i've ordered some seeds and im waitin for em to come in and i've got my hydroponic system set up, i was thinkin of growin like tomatoes or a watermelon or even some opium poppys while i wait, think that would make like bigger better fruit? under a 300 watt hps to.
would it take like different nutrient amounts?

im sure the fruit or watever u grow would be much better than a standard outdoor grow if u had the correct nutrient levels, light timing and im no expert but id say even ph levels would be a bit difrent depending on the plant ur growing?
id say thered be almost as much info out ther for hydro fruit and veg as ther is for hydro marijuana, just a matter of finding it eh lol.

good luck, let us know how u go, coz i was looking at growing a few tropical fruits.

I hear you can make money selling Thai basil.

Microgreens and endive lettuce are highly marketable.

I have several veggie grows going and it is very enjoyable.

I have grown massive amounts of tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce aeroponically. very very easy...

snapple was giving away 25,000 dollars two years ago for the largest watermelon grown.. this was to promote their watermelon drink... I will not tell you howb ig my watermelons were...

lets just say I grew tomatoes that were nearly as big... yikes...

haha awesome im gonna give this a shot with tomatoes and a watermelon and see how it turns out

It just goes to show that other cool things can be done with hydroponics as well as the good stuff

Maybe the opium poppies, But have you ever tried to smoke a watermelon. LOL. They can be a bitch to light up and I don't get a buzz at all, LOL. It just hit me, I couldn't help myself. LOL

it also could be used as a quick cover up to now that i think about it lol

I would grow chilli plants. They should take well to the same environment and ph as cannabis. They won't smell or require trellising like tomatoes.
