Start with Seed Germination

If you choose to grow your peas using the seed method, you’ll first need to start germinating them. Place a seed into soil and wait for a few weeks for germination to begin. Once you have one or two leaves, it’s time to put it into your hydroponic system.

Setting Up Your Hydroponic System

Once you’ve placed your plant into your hydroponic system, you can add in your solution and feed. Keep an eye on your plant and wait for it to grow. Green peas tend to grow pretty tall, so you’ll need some type of trellis or support system to allow the plant to grow up on. This will improve the yield of your Green Peas. Climbing peas can grow up to 8 feet, while bush green peas can grow up to 2 feet. Keep this in mind when deciding to grow them! Do you have enough space and light?

Tips for Successful Growth

To ensure a successful harvest, there are a few tips to keep in mind. Make sure your hydroponic system is set up properly and that the pH level is between 5.5 and 6.5. Green peas don’t require pollination, so you don’t have to worry about bees or other insects. However, you’ll need to keep the temperature between 15-20°C for optimal growth. Additionally, make sure to keep your system clean to avoid any potential diseases that could harm your plants.
