I am currently growing salvia hydroponically. my setup is as follows:
3:1 perlite:vermiculite
Miracle Grow Patio (20-20-20) fertilizer, 1/2tsp
per Gallon
24/0 light:dark, with 2x 48" flourescent soft white bulbs.
the
smallest air pump whisper makes, with two "air stones," about 6" long each,
airating the water.
the cutting is residing in a gallon water bottle with holes through the bottom for draining/irrigation. the bottle is in a large (2'x3'x8") tub, with about 1.5" of water/fertilizer in the bottom.
total cost of setup:
tub - $5 at Wal-Mart
Fertilizer - $3 at Home Depot
Shop Light (with
bulbs) - $10 at Home Depot
Vermiculite 8qt - $3 at Home Depot
Perlite 8qt
- $3 at Home Depot
Water Jug (as if you didnt have one) - $.87 at
Vons
Salvia cutting - I cut it from other plants which were givent to me by a
friend
total cost: $26.
power consumption is probably less than 40W.
I will keep results posted to the list. The plant looks super happy, and its only been in the perlite for 1 day! :) :)
Danke,
alex
