So much produce!!! You folks have really got a good handle on greenhouse hydroponics.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the video.

[@weeeeeeeee527]

You look amazing! And the green house is looking almost as beautiful as you!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thanks a ton! Your comment made my day!

[@mechanted757]

You are mighty cute. Please please tell us how you manage aphids they are driving me nuts in my hydroponic lettuce greenhouse. I’ve been using pyrethrum spray also lacewing and ladybug larvae but the aphids are relentless. I have window screen and when it’s hot or cold I Velcro on plastic. I have evap coolers. I’m spending way too much of my life washing them off before packaging to deliver.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Really my best way is insecticide soap but on lettuce its hard...

[@Icemanja2006]

You're doing great 😊. Thanks for the update on running a single nutes vine formula

[@HomegrownPassion]

I appreciate your support and encouragement!

[@JoeDavidson-gc7zo]

Thanks for your post on your KZbin channel. I got a hold of Crop King. I mention your name ( HOMEGROWN PASSION). There sending me a catalog. Thanks again. Have a Great weekend. Joe from SWMO

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thats great Joe! Keep me updated on what you're doing. Are you going to go to growers' school?

[@kennethjoseph7833]

The amount of work you do and tools you use to make this all happen is incredible. You should be proud of yourself

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thanks a ton! Your encouragement keeps me going!

[@JoeDavidson-gc7zo]

Just planning for next year.

[@HomegrownPassion]

That's a great mindset to have! Planning ahead is key to success.

[@345farm]

Wow…wonderful!

[@HomegrownPassion]

I really appreciate your positive feedback!

[@CockroachMunchingKrabbyPatty]

Great video! Will be watching carefully to see the progress of the produce as the season progresses! 2:42 9:35 11:05

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thanks. Sounds good!! Are the time stamps your favorite parts of the videos?

[@CockroachMunchingKrabbyPatty]

@@HomegrownPassion Indeed! I find that I come to your videos so often, it's helpful for me to remember the parts that I came for.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Hmmm ok. Not sure if those were the best parts but if you think so that’s all that counts.

[@CriticoolHit]

Talk more about your flowers. I want to do hydroponic flowers as a hobby for myself. I'd love to see how you grow them.

[@HomegrownPassion]

I appreciate your interest in hydroponic flowers! I'll definitely share more about my growing process in the upcoming videos.

[@billking5407]

thanks or the update

[@HomegrownPassion]

Appreciate you checking out the update!

[@dnawormcastings]

Great up date 🇳🇿❤️

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thank you for watching the update!

[@alantran6901]

It's not so much a recipe for food but beats are great in juice. Ones recipe I really like is beats, apple, carrot, small piece of ginger and a little bit of lemon.

[@HomegrownPassion]

That sounds like a delicious juice recipe! Thanks for sharing.

[@qmoonwalker3847]

Your crops are looking great!!!!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Aw, thanks! I've been working hard on them, so I'm glad you think they look great too!

[@jhh70]

Do you have a video on how you set up everything? thanks

[@HomegrownPassion]

Hey there! Yup, I've got a video showing you all the setup steps. Check it out on my channel when you get a chance.

Hello.After watching your movie I decided to build hydroponics system. How often do you water your cucumbers and how many plants you grow in one bucket ? Thank you for very interesting movie .

[@HomegrownPassion]

2 plants per bucket

[@ChrisR2517]

Hello Katy Green Fingers, A great update. What are your Bato Bucket spacing ? Where is Lovely Devon ?

[@Jackel1776]

I just discovered your channel and I really enjoy watching you guys. I love cucumbers and would like to know if you guys sell any of your seeds? I would like to grow some of those long cucumbers and those huge tomato’s. Thanks again! ❤

[@HomegrownPassion]

No sorry I don't sell seeds. Most of my seeds I purchase from Johnny Seeds.

[@desiredjidonou7357]

Great update! Can you provide the link of where you got the greenhouse stool you are using. Handy to have to seat on.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Yes, that works great. So, it's an automotive stool. It raises and lowers, and I think we bought it at Harbor Freight.

[@desiredjidonou7357]

@@HomegrownPassion Thank. What is the brand? There are quite a few at Harbor freight. I need couple of these for our small greenhouse. Thank!

[@loulauer5853]

Everything in the greenhouse and high tunnel looks amazing! The plastic technique you used for the long cukes - blown? - is interesting. Just like how you get them from the grocery store. It helps keep them fresh longer I imagine? I bought some Tyria seeds after one of your previous videos but they aren't quite cooperating with me for germination yet. Hopefully they will get their act together soon.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thanks! The English cucumbers have to be shrink wrapped because very thin and they lose moisture very fast if not sealed. I say blow the cucumbers because my grandson years ago watched me shrink wrap the cukes and said I was blowing them. So, the term just stuck. The seeds should germinate rather quick. Are you using Oasis or Rockwool, soil??

[@loulauer5853]

@@HomegrownPassion soil right now. My hydroponics system is down for maintenance (translation - I got busy outside and forgot) . Tried starting with my usual sure-fire seed starting mix with no luck. Just put some in actual dirt yesterday. I was suspicious of the seeds from the minute I got them. From an Amazon seller. Small plastic baggie inside plain white envelope. Only source I could find in smaller quantities.

[@sz2352]

Thank you for the strawberry bag update! Why do you think the bato buckets outperformed the bags for the strawberries? Do they have more media in them? What size diameter bags are you using?

[@HomegrownPassion]

Not sure why I'm planting more bags in the next couple of days and I am going to do some more research. I will keep you updated

[@jnm.624]

Farm Mrkt is @4-6pm Wednesdays on Main Street? Has it started already or what day will it begin?

[@HomegrownPassion]

Hi J. It starts Wednesday June 5.

[@kevonwadalley524]

Hey, what variety of sweet pepper do you grow? Thank you!

[@HomegrownPassion]

All my seeds were purchased from Johnny Seeds. The red is Sprinter, yellow is Brocanto and orange are Milena.

[@user-uw6lk7we8s]

Hi! Everything looks great! We have a 2100 sf hydroponic greenhouse and have a few questions. 1) Cukes - we grow the Johnnys Socrates cukes, and once they are harvested at the leaf, we cut the leaf until the plant reaches the roof and then we replave the plant. Do the english cukes you are growing keep producing new cukes? Which variety are they? 2) We have considered growing peppers in the GH. I was shocked.at the age of yours and how they are producing. What Johnnys variety are.they? 3) most importantly, i dont see any PM on your plants. How are you managing against that? Thank you!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thanks for watching! The cucumbers are Poniente, the peppers are milena (orange) sprinter (red) and brocanto (yellow) As for the PM, I am currently growing mostly Asian greens and they are resistant to PM. When I grow lettuce I do have problems in the summer with PM and use suffoil x to keep it away.

[@TheTravisarcher]

Do you still use ZeroTol to control Algae on your bato buckets, or have you found another product? And, can you put a link out to what iron you add to your hydroponic water?

[@HomegrownPassion]

Yes, I still use Zerotol I think it works great so I am sticking with it. The iron I use DTPA Iron Chelate 11%

[@revid64]

What medium do you use for your cucumber and peppers?

[@HomegrownPassion]

Course Perlite

[@ACCESSZERO1]

Does wrapping cucumbers in plastic help in anyway? like do they last longer? as they are air tight? 🤔

[@HomegrownPassion]

Yes so English Cucumbers are always sealed because they have very thin skin so shrink wrapping them helps them stay fresh for much longer.

[@kellyaddy7316]

Do you poke holes in the bottom of your red solo cups when you are starting your flowers? How moist do you keep the soil on those? I want to start all mine next year on my own and stop buying them at the big box stores.

[@HomegrownPassion]

yes I poke holes and I just try and keep the soil moist

[@kellyaddy7316]

@@HomegrownPassion Katy I do not want to bother you as I know you are so busy. I have to ask you a question though. How do I prevent transplant shock in plants. I fight this all the time. Thank you

[@kevintuckey4970]

What iron do you use in your Nutrient solution.

[@HomegrownPassion]

DTPA Iron Chelate 11% I did try a very cheap iron with less percentage, and you can see by the video it did not do well. 5 pounds of the 11% cost me around $75.00

[@DJKG1]

how much are your heating costs versus profits

[@DJKG1]

october through march

[@HomegrownPassion]

So we use Natural gas to heat the greenhouse My gas is very inexpensive because we have an oil and gas well on the property.
