What really surprised me is how much nutrients those plants ate once they started getting fruit. My reservoir of 22Gallons was getting depleted every 3-5 days, it was crazy. This is a full recirculating system so no water is being wasted, and all of it is being used and consumed by these very hungry plants.
It's a little late in the season for smoe new plants and such, but I'm so enamored by the success that I am certainly going to maintain this garden through the year and likely double the production next year by adding some new varities. This year we did and are still getting; Cucumbers, Orange Red & Green bellpeppers, about four different tomatoe varieties, Hot Chili peppers similar to a serrano but more on scovilles along a Habanero, butterleaf varieties of lettuce, Canteloupes and Basil. We have more garden items but these were the only things in Hydro nutrient solution! Wow did they go crazy.
