Hi there ! Have you ever tried to plant your tomatoes roots upside down in your dutch bucket system?

Hello! I was wondering why you chose to do the layering of substrates in your Dutch buckets? I work at Hudson Farm Club, and we have had clogging issues with using just the perlite so I am wondering if this will help decrease that. I also noticed you didn't strain out the dust from the perlite and vermiculite. Has that caused any issues in your system? Thanks!

We find it helps with water retention...perolite does not hold any water...we don't have issues with clogging....never have...the bato bucket has a u drain in the bottom that prevents the medium from gong into the drain system. Same on dust never had a problem... hope that answers your question.

I also tried some experiments with indoor hydroponics lettuces and different LED lights. The results were similar with the leaves not very bunches. I think the light sources needs to be stronger to induce the tight bunched lettuce but that gets expensive as wattage increase. In my expereince, the lettuce taste was a little bit off. I think I left the lettuce growing too long and it bolted. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYJ-x8-ndNiqZ9Y.html
