Hello Hoocho, I’m starting vertical hydroponic Lettuce indoor, I’m from India and used .54 gm of masterblend 4-18-38, .27gm of Epsom salt and .54gm calcium nitrate in 1liter water for Lettuce and I got EC 1.3 around 650ppm per liter. Is it enough for almost 4weeks old lettuce or do i need to increase the dose?

​@@atulsaini22how's your system working?

I’ve been growing everything in infinite heathy outside. I get free buckets from the local grocery store. Then I use a net pot filled with clay pebbles. When then water gets to an inch in the buckets (5 gallon) I fill them back halfway with nutrient solution. My goal is to have all of my vegetables grown at home. And you’ve come in clutch for all of this. So thank you.

Legendary man , love your work and vids

GLORIOUS!!! And repeatable! You did give that plant the gardening equivalent of CPR! Well done, good Sir, well done!!!

Best garden/grower channel on KZread. You provide so much good information and the videos are put together so well with the time lapses to show the results.

I harvested a bucket of bell peppers from 24 plants in nft this year. Grew awesome but was crazy how shallow the root system of the peppers is. Had root rotting as soon as they hit the water but they grew fine. Was thinking of trying a different method like this wicking system or bato buckets to have more media/air for them to make roots. Your roots look a lot healthier then mine did.

Haha loved that almost mad scientist laugh at 10:44! LOL

Question, so when the plant dies in the end can you recycle the media ? do you need to clean it somehow or how does that work ?

Thank you. Your videos are very inspirational and are helping me to start moving into hydroponic gardening as an adjunct to soil gardening, which I love.

Video editing is on point! keep up the good work. Also banger music!

Wow that time lapse was the absolute bomb! Great job!

With peppers, when you want more fruit, break off the biggest leaves.,within days you will see flowers forming.

Still the greatest channel to have ever been created. When are you getting your own Bunnings line bro?!

The cut-out piece bent up to hold the wicking is brilliant! Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much. For pollination, use an electric toothbrush.

What a great system. I am totally curious to hear if that one pepper plant recovers too.

Hey Hoocho, can you do a vid on pollination inside the greenhouse. Thanks for the great content.

Awesome videos. Greetings from Brazil!

Great work would like to see you do a almost closed loop of aquaponics and bees in a greenhouse

That's awesome, exactly what I want to know.

Thanks as always for the videos and teaching so much!

What song is on the time lapse? Love this system!

Great video+ garden is looking fantastic! Love all your ideas! Groovy song too. Been listening to this song heaps since I first watched this video few days ago!

@Hoocho - questions. Are you at the stage where we can order from you? I.e., the printed wicking spikes.

Nice 1 Mr Hoocho. Great experiment of the cost savings to be made.

Love the music selections!

Always happy to see a new video from you mate! Can't wait to see how those experimental potatoes come along.

what about using some electrical conduit to make grow spikes? 3 meters from bunnings is 5 bucks! Top work there buddy!

Thanks mate for another Great Video!😊

Wowwww. This is amazing. Really looking forward to going even lower perhabs say 2.5kg or even 1kg substrate or growing medium if this is going to make any significant differences

Thanks so much bro appreciated keep up the fantastic work!

I'm jealous!!!

Very very inspiring I will not stop trying

Great job

Hey ,Hoocho Iam from india.you are doing a great job,by proving info to all gardening lovers.Kudos to you.I want to know the nutrient mix for ginger and turmeric.

Hello! this idea is so interesting. great way to lessen the cost on setting up hydroponic system. one thing tho, since the roots are entering the system, it may eventually block the flow of the water, right?

Like your music..

I am so planning on attempting this system but with aquaponics. I am just worried about the root growth in pipes.

Hello I just stumbled across your channel and learned about the rain cutter hydroponic system that you created it and think it is a wonderful idea with infinite possibilities. I am having issues on looking at how you made your reservoir and how you add nutrients to the water.

Stingless bees as propagators - have inside the greenhouse with a pipe to allow them to exit the greenhouse perhaps?

Hoocho can you make this video so I can save it to my playlist? Thank you .

Wow its amazing thanks for sharing. How are you handling root roting?

Do you have less bugs in the greenhouse than you do outside the greenhouse? Like bugs that ruin the plants.

Do you have a video showing the making of your nutrient solution?

mate, I don't know how I haven't really got onto your channel much earlier! everything I've seen of yours over the last few days has been exactly the kind of stuff I've been wanting/needing to watch! Thanks so much! What are you using for your time lapse filming?

I'm so impressed of your bell bell pepper. I'm fully convinced that this Rain gutter system is one of the best system for Hydrophonics. By the way what is the size of that black poly plastic tubing?

Hi. I think that your plants grows more leaves than fruits or legumes. why ? When a plant have always water it feel that there is no need to produce fruits. But when a plant is stressed some times and feel a need to water it start produicing fruits.

Just wondering if maybe you would be interested in an experiment to see the difference in "Cloth" breathable Grow Bags instead of the Plastic? and the Effects of more readily available Oxygen? and the additional drain on the system of nutrient solution? Just an inquisitive idea?

can you do a video on how to prune these..

Wonder if you could put a be hive in there with an exit point for the bees both inside the greenhouse and outside? Might help pollination

Hi, is it true that you get a 12 month production out of plants that are grown in hydroponics? Wonderful stuff you do here! Thank you ❤

B- Roll is on point! Entire video was fantastic, I've just set up the same system using 3D printed parts from your Patreon 👍Currently growing tomatoes and capsicums. Have you ever showed the tomato clips you use? I've just bought some from amazon, but it might be good for the community to do a show and tell :) Also how is the custom hooch bucket going?

As a new subscriber I enjoyed this video and since I have only watch a few of your video's so far, I found this very informative. Will you grow these peppers out till their Red.?? I have been thinking strongly about growing a few things Hydroponically as I cannot control things like aphids and bloody weeds, and I don't really plant that much during the year anyway.

Thanks for an inspirational channel. I teach through a university and one subject I’m creating a presentation for is Aqua-Hydroponics. I utilize both in my home. Because you use media it doesn’t meet the criteria to state it grew hydroponically. Your system is equivalent to some sort of hybrid utilizing water from a bottom media and water reservoir. Interesting though

For your grow media do you use the core peat blocks and rehydrate them?

Excuse me. Can you told me what kind of rope material? PP ,Nylon or PS? or doesn't matter?

Awesome!

Feed a tea through the top with a k2so4 mkp mgso4 mix and see what happens to fruitset lol

Peppers!

Can i use a media of just beatmoss?

Hey Hoocho , i was wondering what was you final take on whether nft for tomatoes would be recommended? Did you find root blockage?

Need to know if the little guy made it out of live after being dissected 😢

How do you fertilize your fruiting flowers?

Ahh you spoke a bit about pollinating. But what plans do you have to pollinate within the greenhouse? Has to be a better way than manually transferring pollen lol

Hey Hoocho, Loving this channel, just set up my first RGGS with wick wedge and an NFT as well, we;ll see how the ginger does just south of the QLD border on the tablelands. Quick question, with the wick wedge and grow spike bags that are outdoors, do you pop holes in the base in the event of large rain, or does it just seep out vial the main hole in the base?

@Hoocho

9 ай бұрын

No need, it will drain into the res... and the surface area of the bags isn't enough to worry about collecting rain.

Do you think blockages could arise with the smaller bag sizes in the system due to roots exploring quicker

Awesome cappy.i have a question mate I'm in the tropics.would the solution dilute Too much in the wet season.or should I use clear plastic over my greenhouse?

@Hoocho

9 ай бұрын

I’ve never had problems with rain. Depends on the system. But if you calculated the area of the open top and then times that by the amount of rain you’ll get an understanding of how little it effects the system. Rain has always been a good replacement for water transpired in my opinion. For example. If you get 1ml of rain for every 1m square. That’s only a litre of water. You probable won’t have a meter of open top.

I've had bell peppers growing in krakty since june and absolutely no growth

@jeffmcwilliams4060

Despite Hoocho's pepper's roots growing into the pipe, peppers don't really like wet feet. Kratky probably isn't the best way to hydroponically grow them. I grew some in 2 gallon grow bags set on a pond liner and kept about 3/8" of water in the pond liner with one of Hoocho's float boxes. Most beautiful looking pepper plants I ever saw. Grew 5-6' tall but my greenhouse was too hot limiting flowering and when they did flower there weren't any bugs to pollinate them so I got very few peppers out of them. Same peppers in my garden only got 18" tall but they produced almost all my peppers. Also, a lot of them just fell over because they outgrew the stakes I used. Definitely need a way to tie them up if grown this way. Had same issues with both bell and jalapeno peppers. Roots did grow out of the bottom of the grow bags but not to the extent you saw in the video. Tomatoes had the same issues.

Why does everything I put in a jiffy pellet die
