Panduan Menanam Selada Hidroponik Lengkap

Summary

This video details the step-by-step process of growing lettuce using the NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system. It begins with preparing planting materials like rockwool, watering them, and inserting Bohemia seeds. After germination, the plants are moved to a nursery with air circulation and nutrients. Once the plants mature, they are transferred to a maturation table for harvesting, ensuring continuous crop rotation. The video highlights the benefits of the NFT system, showcasing large, healthy lettuce plants and demonstrating the impressive weight of the produce at harvest. It's an informative guide for anyone interested in hydroponic farming.

Takeaways

• 😀 Preparation of planting materials begins with cutting rockwool into pieces for the seeding process.
• 💧 Watering the rockwool evenly ensures it is completely soaked before inserting seeds.
• 🌱 Bohemia seeds are used for this process, which are carefully inserted into the rockwool with chopsticks.
• 🔪 Holes are made in the rockwool before inserting the seeds to ensure proper placement and growth.
• 🌒 After seeding, the planted media should be kept in a dark place or covered with plastic overnight.
• 🌿 After one week, seedlings develop three leaves, and it's time to transfer them to a nursery.
• 💦 The nursery has Khoiri air and water nutrients of 500-600 PPM to support plant growth.
• 🌱 Plants are spaced to promote faster and healthier growth in the nursery.
• 🚜 Once lettuce reaches around two weeks old, it is transferred to the rejuvenation table for further development.
• 🍃 After proper growth, the lettuce plants are moved to the maturation table to prepare for harvesting.
• 🥗 The NFT system used avoids netpots, allowing plant roots to reach water directly for optimal growth.
• ⚖️ A mature lettuce plant, around 40 days old, weighs approximately 530 grams and is ready to harvest.

Q & A

What is the first step in the seeding process?

The first step is to prepare the planting materials, specifically rockwool, which is cut into pieces.

How do you prepare the planting medium for the seeds?

You water the rockwool evenly with water until it is completely saturated.

What kind of seeds are being used in the seeding process?

Bohemia seeds are being used for the planting process.

How are the seeds inserted into the planting medium?

Chopsticks are used to make holes in the rockwool and then insert the seeds into the holes.

What should be done after all the seeds are inserted into the planting medium?

After inserting the seeds, leave the planting medium in a dark place or cover it with plastic or a tray, and leave it overnight.

What happens after the seeds have been left in the dark for a while?

The seeds will begin to sprout, and some may grow to be a week old with three leaves, at which point they can be transferred to a nursery.

What is the purpose of the nursery in this process?

The nursery is used to separate plants from each other and provide them with nutrients, allowing them to grow quickly.

What kind of nutrient solution is used in the nursery?

The plants in the nursery are provided with a nutrient solution that has a concentration of around 500-600 PPM.

When is the next stage for the lettuce plants after the nursery?

Once the lettuce plants are less than two weeks old and of a certain size, they are moved to the rejuvenation table.

What is the purpose of the maturation table?

The maturation table is used to rotate crops and allow plants to grow to full maturity, so they can be harvested weekly or daily.

Why does the system not use netpots for the lettuce plants?

Netpots are not used because the system employs an NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system, where the roots need to be directly in contact with water.

How do you determine when the lettuce plants are ready for harvest?

When the lettuce plants reach about 40 days old and appear large and healthy, they are ready for harvest.

How is the size of the lettuce plants measured during harvest?

The weight of the lettuce plants is measured using a digital scale to determine their size.

What was the weight of the lettuce plant from the example shown in the video?

The lettuce plant weighed 530 grams, which is considered large and fertile.
