    I don’t have access to soil or sun out here in 7b but I have been able to have a super successful hydro garden including my very first tomato that I picked off the other day! Was fortunate enough to get a grow bag thats larger than my current needs so I’m excited to expand in the coming months as I get through another harvest cycle. Currently have six 3-gallon totes on DWC growing leafy greens, green wave mustard, sorrell, arugula, and cherry tomatoes. Real excited to make some haam choy from the mustard next week. About to make a salad for dinner and have been e atimg greens every day for the past two weeks.

    This is actually the second tomato I pulled off pictured as I quickly gave the first one to my partner (wifeguylyfe)

        Ive been using master blend on everything and not really thinking about it. Rather than mix a solution, I just make concentrates of the three bags and mix them when I need to add solution. I picked this method so I could respond with the right nutrients when I noticed deficiencies, but since I switched from dynagro, I haven’t noticed any problems.

      Clearly you don’t need sun or soil to grow food!

      Hydroponics can be so satisfying so quickly once you figure out the broad strokes. I’ve been considering setting my tent back up for winter.
