Indoor Hydroponic Garden Update - PH & EC Testing - Tomato Blossom End Rot

In this Indoor hydroponic garden update I will be showing how I have treated a blossom end rot problem with my hydroponic tomatoes. I will demonstrate how to use a TDS and PH meter for indoor hydroponics. Welcome to the Saskatchewan Prairies, Growing Zone 3 - Canada! On my channel you will learn about cold climate growing techniques, indoor gardening during long cold winters and see what's cooking in the Little Garden Kitchen!

Wow thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Oh pooo blossom end rot is so annoying. Hope you can get it figured out.

[Hayley-sllm]

They say that you can give foliar calcium applications... But I'm not sure you'd want to do that inside unless your space is really well ventilated. In my experience if a plant gets blossom end rot, it takes a really long time and babying to fix. Your plants look way better already! I think it's amazing that you're growing those inside in an aqueous solution. Props 👏

EC should be 2.0 with a PH of 5.8 to 6.0 Hope this helps ya some. I posted a link on your FB page post for the BER..

My first tomato has blossom end rot but yesterday was fine. I use Masterblend so this is getting out of hand as I couldn't hydroponic in the summer due to heat (I lost everything) and I can't hydro in fall/winter due to being too dry.

I use Masterblend tomatoe formula and have taken both levels of his hydroponics course. He says, and I confirmed with research, that TOMATOES want an EC OF 2-3.5 and a ph of 6-6.5, which is on your card.
Peppers want EC of 2-3
He also said to change out the nutrients every month.
I bought that meter set you have and mine was pretty crappy -so I bought a better ph meter that could be calibrated and that has made a huge difference. The EC monitor is pretty unpredictable as when I test, rinse and test again, the readings are different😢. I am growing Tiny Tim tomatoes in Kratky in a mason jar. My plants have tons of green tomatoes right now and they are drinking like crazy.
How have you found the taste of your tomatoes grown in hydro?

Wow! Sorry to see that happen! I'm curious about the taste of a tomato grown by hydroponics. Do they taste like the great outdoors or like a bland hothouse tomato. Just wondering. I've never tasted on grown that way. Thanks for how to's.Take care and stay warm!
