Hi, wondering if you could share some basic details for the hydroponic feeding? I have a similar setup and just started with masterblend tomato nutrients, EC is around 1.5 and PH is 5.8. I noticed you had a moisture sensor in there, so I was curious about your dosing, as whenever I am doing root crops like that, I've had poor success too far (too wet, the coco choir/perlite wicks too well). Thanks in advance.

My hydroponic lettuce is wimpy. I am using led lights on a bakers rack indoors, 1 gallon containers with 1 tsp Maxigro 10-5-14, I see the same thing with Black Seeded Simpson and Tom Thumb. Even if I cool the lettuce down in an ice bath it is still not crispy.

Are there any commercial advantages to propagating tomatoes vs starting from seed with such a high seed cost? They seem to prop pretty easily.
@puntabachata9 күн бұрын
I'm confused. I thought ydroponics was growing plants without soil.
@HomegrownPassion9 күн бұрын
Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants using a water-based nutrient solution rather than soil, and can include an aggregate substrate, or growing media, such as vermiculite, coconut coir, or perlite. The ginger was fed a nutrient solution. The growing medium is neutral with no nutrients and only used to support the plant.

Wow that’s awesome! What was all that white stuff on the roots of that big big chunk you pulled up? Looked like perlite at the bottom? Never done deep water or any submerged watering before😊

@@HomegrownPassion I had a tiny harvest this year (my first year gardening). I harvested too early because I was concerned that they may be rotting. I had baby /young ginger. (some people prefer that). I just read on a FB group to store ginger in sand (and save some to start next year's harvest). I made ginger bug with mine.

Ive made it and the family loved it. The other fun thingvto donwith red jalapeños is to cut in half and put in the smoker forvabout an hour at 250°f. Then i put in the dehydrator to make smoked red pepper powder. Or if you buy it its Chipotle powder. Ive also fermented them with salt brine and garlic and after about 3 months i blend and season with a bit of vinegar to help preserve the flavor and its kinda like your own sraracha sauce. You can add carrots to ferment if you like a milder hot sauce too or add a few habenaros if you like it more hot and spicy.

I love micro greens. One that i had never thought to grow came as a free sample packet of seeds from a big seed order. It was Japanese giant red mustard. I grew it and snacked on the babies as i thinned them. When they got big, they were a bit to hit and bitter for me and the family, but the microgreens were a lovely wasabi flavored hit! We loved them as microgreens, so i just grow about 3 or 4 big plants every year for the seeds. Just 3 to 4 plants gives me about a cup of seed. So when im going a sushi night with family i start them about 7 to 10 days before. A sprinkle of them on sushi is as close to real wasabi as I've ever found. Its better then the green tube you can buy by far. I was lucky and have tried real wasabi root when i lived in Florida. Its got that hot horseradishy kick but a green almost floral after taste. The red giant mustard microgreens are absolutely a must on sushi in our house now. Once again. I love your videos. Hope youre having a great holiday season. 💓 ❤
