This is what a KZread channel should be, sharing information in a collaborative way without always trying to sell something...how refreshing! I do have a question you may have already answered in previous videos..what size Oasis cubes are used in your propagation method? I see there are several cube sizes available and wanted to buy the ones shown in your setup..Oasis is an expensive part of the system. Bests to you both ! Stay Well and Stay Safe

Fantastic!!! You guys are doing a great job. Thank you for taking time to show us your process. Question: Do we need a heating mat in hot season and do we need lightening for germination and growth of the plant if we are in country where we have sun light all the time? Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for such informative videos guys. I'd like to know about all the automation you use in your greenhouse - do you have a pH controller/ feeder, TDS measuring unit, heating and cooling automation, nutrient feeding unit, nutrient pumping cycles etc.

Thank you for your help

A topic point for one of your up and coming videos is how you deal with white mildew that shows up on your lettuce (or any other disease). How do you treat, do you dump, do you have to do any disinfect of the troughs, water lines, and or reservoirs.

Thank you so much for the info I love your videos , I have a question , what day and night time temperatures do you keep you greenhouse at during the winter and do you use a dehumidifier if so which one . I thank you again I look forward to your reply .

Thanks that was great. So do you run 1/2 strength nutrients in the white trays for propagation? Also are you still doing your microgreens? I’d love to see a video about being efficient with seeding/harvesting/packing etc and how many people does it take to run the lettuce house constantly? Thanks for inspiring us to start our own.

I'm starting my lettuce seeds very similar to your process. Seeds in water soaked rockwool on a heating pad. So just to clarify, after you start to see the first formation of leaves you remove them and put them under light but do not feed any fertilized water until they move to the next racks? Or are they sitting in a light mix of water/fert in the second set of trays under the light? About how long do you keep them in that second stage inder the lights before moving to the grow out stage with full fert? Thanks for your videos. They have been very helpful.

Thank you so much for the video. I always look forward to your videos everyweek. I was waiting for it yesterday too. Glad to see this today. Questions: 1) what nutrients do you use for propagation? Is that different than the nft system nutrients? And if they are same, are they in same concerntration? 2) how frequently do you top the propagation and main reservoir. How does the math work for the topping the nutrients in terms of keeping ideal concentration and the volume in the tank? How frequently do you competely change the water? 3) In an event of power cut, how long before the plant roots start to dry? In other word, how much time do you have for starting pumps on generator without loosing any plants to drying? 4) when is the ideal time to clean main reservoir? And what is minimum size of the tank and volume of nutrients do you need for system such as yours? Do you use any cleaning agent to clean the troughs and tank? Pheww.. thats it for now. See you next week!!!

Thank you for sharing. What are the dimensions of hydroponic channels.

Yall have it all down to a science. How do you think the hydroponic stacks up against something grown in the ground as far as taste and nutrients? I know we get tomatoes here in the South that were grown in a greenhouse and they don't have much flavor. I have always been curious about that. The Hydro looks to be far superior as far as growing and ease of growing.

Be nice to see the back connectors. Looks like a pipe with distribution hoses.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I've learned so much from your channel, and you've inspired me! 😀 I have a question regarding your finishing troughs - I've watched a lot of your videos however you haven't mentioned where you get your troughs?

I ordered some of the Essential Plus you listed in an older video. It is now marked “NOT FOR USE ON FOOD CROPS.” I spoke with the manufacturer and found there is a new product called Essential AG for food crops. I also noted here you say you only use water now. Can you clarify how you are starting your seeds and if you are using anything besides water? I think the older video also said you used half strength nutrients in the flood tables. Is that still the case? Thanks for sharing all of the info. You’ve been very helpful in getting started!

It may be a different reason, but that’s what he stated. The warning on the bottle says not for use on food crops and there are also warnings about h316 and h320. Not sure what those are.

Anything more and i find you risk drowning the seeds. We do a 5 minute pre soak with a hydrogen peroxide/water mix and then a rinse. We then place them in hot water and sit for the specified number of hours. The water will cool over that time. Not boiling water, but hot enough that you can have your hand in. My current lot germination works well with 4 hours. Previous one was 8. Talking with Mumm's, this is what they have found as well.

Great video, can't wait for next week. The AmHydro propagation trays are also called fodder trays on their website. Would love to find something like that this side of the pond... Also with regards to seeding... you mention that you double seed you Swiss chard??? It's my understanding that chard seeds are a berry and one berry can produce multiple plants. Are you using a processed seed, such as a pelleted seed or do you just use a regular berry but double up... Waiting for JT to open up to travel, we have flights booked for Feb next year but don't see it likely. Stay safe and thanks for the amazing content. Hugs from Madeira Island!
