Here's my green balcony :)

I just started with hydroponics. Some of my plants are already in hydro, but most are still soil based.

I plan to convert future plants to hydro in the future, but right now, I wanna see how it goes.

Also, I will of course post an update in a few months, when the plants are bigger. Right now, they are all pretty young and some might not surive due to the transfer stress from soil to hydro.

What do I grow?

Weed (CBD, THC, autoflower and photoperiodic strains), some young ones in hydro, most in soil for now
Symbiotic plants, e.g. dill (mite repelling) or soy (nitrogen fixing)
Herbs (sage, parsley, basil, thai basil, etc.)
Strawberries
Cantaloupe
Berries
Chillies
Catnip
and more

Looks great! I had an aquaponic setup going on my porch a few years back, and it worked like magic. I've never done any substantial hydroponics setups. Do you have to do much water testing?
