    I tried hydrogel will kill the plants roots system as it will not allow any oxygen, also when it is in contact with soil it releases the water and dissolves as soon as it comes in contact with calcium in soil. So there is no agricultural usage and don't benefit in any agricultural . Also if you use chemical hydrogel it will pollute the soil and healthy microbes in soil will die. So friends research properly and don't buy any hydrogel products

    Yes increase ppm after seedlings to flowering. i use about 50% strength nutrients throughout the life of the plant, given how much water outdoor kratky plants drink, i felt that any stronger of feeding would burn the plant.

    this plant for sure drank more than that each day. I think that has to do with soil slowing down the nutrient/water update. water and food are just more easily available to the plants in hydro, so it grows faster. thanks for checking out my content!

    If this is about tomatoes, there are interesting varieties available. I have a couple plants that won't grow taller than 2 feet before flowering and growing suckers out. But it's highly dependent on the market. People here usually grow in very limited spaces like balconies, so small varieties (with equally small fruit of course) are a huge chunk of the sales.

    Hydrogel is of course not a SUBSTRATE! Hydrogel is introduced into the substrate (soil) before planting and when watered with water in which fertilizer is mixed, the liquid is absorbed by the hydrogel and the plant has access to water and nutrients all the time without stress when there is too much water and too little over time. The war is much better and the harvest much more plentiful. The hydrogel is biodegradable and stays in the soil for up to eight years. It then decomposes. Not harmful to the environment!
