Plant your seeds
within two weeks of the time
you expect to complete your installation of
your aquaponics to be completed which, in most cases will take a few days to build to build
your system so PLANT YOUR SEEDS ASAP.
After the seeds have begun to sprout, and after your farm has water running through the
Grow Table, you can plant each of the small seedlings into the gravel deeply enough so that
the gravel reaches to the top of the shoulders of the cubes.
We strongly suggest you plant in waves so you can enjoy an ongoing harvest.
FIRST ROUND OF PLANTS IN A NEW AQUAPONICS SYSTEM
: We recommend the
first planting in your
new
aquaponics system include ALL GREENS (lettuces, basil, Swiss
chard, bok choy, kale, etc.) and not to include
any
blooming plants (tomatoes, cucumbers,
peppers, etc.)
until after you harvest this first batch of greens
.
This 40 or 45 days of growing and harvesting 'only greens' allows your system to 'cure'
and raise the nitrogen level in the fish tanks (with your baby fish's precious poop) in order
to balance the pH in the system for maximum growing. This first round of greens encour-
ages the growth of bacteria in the gravel to change the nitrites to nitrates to protect your
plants from nitrite poisoning and enhance plant growth.
ALWAYS BE PLANTING: A.B.P. - Your new mantra
