Aquaponics: Duckweed!

16 Feb

Some photos of the AP system showing the duckweed I tried reproducing after seeing them from a nearby canal. They multiply so quickly!

    Hi! How did you manage to successfully reproduce your duckweed? Thanks!

      Hi!

      Reproducing duckweed can be quite tricky. But here are some things that I noticed to have worked:
      – Sunlight – mine grew sporadically under the light from my transparent plastic roof
      – Stagnant water – I had to find a way to have the flow from the filtration stopped (or weakened) when they are about to enter the growing container of the duckweed.

      I am still learning about it. Duckweed has great potential, don’t they? 😀
