Hydroponic Recap
Take yourself there....
The fans blow the warm 70 degree breeze through the billowing leafy greens, the sound of flowing water surrounds the 4320 sq. ft greenhouse and the aroma of fresh basil wafts through the air.
It's Friday morning, day 2 of our seminar, and the greenhouse is bustling with excitement. The students are beaming as they prepare to get to work in our greenhouse breakout sessions.
Station 1: Seeding Techniques
Joe Swartz, leading hydroponic consultant and VP of AmHydro, shows our students the seeding tray technique for planting. Using Oasis growing cubes and the EZ Seeder, growers are able to seed hundreds of plants at once.
Station 2: Nutrient Solution and Transplanting
Students transplant arugula from nursery channels to finishing channels. This exemplifies AmHydro's space saving Crop Turn Technology which allows for the highest producing NFT system on the market. And...it's lots of fun!
Back to the recirculating system for 2 more weeks before harvest.
Station 3: Harvest Time
Students perform quality control by scrutinizing each plant to ensure market standards are met. Here, they are harvesting basil in 5 lb boxes to be delivered fresh to local grocery stores and restaurants in Humboldt County.
Station 4: Tending Vine Crops
AmHydro's grower, Chris, leads the students in suckering tomatoes and training cucumbers to grow up and not out. He explains his daily growers' log and shows the students how to grow happy productive vine crops.
Other topics covered during the seminar:
