Low vs. High Phosphorus Hydroponic Grow

Welcome to harvest day! In this video, I'm excited to share the surprising results of my latest hydroponic experiment focusing on phosphorus. I set up three distinct nutrient solutions: a low phosphorus mix, a control, and a high phosphorus mix, using Daikon radishes to test the effects. You'll see my detailed process from planning the nutrient solutions and mixing them carefully, to planting the seeds, adjusting pH and EC levels throughout the grow, and finally harvesting and weighing each plant individually. I'll walk you through all the data, including initial and final EC and pH readings, as well as the total plant and root mass for each group. The findings were quite unexpected, challenging some of my previous assumptions about optimal phosphorus levels in hydroponics. I'll also discuss some visual observations like algae growth and what these results mean for future grows. Stick around to see what I learned and what exciting experiments are coming next, including tests on potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sulfur! Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see next.
