I don't usually trim the roots unless they're blocking the flow of water or if there are too many roots and it's pushing the tray lid out of place (in that second case it's just so it looks nicer). When I remove the plant from the garden I lift up the tray and rip/cut the roots off and then pull the net cup out of the tray once the roots are off.

I have successfully harvested seeds from other plants and regrown them but not these peppers specifically. The ones I'm growing are not from Rise and I still have more in the package so haven't needed to collect my own yet (but I will when I run out!). You can save any pepper seeds from a ripe pepper, dry them, and regrow a new plant as long as your plant is not a hybrid variety. It looks like if you're in the US then you can order Koppert products through this store www.koppertus.com/retail-shop I'm in Canada and they have a separate Canadian store retail.koppert.ca/collections/shop

I have both. Go with Rise Garden, it will provide you with way more value for your money. Everything about Rise is better quality. I have posted a very lengthy trust pilot review on Rise Garden where I compare it to Gardyn and if you go there you will be able to read in detail why I prefer Rise over Gardyn.

I'm very glad the video was helpful!

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate hearing that it was helpful!

I found that all plants were able to grow reasonably well however I did purchase a second garden because I loved the first one and wanted to grow even more. Now that I have 2 gardens my plants are separated into fruiting and non-fruiting plants to be able to provide different nutrients to each as you described. I suppose it depends on how much you want to grow. In my greens garden I have 2 full levels dedicated to a lettuce rotation so that I can have a continuous supply (and that's just for 2 people). I posted a video tour of my garden (Sept 2024) today that you might be interested in.

@@TheBestGroceries thank you!

I'm sure the plants love that!

@@TheBestGroceries It's way overkill, but fun 😄

Thanks for your feedback. I noticed how my outdoor cucumbers used a full 4 foot trellis and wanted to provide the same opportunity for my indoor cucs.

Genius!

I considered all sorts of ways to attach the trellis, there are many options that would work. In the end I chose the hooks because I already had them.

I have not tried any other system however I absolutely LOVE this one... so much that I got a second one after seeing how well the first one worked.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You're welcome!

Thank you. I appreciate hearing this! I will be making a follow up on this soon.

Thanks for your kind words. I've never tried a Gardyn but I love my RISE Gardens and would highly recommend them!

@@TheBestGroceries i have since purchased a Rise Garden and a Rise Roma. Incredible systems and I like them a lot more than Gardyn!

@@adgdashaef I'm so glad to hear that you like it! It's good to know how it compares to other systems.

If you search KZbin for @thebestgroceries it will come up. Also, if you subscribe to the channel then you'll have it listed on your "subscriptions" list in KZbin.

Hi Claudia, I'm now 16 days into the experiment and I can say that it appears to be working! I bought a cheap aquarium chiller from Wal-Mart. It's doesn't have a high enough capacity to keep the temperature at the level I set (it still creeps up during the day) but it's keeping it lower than previous. I'll share the details and pros and cons of it in my follow up video in another 2-3 weeks.

@@TheBestGroceries Thank you for the update! I think I'll get the Ice Probe chiller as I need my room temperature fairly high and it drives the garden temperature up from the ambient air temperature too much. My garden is struggling with wilting, yellowing, curling, and brown edges..and leaves twisting. It seems to do well for the first two week after cleaning. I have some solids in the water too. Some roots are white and some are cream. Anxiously awaiting your report!

I actually ended up buying a 42 gallon chiller. It is working well!

Hi Shanna. I would like to get some 3D net cup covers. Would you be willing to print me some or tell me where I can buy some or how to get the instructions for printing them? My grandson has a 3D printer. I bought some off of Etsy, but they weren't small enough to fit in the nurseries and now they don't sell them anymore. Also what type of nozzle to use for food grade. TIA

Here is a link to the 3D print model for the net cup covers. The link is for the original design and there are also 2 other versions that I made that you can see under the remixes tab. www.printables.com/model/354671-rise-garden-net-cup-lid I printed these using food grade PETG that I purchased on Amazon. Food Grade PETD Filament for 2D Printing (USA) - www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBBGNDCY/ref=twister_B0D2KYDBJN?_encoding=UTF8&th=1Food Grade PETD Filament for 2D Printing (Canada) - www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0BBBH7R82/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I don't remember the print nozzle size but it was the original one that came with the printer, nothing special.

Assembly instructions come with the garden. There is a "Rise" app that tracks all your plants and gives instructions on tasks you need to do and how to do them (such as thinning, pruning, and adding nutrients).

Some are ordered from Rise and I use empty pods with seeds from elsewhere for others.

Thanks so much for your feedback. You have a great week as well!

Thanks @Randyb4ut!
