Great resource is found - Cornell CALS

I found a very well-explained resource about home hydroponics systems for leafy greens on the Cornell CALS (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) website (https://cea.cals.cornell.edu). A PDF titled “A Guide to Home Hydroponics for Leafy Greens” is quite easy to follow.

It even includes a link to an Excel file for calculating nutrient mix amounts, on page 30. The default values under “% element” match the Flora series — Gro, Micro, and Bloom, in that order. I only adjusted the solution amounts to hit the target ppm closely.

After reading that resource and adding an EC meter and fan to my setup, I adjusted my hydroponics settings. So far, it’s working really well and the plants seem happier!
