Rice husk medium for hydroponics using npk 20-20-20
How different is rice husk from coco peat, given that coco peat absorbs Ca and Mg, so Ca and Mg need to be supplemented the first year in coco peat, is it same for rice husk. How is the water retention in rice husk?

No, rice husk doesnt have this issue... but it decomposes relatively quickly... nonetheless it is nice medium for soil-less growing

I would suggest to soak rice husk overnight in water to completely absorb water... use Mono Ammonium Phosphate 1 gm in 2 liter twice weekly for one month... this will boost the root growth and after one month you can start 20:20:20...

ASSALAM O ALAIKUM , Izhar bhai
if we are starting the plants from seeds in peat moss OR cocopeat then what we should give them with water right after germination ? can we give MAP 1 Gram in 2 litres of water to feed them ? Please advice .
More over , please also advice Regarding German Johnson OR ROMA tomoato , after shifting the seedling to Kratky what nutrients we should give in what PPMs ? i have 20 20 20 with trace elements , how much should b the PPM in the bucket (without airation system)

you can give MAP up to 1.5 gm per liter after one pair of true leaves are developed after germination... 20:20:20 is not suitable for Kratky method... results are not good...nadeem5476 wrote: ↑October 2nd, 2018, 12:04 pmASSALAM O ALAIKUM , Izhar bhai
