Thank you for the great presentation! I am growing strawberries hydroponically as a new hobby. One difficult thing to me is to maintain the proper ppm of the nutrient solution. May I ask what your ppm levels are at grow stage and bloom/fruit stage?
Hello, yes, they should be different because strawberry plants require different nutrient levels at different growth stages. I'm an agronomist dealing with the same.
@@张政-x9j No and Yes. I made a lot of serious efforts to grow strawberries hydroponically indoor during Feb- Sept 2022. Unfortunately they didn't make it. Then I just moved them to containers outdoor, and they have done Ok.
GLASS has poor thermal isolation. It absorbs heat from one side and radiates to the other side. Anti-UV coated Polycarbonate has better energy efficiency, more durable and weight is lighter.
Hello there i need some help from you if its posible, I want to get strawberries in a greenhouse but directly in the earth because I'm not currently able to hydropony is it posible and if it is, how good is it for Albion . also if u have email or something that i can talk to you please let me know, thanks in advance.
Can you separate about 3 meters off the outside and let me use your heat to grow vanilla pods please kind Dutchman? You've shared a huge amount of valuable information here, that is very so Dutch of you. I would so much like to share vanilla pods... Either way, awesome!!!
How about adding high heat output evacuated tubes, to reduce hot water heating cost, or build a PVT system outside, so you have both power and heat. If I can heat my house in the UK with solar thermal during the day, subject to weather, freezing is not an issue as long as we have a clear or cloudy sky? heating a greehouse which lose heat through the glass, as no insulation, can only in time add to sell price of all veg and fruit grown in a greenhouse
Organic isn't what it's cracked up to be. I've never had to worry about salmonella with my hydroponics system. No pesticides, herbicides, etc. No wasting water. Tastes just as great if not better. I'd go for hydro any day.
Dear sir, Let me know how you control the pest attack on strawberry crop. How can I contact you for additional information regarding to hydroponics farming.
All this kind of food has not vitamins, no taste, just smell and look. Try to grow berries in real wild in soil and on real sun. And you will know, what is real taste of strawberries or other berries.
These strawberries have just as much nutrients as the soil grown ones. These strawberries might even have a better taste because the people there can control exactly what nutrients get to the strawberries. Also they can supply nutrients that the soil might be lacking in.
This is definitely untrue. I grow my own hydroponic strawberries and they are way more flavorful and are packed with he exact same vitamins and nutrients.
I bet you had lots of money to waste on this setup. Its labor intensive too. Why not media beds or towers? Media beds with fish would give value to your food. Scrap that setup and do aquaponics.
This 'wasted' set up is a very well proven set up across the world, it is far more controllable and effective than aquaponics. Find an aquaponic setup for strawberries that is more efficient in terms of production and profit than this set up (the hint is that you wont find one - that's why everyone uses this set up). In fact it's well documented that with new aquaponic start ups they often very quickly find out they have no profit margin and go bust. More to the point, I don't think I've ever heard of an aquaponic system that produces the same amount as the system in this video AND even further to the point, the labour is subjective to the amount you produce. I find it strange that people offer such assured advice when they clearly don't know the industry.
Spicy Meat I may agree with you at some point but we humans should also think about the quality of what we eat not the quantity. Who knows how much fertilizer is out in there? Have you ever tasted fruits that came from aquaponics and those from hydroponics? Different taste. You can still do strawberries in a hydroponic NFT system and who said you can’t benefit from aquaponic strawberries? I would sell double the price for organic and yet people would buy.
@@saeed6811 The plants are given the fertiliser they need to form the correct characteristics and keep the plant healthy and productive. It is not a case of just chucking whatever you want at it. Strawberries you've tasted between hydroponic and aquaponic, do you know if it was the same variety? Doubtful unless you did it yourself and that's where the taste difference comes from. It's too easy for people to make poor comparisons when the variables are different. Don't get me wrong, nobody would say a commercial strawberry is nicer than one you grow in your back garden, the point is you cannot commercialise the process of growing in your back garden because it is not efficient. Are you speaking from experience? Or just from watching a lot of youtube videos on the matter. You didn't look at what I said - I have never seen an example of an aquaponic farm that can match the output of conventional hydroponics, the best it works on is a fairly small, local scale and that is my biggest point. No matter what your ideology is, demand must be filled and aquaponics is not the way to do that. I'm a commercial strawberry and blackberry grower, previously tomatoes. So I'd like to think I speak with reasonable experience.
Spicy Meat I don’t own a commercial farm I have visited some of the biggest aquaponics local farms here. One of them being two acres. We are planning to do one too. I am following up with the designer and he have designed lots of systems around the world. The tomatoes they do in there are tasty than those good looking hydroponic tomatoes. This is a fact and I have them in my fridge. Again, the output on hydroponics is high because it’s so easy to do it and I am not totally against it. I am simply finding the method used in this video as unnecessary because of those bags and on top of it follows the dosing. Why? A simpler system would do the same results. We have a some people doing commercial hydroponic strawberries. They use other simpler systems and they have good yields. Output wise, you can do anything with aquaponics if you can do it with hydroponics it’s just that hydroponics is easy to do and you can dose right to the max/requirement so that you can get high outputs fast enough. I would promote aquaponics food anytime and sell it as a premium food. Our government and Neighboring counties had a shut down on some of the suppliers that did sell food with toxins. These were typical hydroponic growers. Not everyone is descent and they would dose whatever they want just to get maximum yield. I wouldn’t trust a good looking farming either. They are the dangerous ones that are keen to do their return on investment ASAP. I have done controlled experiment(not a back yard hobby garden) to see if I can do hydroponic in large scale. It’s easy and I can do it in any scale if have money to do so. I am now running the same for aquaponics. The scale of output doesn’t really concern me because there are running aquaponic farms that are just doing fine and if there is a slight variation on the output, it would be compensated when selling and while engaging customers. Again, on the system used in this video, do it but just that I don’t find it necessary. It’s labor intensive and maybe would make more money if done with another method.
@@saeed6811 Two acres is a tiny, tiny area, so my point comes back to scale. There is a very simple reason why you don't see aquaponics on the same scale as a hydro greenhouse, it is not feasible. When you use the word 'toxins' you are only referring to the chemicals used for pests and diseases - I don't know what country you're from where this produce is getting banned, but I can tell you for sure that this is not a practice in 'first world' countries as it would also be banned. As it goes I speak from great experience, my family operate 50 acres of greenhouse, I now work for one of the largest greenhouse companies in the world (Arguably the largest) where they operate over 400 acres of greenhouse. The simple reason this technique is used is that this is what works to fill the demand. Like I say, I have never ever heard of a large scale aquaponic company surviving. The simple fact is that while you talk about charging a premium for your product, it heavily depends on whether you can be certified organic, and whether your area has demand enough to pay the higher prices you have to charge due to your lower production output. The real problem with your comments are that you are not looking at the whole picture, you're saying the substrate is unnecessary and you know of people using 'simpler' systems with good results. Simpler systems how, DWC, NFT? Believe it or not these methods were outdated 20 years ago, the production has advanced, not receded. The use of these systems does not produce a uniform crop and significantly increases the possibility of root disease. They are maybe fine for a back yard farm that's one or two acres big, but not proper commercial scale. As for the issue with labour what is it you refer to, labour intensive to set up? Labour intensive to harvest? I keep going back to this thing without trying to be rude, but if your idea was so obvious and simple then everybody would be doing it, the fact is you just can't scale it like you can scale the methods in this video. Also as a little tip as you're talking about taste/flavour and are involved in produce growing - Don't put tomatoes in the fridge, as soon as you put them in your fridge you are breaking down the sugars. Biological fact btw, not an opinion. Look I'm not saying your production method is 'bad', I'm saying it's quite ignorant to just assume that something that works on a very small scale can instantly work on any scale. You're saying this method is bad and yours is better and more logical, but you have no experience of an operation on the same scale and no companies exist on the same scale. Aquaponics is very very limited when looking at the concept of growing produce for the mass market, the scale you talk about is local. Anyway not to discourage or be rude or anything, I'm simply disputing your claim that this method is unnecessary, because this method is made for 'first world' mass market and aquaponics can't replace that.
