12/19/2018It’s all about the Nitrogen!Nitrogen is usually the nutrient that is in limitedsupply.Plants deficient in nitrogen are stunted andyellowish (especially the lower leaves), and haverestricted root growth.Of all the soil minerals, nitrogen fertilizationusually has the quickest and most pronouncedincrease in plant growth and yields.3

12/19/2018Keep in mind aquaponics is an organic method offarming and involves live animals. The use of anychemical or organically derived fertilizers may result inthe death of your fish. The fish create the nutrientsthat are essential for the health of your plants. It isimportant to feed them high quality fish food severaltimes a day to ensure proper nutrient levels in yoursystem. By adjusting the amount of food to what isconsumed without extra after a few minutes, you canmaintain high growth rates. Whenever possible,supplement your fish’s diet with live food.Plants need: Water Nutrients Light Air Structural Support6
12/19/2018AeroponicsAeroponics and MistingTrue aeroponics use a mist of nutrients overthe plant roots inside a dark growing chamber.The nutrient and spray interval will producefast growth rates, high yields and healthyroots, as long as the root chamber is kept attemperatures between 62F to 71F with goodstability.7
