Hi! I just encountered this video of yours, and this is precisely what I was looking for. I wanna grow cherry tomatoes with cocopeat & perlite etc, but I'm really curious what nutrients & fertilizers to use - 1)- Right after germination. 2)- What plant growth fertilizers to use since transplantation to till flowering stage. 3)- And once it starts flowering, what blooming fertilizers to use? If you could please share any detailed videos on this, that'd be of great help.

This is very well explained my friend

Propagation: I place the propagation tray on a solid tray and bottom water no more than 4mm in the bottom tray. I top water only once when the seeds are placed. I find it reduces molding in my area. Cheap Tomatoes: If you are late in the season and need more plants I look in the garden centers for transplants. What is left generally is very leggy which is why they are left over and about to be thrown away. I can usually get 4-5 6 packs for $1. When I get them home I repot them deep so the soil level is just below the first leaves. The entire stem will go to root and the plant will take off. A second succession for little money and no delay waiting for seeds to sprout.

thank you

Hi, another excellent content. I am considering roof top hydroponics garden, problem is there is a truss fabrication in place, means no direct sunlight. Is this a fools errand? We do have long and hot sunny days. Thanks

Thank you sir for the excellent video👍 Has me excited to try this out ASAP. I had 2 questions: 1) Would the nutrients build up in the cocopeat over a few days as water evaporates or gets absorbed by the plants? Can the EC increase to very high value? 2) What are the benefits of a full blown Dutch bucket system over this apart from reduction in water consumption? The simplicity of this method is really exciting.

Hello, great video. Thank you. 1) Can you kindly mention what are the seasons for growing cherry tomatoes 2) How long does a plan yield tomatoes for, do you discard the plants after the harvest? 3) Whats the ideal temperature to grow tomatoes? 4) Is soil/compost a must while growing cherry tomatoes? Hope to hear from you soon

Hello Sir, i have a question regarding cherry tomatoes and sunlight. I want to grow cherry tomatoes using kratky method, (passive hydroponic), in an area of my balcony that recieves sunlight in only area. So, for initial yield, i want to put my plant there. But when it starts growing, i want to make a trellis connection extending to the roof, which is completely shaded, because there is already infratsutructure there for the tomato plant to climb on. What should i do? Will the creeping plant require sunlight too or can it only be for the base plant?

The 18 minutes just flew by. It is nice to see links to the nutrients in the description. One question that needs answering is how much nutrients are absorbed per day until flowering starts and then afterwards. The impact of temperature on EC. May be you could include this in your next video.

Hey what variety of tomato is this?

Very useful, Thank you very much. Want to know if so many leaves are required or we can start removing leaves from bottom? Also, can we still keep EC of 2 - 2.5 if the temperature is on higher side?

@TheGeekgardener

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment. The thumbrule is that you remove the leaves that are below the first truss of fruits. This variety of cherry tomato is actually generative in nature so a little more of those leaves dont hurt. But should you see more leaves and less fruits. Cutting down on the leaves without affecting their productivity is ok. We actually keept 2-2.5 at higher temperatures also. Tomatoes can handle upto 5-6 EC. But that will cause stress on the plant at higher temperatures. The best guide for that is to check the drip and drain EC for the growing media. That will tell you whether you are on the higher side or the lower side. sorry about the long reply.

Almost on all the farms I have setup, watering is from the top. Although bottom watering can be slightly more beneficial interms of not getting the leaves wet. All the seedlings are in full sun ( under a greenhouse) . We transplant in the evenings and next day they are in full sun. Hardening may be required if there is a large difference in parameters such as temp, humidity etc between the nursery area and planting area

Thanks for your comment. NFT systems are primarily meant for short term crops. Leafy greens are the best suited crops for NFT. Tomatoes can technically be grown in NFT ( I have grown it). But It is not viable or recommended for commercial purposes. Growing crops in cocopeat is also called Hydroponics. More specifically called Substrate culture. Best suited for long term plants.

@TheGeekgardener

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Raghu, Watering should be done in such a way that it saturates the entire media inthe pot. It should be done slowly. Top drip is the best way as it uses gravity and capillarity to spread through the entire substrate. Start the drip irrigation, wait for the water to get drained at the bottom. At that time you can note down the timing and set it for regular watering. Hope this helps

I think that problem also happened to my G.Basil Plants. Holy Basil kept doing great.
