Is it good to add rice water to the water of hydroponic green radish? Will it grow more vigorously? Will it cause root rot?

1. Is it okay to put rice water?

When growing green radish in water, it is not a good idea to add water used to wash rice into it. The plants grow in water, which requires the water to be kept clean so that they can develop better. If this is put directly into it, it will continue to ferment and deteriorate the water quality, making the water turbid and causing damage to the plants. Not only that, if you continue to soak it in there, it will deteriorate, produce bad odors, and affect the air in the house. If you want to increase nutrients, you can apply some liquid fertilizer specifically for hydroponics, or add vitamin B12, which can provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of the plants.

2. Can it grow more vigorously? Will the roots rot?

If you put water used to wash rice into hydroponic plants, it will not make the plants more vigorous. On the contrary, because the concentration is too high, it will easily burn the roots under the plants and cause the roots to rot. The water used to wash rice is only suitable for growing green radish in soil. The plant can also grow in the soil and will not cause these problems.
