Showcase of my, partly hydroponic, balcony garden (including cats) (self.balconygardening)

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
