About this episode
In this episode of Hydroponics Daily, Dr. Russell Sharp explores an unconventional yet highly effective approach to plant growth: using your shadow as a fertilizer. Drawing on over three decades of experience, Dr. Sharp emphasizes the importance of being physically present in your grow room or garden to monitor and address issues such as pests, diseases, and nutrient imbalances before they escalate. He highlights the limitations of automation and the value of personal engagement in enhancing plant health and yield. Dr. Sharp further contrasts the cost-free benefits of using your shadow with the premium features of Gold Leaf, also known as Liquid Gold in the UK, a top-tier fertilizer alternative. Listeners are encouraged to balance technology with time spent among their plants to enjoy and optimize their hydroponic setups. The episode also addresses common overzealous practices that can hinder growth, such as early defoliation and premature harvesting, urging growers to consider timing and patience for the best results. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser
