Calcium Hydroponics Experiment With Surprising Results!

In this hydroponics experiment, I dive deep into how different calcium levels impact plant growth. I set up three distinct nutrient solutions – A, B, and C – based on the Hogland formula, with varying calcium concentrations. From mixing the precise nutrients using my digital scale to measuring initial pH and EC, I meticulously document every step of the setup process. You'll see how I adjust the pH of each solution and prepare daikon radish seeds for planting. Follow along as the plants germinate, grow, and are eventually thinned for optimal results. I share all the raw data, including individual plant weights for greens and roots, as well as the final pH and EC readings for each pale. We then break down the spreadsheet data, analyzing the surprising differences in growth, especially concerning root mass. I also reflect on the experiment's challenges, like maintaining consistent pH, and propose ideas for future tests. Don't miss the insights and my plans for the next hydroponics adventure!
