Growing Palak / Spinach Through Hydroponics offers excellent health benefits. Unfortunately, many growers live in areas where the growing season of spinach is limited to spring and autumn. To extend the season, some growers have tried to plant hydroponic spinach at home, but with little success. Some find that internal hydroponic spinach turns sour. This leaves local growers asking, "How do you grow a delicious hydroponic spinach?" Information on Caring for Pothos Plants Tips for Growing Spinach Hydroponic Undoubtedly, growing spinach using hydroponics is much harder than other leafy vegetables, such as lettuce or herbs. Although farming techniques are similar, there are many problems that can lead to crop failure or spicy spinach. To improve your success rates, try these tips from growers of indoor hydroponic spinach: Use fresh seeds. Spinach can take anywhere from 7 to 21 days to germinate. It is disappointing to wait just three weeks for low germination rates due to old seeds. Sow four to five seeds in each hole. Commercial growers each have their own favorite place to grow, but agree that heavy sowing ensures at least one solid, healthy seedling per cell or cube. Cold stratify seeds. Refrigerate the seeds of spinach one to three weeks before sowing. Some commercial growers believe that the time of cold division produces healthy crops. Keep the spinach seeds wet. Poor germination and poor yields occur when sown seeds are allowed to dry out during germination. Do not use seed-burning mats. Spinach is a cool climate plant that thrives between 40 and 75 degrees F. (4-24 C.). High temperatures cause poor germination. Stagger Planting. To have a continuous discovery of fresh spinach, plant seeds every two weeks. Time to switch to hydroponics. Ideally, stop placing spinach seedlings in a hydroponic system until the roots have been expanded from the germination area. The seedling should be 2 to 3 inches tall (2-7.6 cm.) And have true 3 to 4 true leaves. Tighten the seedlings if necessary. Control the temperature. As a cool climate plant, spinach grows best when daytime temperatures are between 65- and 70-degrees F. (18-21 C.) and nighttime temperatures are 60- to 65-degree F. (16 -18 C.) width. Warm temperatures cause the spinach to swell, which increases the bitterness. Do not overcook the spinach. Start feeding the spinach seedlings when planted in a hydroponic system. Commercial growers recommend a weak hydroponic nutrient solution to start (about amandla energy) and gradually increase energy. Burning of the leaf tip indicates very high nitrogen levels. Internal hydroponic spinach also benefits from extra calcium and magnesium. Avoid excessive light. To grow well, keep 12 hours of light in the sun when planting spinach using hydroponics. Light blue color promotes leaf growth and is desirable for hydroponic spinach production. Reduce fertilizer strength and temperature before harvest. The trick to producing more flavorful spinach is to reduce the local temperature by a few degrees and to reduce the hydroponic nutrients like spinach plants as they mature. Although planting hydroponic spinach at home requires more attention than other crops, producing edible crop from seed to harvest in five and a half weeks makes it worth the effort!
