1. First Step Of Tomato Hydroponics Is To Soak Seeds And Accelerate Germination.
Prepare the seeds first, then prepare hot water, the temperature is about 55 degrees, and then prepare a small wooden stick to start soaking the seeds. We put the seeds in the hot water of 55 degrees, and then use the small wooden sticks to soak the seeds. Stirring, this step must be done, because the temperature is too high, if it is not stirred, it is very likely that our seeds will be damaged by hot water, become ripe, and naturally there is no way to survive. Secondly, after going through this step, we put the seeds into warm water. The key to this step is to wait until our seeds swell up, even if the soaking is successful, and finally we only need to wrap them with some clean white cloth and put them in the water. Dry and accelerate germination in a ventilated area. The place selected for this process should be shady and cool, without direct sunlight. After about three days, you can see that the seeds have germinated.
2. Prepare The Culture Substrate.
This step is very important, because this is the key point to replace the soil, and use the nutrient solution for cultivation. So how should we configure the nutrient solution suitable for the tomatoes we are talking about today? Calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, magnesium sulfate, etc. are put into the nutrient tank according to a certain concentration, and finally put in clean water and stirred until the solution reaches 1 ton.
3. Setting Of The Cultivation Device.
In fact, we have canceled the traditional cultivation methods when carrying out hydroponics, and we must have some new equipment of our own. The equipment is actually very simple. In addition to the nutrient tank introduced above, some equipment and pipelines are needed. This is to provide a certain amount of oxygen for our hydroponics. For plants, oxygen is also essential. Everyone knows this, and finally we need some supports to support the growth of our tomato plants, and this support must be fixed.
4. Seedling Cultivation And Planting.
We need a kind of equipment when we are carrying out water seedling cultivation, this is the seedling tray, the usage of the seedling tray will not be introduced too much, you just need to remember that it is basically a hole and we can put a seed, and then Just cultivate rice in one of our pre-prepared culture substrate. After a period of time, the seedlings will emerge, and then we clean the raised seedlings and put them on the previous nutrient tank, so basically the previous work is over.
5. Hydroponic Growing's Daily Control.
At this point, it is actually a water and fertilizer management problem, but since we have all chosen hydroponics, there is definitely no need to worry about choosing water. Then there is only one problem, that is, the problem of fertilizer, that is, the problem of nutrition. When we control nutrition, the general situation is to cut off some redundant and useless branches for nutrient supply, so that we can provide more nutrients to our trunk. In addition, out of planting experience, we generally choose half Topdressing is carried out once a month. Of course, the problem of topdressing is relatively flexible. We can fertilize according to a growth situation of tomatoes.
