I have started the grow room rearrangement. This will introduce recirculating deep water culture hydroponics. Initially I am planning on starting with 3 plants and a master bucket. As the winter tomatoes mature I will move the 40 gallon soil pots outside for the summer grow. Then will add more RDWC plants as space becomes available. The chiller will be used to cool the hydroponic reservoir but also the nutrient solution will be pumped thru 100 feet of stainless tubing wrapped around the inside of the 65 gallon carrot pot to cool it.My goal for next winter is to move beyond hydroponics to high pressure aeroponics. One year of soil indoors, one year of hydroponics and then to advanced techniques. For those of you that requested carrot seeds I have sent a package with all the permits and labels needed to ease the seeds into the usa. As soon as I receive them will send them out to you.
