Did they continue to grow? Assume you can’t top them if you want them to keep putting on new sprouts?
@completegrowing5427 6 күн бұрын
They kept growing. Cutting the tops did stop them. Finally had to take them out for the next plants - tomatoes, peppers, beans and cucumbers. These are better for the warmer weather anyway.

What watering schedule do you set the timer to? Is this just a trial and error thing? I’m growing outdoors and in a hot climate. (Zone 8).
@completegrowing5427 2 ай бұрын
It does depend on weather, what grow media you are using, and plant size. Start with 4 times a day (15 minutes each). In the hottest time, you could even leave it on during the daylight period. You can't overwater because it continually drains.

Im assuming the watering recirculates? How do/often to clean? What can/not be planted? What I need to install grow lights like I read need to be installed if I were growing things hydroponically indoors? Also are these buckets with perlite only used for starting to process, replanting something that has already sprouted, or from start to finish? I apologize for all the questions have never done anything like this but I want to very badly.
@completegrowing5427 2 ай бұрын
Water recirculates saving water. Just top off water, clean maybe once a year if needed. Literally anything can be planted. Even have papaya trees in the buckets. Grow lights indoors are needed. If only leafy plants you only need 6100K cheap LED. If flowering types like tomato and pepper you would need full spectrum lights. You can transplant anything into the buckets or start from seed. Thanks for the questions. Hope tis helped.

If l use this outdoors can you have an over flow pipe to keep the water level at a certain height?
@completegrowing5427 3 ай бұрын
absolutely. Use gravel and a screen about 2" from the bottom of a few 1" holes. One on each side would wok best. Just one would still work if there are no downpours.

11:40 Hey you mention keeping algae down. Is the idea that you're putting the tubing down a few inches into the perlite, so that the top layer - exposed to light - stays dry? Algae grows so readily where I am it's insane
@completegrowing5427 3 ай бұрын
Yes, but it still stays moist, so the best way to combat the algae is H2O2. Light spray of diluted solution and also some in your nutient tank takes care of the problem. (also great for the plants) I will do a full video on that next week.

@completegrowing5427 4 ай бұрын
With 270-300 gph pumps, 14 is about max if you do the tubing as shown at the end of the video. Rather not do too many anyway because it it easier to keep the nutrients full and controlled. Also the electric usage of that size pump is very low. Thanks

Thanks RJ, because of you we did tomatoes and green peppers two years ago in your bucket system and was impressed. We use the mixture also on my wife’s flowers and bushes in and around the house. Just a few cups on them every other week and they grow and flower like crazy. They are in dirt but it works on them also. Getting back into the buckets again this year and can’t wait to get started again. I’ll be ordering from you soon. Kevin

You can use perlite, coco coir, clay pebbles, small gravel, mixtures. Just make sure it drains well, is free of disease, and check the PH. Watering times are more often with gravel and hydroton. Perlite is sterile and no PH problems, but most anything will work. Thanks

You can use gravel. You will need to water more often or even continually because the gravel does not hold much moisture. I have used gravel with great success. The net may not be needed if the gravel will not get into the tube. The net also keeps dirt, roots etc out of the tubes and water supply.
