I just want to make sure I maximize my set up to grow a wide a variety of crops as possible. I was thinking using the two separate 46G sections to run 2 seperate systems. One for non-fruiting crops (lettuce, herbs) and one for fruiting ones (peppers, tomatoes). Does this sound right?
Everybody seems to always want to grow all kinds of crops using the same reservoir. However often they would be better off scaling back the variety of plants. But for sure, use one reservoir for fruiting plants, and the other for non fruiting plants. It's not just the nutrients you use, but also how strong they are, and the size of the plants that affect how much they need. But you can always try. You probably wont get blue ribbon plants and fruits, but I don't think your expecting that.
