boss, asa ka palit ug nutrient solution? tag pila?

[jackdi]

aquarium airpumps ra man sad bro. so far sa 2 months naka-ON ang 2 air pumps, wala may noticeable change sa among electric bill.

if you're referring to water pump...wala pa ko nigamit ug water pump. mao I use air pumps to keep the hydro solution aerated all the time.

Sir, naa ta ko quesitons if you dont mind:

** Unsa nga hydro solution imo gamit?

** If nag-DIY nutes ka, where to buy nitrates man?


Salamat Sir.

Salamat Sir.

in 2012 when I first started with hydroponics, I used SNAP solution which was developed in UPLB. Got my first batch of basil seedlings and SNAP Hydroponics solution from DOST.

I just resumed last August. I'm now using Masterblend. Will be trying out another formulation soon just to compare results. Most of these formulations are from the US. There are actually many Hydroponics solution brands that are in the market (US)...but pangitaonon dinhi sa Pinas.

I see, you're in US diay Sir. Nice! Daghan jud choices of nutes diha - premixed and formulated pa jud.
Diri sa ato, ang mga "nitrates" lang daan, naa supply pero lisod na pag-palit kay control chemical man.
Lisod i-DIY bah.

Good for you jud Sir!

I said "most formulations are from the US"...dili ako ang naa sa US. hahaha! Naa ra ko intawn sa Cebu.

No need to do DIY paghimo ug formulations kay ubay-ubay na man sad ang hydroponics supply stocks...especially ang hydroponics solutions, dinhi sa pinas.

ubay-ubay na man gani kaayo ang nag hydroponics nationwide. natingala gani ko ngano mingaw ni nga thread.

Wala kay makita if sa mga conventional agricultural and garden supply stores ka mangita ug hydroponics stuff dinhi sa ato. Online sellers are the usual sources. I get my stocks from different sellers online...depende kung unsa akong need and kung kinsa ang naay stock. Pero naa koy usa na mao sige nako ginapalitan ug supplies since 2012, naa sya'y store sa Cabuyao (Laguna). HGS Hydroponics ang store. You can also check them out sa FB.

For Hydro Solutions, there's MasterBlend, SNAP, Hydro-Pinoy, Veggie-Sol, Lush-Gro, among others that you can now purchase locally....among other supplies needed to set-up your own hydroponics system.

I see....
So technically, wala jud diay ta'y solid nga supplier sa Cebu, right?
Kay puros man online purchases that we can get "outside" of Cebu?
:sigh:

yes. it would've been better if there's a local hydroponics supplies store here in cebu.

but that doesn't matter. that fact didn't stop me from engaging in this hobby.

besides, with the other hobbies i've engaged in the past...most purchases i've made are done online anyway. so, there's no difference at all with this one.

also, some supplies that I've purchased recently from sellers whose posts I saw online, turns out to be cebu-based man diay. so, I was able to save on shipping from those purchases. hehehe
