How to make your own nutrient solution for hydroponic green radish

1. Homemade method

1. Prepare a basin of water, take a shovel, and find a place in the woods with many fallen leaves, because such places have more nutrient solution. Use a shovel to dig about 10 cm of soil into the pot, the more the better, fill it with water and stir with a stick for 5-10 minutes.

Leave it there for half an hour, the water will become turbid but the nutrient solution is the best. If you really can't accept it, just leave it there. When the water feels almost clear, you can pour it out and use it for hydroponics.

2. Maintenance Tips

1. Add water: When growing green radish in water, be sure not to immerse all the roots in water. 1/3 of the roots should be exposed outside, and the leaves should not be exposed to water. Long-term soaking of leaves in water will cause leaf rot. Usually, change the water once every half a month or so, and add water when there is less water to control the water amount.

2. Sunlight: The requirements of the green radish for light are not particularly high. It only needs a place with scattered light. It should be exposed to the sun occasionally so that the air can flow smoothly and be fresh. It can grow faster and the leaves will be larger, more stretched and lush.

3. Pruning: During the growth period of the green radish, some old roots will wither, so it is necessary to prune them in time when changing the water to remove the useless old roots. This way the nutrients are more concentrated, allowing it to grow stronger.
