  Broccoli planting methods can now be applied in many ways. This time we will provide a brief review of an easy way to plant broccoli using hydroponics in a very simple way.

 

 The first step is to provide rockwool or a stereophone that we have soaked in water first.

Spread the seeds into the media that we have prepared,,

Then keep the media in which we have spread the seeds moist.

 After a few days, the seeds that we have scattered and transferred to a hydroponic system with maintained nutrients are visible.

 keep the temperature and humidity, especially the nutrition, stable.

 maintenance, including watering, weeding, and pest and disease control.

 Broccoli can be harvested in 2-3 months, when the flowers are dense but not yet blooming.

  * Here are the detailed steps :

- Preparation of seedling media

MEDIA :

- use media such as rockwool or stereofoam cork which we have soaked in water mixed with nutrient solution.

SOAKING SEEDS :

- Soak broccoli seeds in warm water for several hours, this method will speed up germination.

SEEDING :

- Place the germinated seeds into the media and ensure that they remain moist.

SEEDLING CARE : 

- Maintain media humidity, provide sufficient light ( but do not expose to direct sunlight).

and do weeding if there are weeds or ants that can interfere with seed growth.

 SYSTEM :

- Choose a suitable hydroponic system, such as a wick system, drip system, or we can apply it using NFT (nutrient film technique).

GROWING MEDIA : 

- Use inert planting media, such as gravel, perlite or rockwool to maintain humidity.

NUTRIEN :

- Prepare a hydroponic nutrient solution that contains, among other things, the macro and micro elements that broccoli plants need most.

According to the national agricultural journal, the ideal pH of the nutrient solution is around 6.0 - 6.8.

PLANTING : 

- Move the sprouted broccoli seeds into the hydroponic system we prepared earlier, and make sure the roots are submerged in the nutrient solution.

* PLANT CARE 

WATERING : 

- water the broccoli plants with the nutrient solution they need

PEST & DISEASES CONTROL :

- Carry out regular checks on broccoli plants. If you find signs of weeds or other pests, deal with them immediately to prevent them from impacting other plants.

FERTILIZATION : 

- Do additional fertilization if necessary, especially if the broccoli plants appear to be lacking nutrients.

TEMPERATURE :

- brocoli plants required relativey cool temperature, the temperature is adjusted to the range of 15-20 degress celcius so thats brocoli plants grow optimally

So, that's a brief review from us regarding the simple method of planting broccoli using hydroponics.

Hopefully this can add to the information you need.
