Increasing plants per area automatically decreases yields after one point but it is often the case that you can get larger final yields per area by compromising some yield per plant in the process. even if plants yield 10% less this might be worth it if you can include 2 more plants for every 10 within your hydroponic crop.. Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants without soil by using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. terrestrial plants may be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, or the roots may be supported by an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel.. the nutrients used in hydroponic systems can come from an array of different sources. Maximizing hydroponic crop production penny goff, general manager and co-owner of gritt’s midway greenhouse in red house, w. va., says all of the greenhouse vegetable growers she knows who grow hydroponically use some type of substrate..
The plan called for three plantings at a density of 1.4 ft.2 (.13m2) per plant and an estimated yield of 30 lbs (13.5 kgs) per plant space per year under the worst case and a yield of 46-50 lbs (21-23 kgs) per plant space under the best case.. This analysis is based on a yield of 20 pounds of top grade tomatoes (at $0.80 per pound) and 7 pounds of salable culls (at $0.40 per pound) or 27 pounds per plant ($18.80 per plant) - which is only about half of what they could be getting according to gurney's [78, p.16].. Is 2 to 2 1/2 ounces per plant unreasonable if i give them good nutrients? i'm running all cfl light by the way. i really thought hydro systems boosted the yield of the plant no matter what type..
