounding areas. Planting with hydroponics method is very suitable and the main choice because planting with this method does not have to require a large land, planting using this method requires only plain land.

If you want to garden and be constrained on land, you can use the method of planting with hydroponics, hydroponic plants do not require a large area of ​​land.

Here's how to plant hydroponic chili plants

Preparation of Chili Seed

Chili to be picked for seeds to be seed is superior chilli, first we dry chili seeds in the way of wind-aired. After the new dried chili seeds are taken and seeded into the water, grab the drowned beans to be seed, the drowning chili seed is a suitable seed for the seedlings.

After you prepare the chilli seed the next step is seeding. Chilli seeding to be grown by hydroponic method is similar to the process by seeding chillies using soil media. For more details see the following explanation:

  • Soak the seeds of chili to sow. Seed immersion
    needs to be done to accelerate the growth of seeds. Make sure the chilli seeds used are chilli seeds that sink.
    Chilli seeds we better soak with added growth regulator substances (ZPT) which is useful to accelerate the growth of chilli seeds that we will plant later.

  • After soaking the seeds, you should wrap the chilli seeds with a wet cloth for 1 day. This is intended to accelerate the process of seed germination in chili. After the sprouts appear next stage we can do seeding. Place for media seedlings biaa put in container media given in the form of husk husk or coconut husk.

  • Next sow the seeds to the seedling media that is the husk husk or coconut husk you used earlier. Flush with water but do not get stagnant, just splash and make sure that the seeds are submerged and covered by the fuel husk or coconut husk.

  • Put the seeds of chilli seeds in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. Flush every morning until the seeds grow and are ready to be planted.

Next is to do the transplanting process, transplanting is a process of transferring seeds from seedling media to growth media or planting media. Seeds of chili that have been sown and have appeared pseudo leaves a few pairs and the next will grow true leaves. If the true leaf has grown then the chilli seeds you can immediately move into the pot or polybag.

Treatment and Administration of Hydroponics Nutrition

Hydroponic nutrition or hydroponics fertilizer is the most important factor in how to plant using hydroponics. These hydroponic nutrients contain mostly NPK mixtures consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

In the growing period of chili plants should be frequently checked so that the availability of nutrients in plants is maintained and plants free from pests and diseases. You need to know, The availability of nutrient solution should not run out or until dry. If the nutrient solution begins to diminish and run out you can add it again.

Hydroponic chillies should also be free of pests and diseases. Pests and diseases that often attack chili plants are like pest mites, aphids, caterpillars, anthracnose, rotten fruit, and so forth.
