@@juliuspark8924 I don't think mine shows any sort of reminder. As for frequency. You should calibrate monthly at the most. I DO NOT do this 😅 I'll be straight up honest. I try to remember to calibrate mine but I forget a lot and the process is tedious. I will check my readings with my liquid kit. If they don't match up I calibrate. For hydroponics, an error of 0.5 is acceptable for a regular person doing this as a hobby.

Beautiful harvest! your rise garden corner is gorgeous! I bought my rise garden after watching your videos and I prefer it over aerogarden systems. rise, in smaller space you can grow way more plants and it look beautiful. I had trouble using the powder rise garden nutrients tons of sediments! probably user error. I switched to the General Hydroponic trio bottles and I think they are working? it is too early to tell. I am growing Kandil pepper, it is a type of pepper that looks like green bell peppers but way smaller, and I had tons of fruits in the plant but they stop growing in size, listening to you talking about plucking extra flowers and fruits to let the plant concentrate on growing a certain number of fruits sounds like I can apply that to my peppers. Always enjoy your videos and give Sylvie a big snuggle 🥰

@@Shaimaa-ArtStudio thank you so much!! This is so nice 😊 I definitely like the look of the system for sure! Ya I was struggling with those bottles, mostly because some days I just don't have the time/energy. GH dry isn't bad for sedimentation but it's definitely worse than the liquid. I want to see if the filter socks help. As for the pepper, I'll look into it. Few reasons the fruit might be stunted is no Cal/Mag or a low P/K. I sometimes have my jalapeno blossoms fall off and I notice it when my EC is bit low (peppers are very hungry feeders) or if I haven't put Cal/Mag in in a while. Keep me updated! 😊

Excellent video and thanks for posting. I too have two full three tier Rise Gardens, two countertop Rise Gardens, and one no-name brand with a trellis for growing vine plants. In addition to what you expertly spell out, I have picked up a few tricks along the way. 1. The amount of pH adjustment solution needed to add will change based on the total volume of water in your system. 2. The fuller the system, the more stable it is. Adjustments are needed less frequently. 3. Sprouts have less of an impact then full grown plants. Larger, full-grown plants will consume more nutrients, which directly impacts the PPM and pH. So depending on the mix of plant sizes, you may need to make more adjustments. 4 I get much higher yields when I keep the pH closer to the plant needs. So I keep like plants together. I have one system at pH 5.7, three systems at pH 6.0, and one system at pH 6.4. All plants grow super fast and produce high yields. 5. Spread out your sprouts. Don't sprout too many plants at the same time. This way you can maintain a continuous harvest. 6. have fun with it. Its actually super easy.

For EC? Like to check the level of nutrients? I use a HANNA. I got it from Rise during their dry nutrient trial.

@@marilynearl6887 oh sorry I should have clarified. They sent it to me. It wasn't something they sell. I tried to find the same brand online but I can't. Most EC meters will work though. If I find it I'll definitely share the link!

I tried to grow Napoli tomatoes which I'm not sure are the same as the little Napoli hybrid you mentioned. But, I think I got bad seeds (or at least not the seeds advertised) because the plants were huge and the fruit looked like cherry tomatoes. Really sad and annoying but I can't wait to see how some of yours do. I"m always on the look out for small varieties with full sized fruit. And I know you said you were not a fan of the heartbreaker but they sound like they might be a perfect salsa tomato with their meaty texture which is what I am looking for so I might have to give those a try.

Oh interesting. Ya I'll be trying that one but right now I'm working on the Sarandipity. The dora is just like that, most like a paste tomato than a juicy/watery tomato. It comes in red and orange. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a meaty cherry tomato :)

Try the Dwarf tomatoes from TomatoFest. I'm growing the Firebird Sweeet. The plant is about 2 feet tall and starting to flower. The leaves get a bit big but I just trim them.

Thank you! Looks like that tomato is indeterminate. Did you grow it it's entire life cycle and it only got to 2 feet? I'll definitely check out the website too. I have a list of about 6 varieties I'm planning to try. I talk about them in my next video.
