Comment by Alessandro Colagrosso on July 27, 2012 at 8:05pm: Buenas tardes Roxana,

las cantidades de hierro dependen del producto a utilizar y la forma de aplicación, aquí te envió dos datos encontrados:

Hierro quelatado (13% EDTA Fe) 2 mg/L cada 3 semanas, en el agua.

Aplicación foliar de 3 mL de sulfato de hierro al 5% diluido en 250 mL de agua a las lechugas cada semana.

Saludos,

Alessandro

Comment by Roxana González on July 27, 2012 at 7:02pm: Sí gracias, creo esperaré para comprar la piedrilla ya que tendríamos que meter más mangueras. En cada macetero.

Ah, me pueden ayudar: cual es la cantidad de quelato de hierro y extracto de alga marina se debe agregar¿

Comment by Farmer Brown on July 27, 2012 at 1:14pm: Roxana: Def hay que tener aire difusiendose en el agua cuando tenes rafts. si no, las plantas no tendran suficiente y fijo se mueren.

Comment by Roxana González on July 27, 2012 at 1:11pm: una consulta tenemos otros 4 maceteros sin sustrato solamente con agua, pensamos usar en estos el metodo de water rafts culture. Hemos visto que en algunos sistemas le ponen una manguera con aire?

Comment by Roxana González on July 27, 2012 at 12:10am: Super feliz el sistema de aquaponia empezo a funcionar, se que debe llegar a un equilibrio, hoy sembramos lechuga, apio y albahaca. !!

Comment by Alessandro Colagrosso on July 10, 2012 at 11:03am: Buenos días Juan Urbina, el defecto del tanque no se podría resolver reforzando con un marco o enterrando el tanque?

Saludos.

Comment by Luis Chacon on July 5, 2012 at 9:44pm: Estaba observando las fotos que subiste de los sifones y vi que pusiste el sifón en el centro, o siempre he visto que lo ponen hacia una esquina la del lado contrario de donde se llena, porque no intentas con el sistema de sifón de Travis W. Hughey que fue el que invento el sistema de barrilponia

Comment by Luis Chacon on July 5, 2012 at 9:37pm: Roxana y porque crees que no funcionan??

Comment by Roxana González on July 5, 2012 at 5:32pm: frustrada los sifones no funcionan, bueno conectamos el sistema unos funcionan bien, luego dejan de funcionar, caos total
