I've gotten really comfortable with hydroponics, my garden has been doing amazing with Kratky style hydroponics. My tomatoes are going absolutely nuts, I've got cherry tomatoes that are 12' tall, I've had to bend them over and start looping them around my support structure to keep the branches from breaking.
My loofah is absolutely sucking down nutrients, I've added 25 gallons to the 55 gallon drum twice now. Whats crazy is I have two cantaloupe plants in identical 55 gallon drums, and I haven't had to top them off at all, they both have at least half the nutes left. But that loofah just sucks the moisture down, which I guess makes sense since its a tropical plant (I think).
So I'm going to give growing weed in DWC style a shot with the masterblend formula I've been using on the tomatoes and stuff.
