Grow green onions in Aerogarden from seeds and cuttings | hydroponics | 4 in 1 experiment

[@suzannes5888]

There are easily 10 vegetablea that you can grow well, with just water in a jar, uaing cuttings. I grow green onions in a jar, as for me it's not worth using up so much of my AG space when the yield after using 6 pods is equal to a single bunch of green onions - that costs only $1.50 at the market. I would have loved to hear how you felt about the taste of the thicker green onions/scallions. I love all of your expirements - keep up the great work! We really appreciate it.

[@syd1982]

What are the 10 veggies ? Would love to know genuinely

[@goose7574]

WOW!!! The green onions from the cuttings are HUUUUUGE! Nice work!

[@pattyturski4315]

Green onions in AeroGarden using your technique worked wonders. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@pRoDiGy393]

I came to this video because my Thyme wasn't growing in my Aerogarden, so I was looking for an alternative. Coming away with such a good idea to grow my favorite garnish. Thanks!

[@cheryl9261]

I learn something useful every time I watch you. Thank you

[@StockingMyPantry]

Green onions, what a great idea! Thanks for showing the various ways you grew them. I might try in a cottage cheese or large yogurt container, so there would be more room for the roots, since those are deeper.

[@jrmint2]

VERY NICE experiment. Very creative approach. The scallions regrow so much better in the aero garden.

[@valkyira]

Thank you for this video! It was exactly what I was looking for

[@aviewer390]

Omg, LOVE the cream cheese onion grower! I’m going to try it!

[@justsayin3893]

Cream cheese container! Genius!

[@mrswzrd]

This is fascinating and something I've been wondering about because I eat a lot of green onions. Thanks for sharing!

[@justsayin3893]

Could you do a video on how to prune tomato and pepper plants in Aerogarden? If so, that would be great.

[@suzannekan]

I love this experiment... exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing.

[@dianamanwaring4794]

I've been thinking about growing green onions in my Aerogarden Tasty Sprout and will try the first method. Thank you!

[@zackblack4098]

This was incredible, thank you for everything you do! Im going to add some to my aerogarden!

Hey what do you do about fungus gnats coming in my aerogarden?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I have a few insect traps around my hydroponic systems, and they control most of them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHSxfXutidyfqJY

BEst wishes to your experimenting.

[@samljer]

3 cuttins in a recycled k-cup adding 1ml of premixed nutrient solution per day is what i do every few days i have onion. never had one flower on me though, i harvest too often. did it ruin the taste like lettuce would or nah? @6:00 that is genius though, i may start doin it that way!

[@olmecST]

Nice video very informative. Thank you.

[@kathiewoods8507]

Did you add any nutes to any of the green onion experiments (4) I believe in total or just water? If yes, process, please. Thanks for all your experiments!! They are WONDERFULLY HELPFUL.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I added nutrients in both Aerogardens growing with cuttings as well as from seeds. I haven't added nutrients in other 2 methods. Growing from cuttings work for 1-2 times. If we add nutrients, they will continue to grow longer.

[@phylliscraine]

Very ingenious! Thank you for such an informative video.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alexandrabavcevic9643]

Really informative. Based on this video, I will only use the cuttings as they look so much healthier and stronger than the others. I would like to grow green onions in three of my Pods and some other vegetables in the other six pods. What is compatible to grow with green onions? I only have one hydroponic system and that is an Aerogarden Bounty. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Lettuce and tomatoes are the only two, that I tested, go well with green onions. Please note that the root part of the onion gets slimy over the period. So, we need to change the water and wash the green onion roots periodically. It never hurt the plants but the water gets some hard smell that I don't like.

[@alexandrabavcevic9643]

@@aerogardenexperiments Good to know. Thank you so much for the additional information. If you hadn't mentioned that, I would probably have thought I was doing something wrong.😊

[@suzannes5888]

@@aerogardenexperiments Do you ever trim you AG plant roots? I see some people that do, as their school of thought is that the roots are over-growing, as they're "looking" for the traditional nutrients they get from the dirt. Thoughts?

[@02121978able]

Informative 🙏🙏👆

[@yvetteshang7071]

This is a great experiment and comparison! I am growing green onions in both hydroponic and traditional methods now from seeds. Great to learn all these tricks and results!

[@Dawnfinn03]

Great stuff !!! Thank you!

[@wheredidileavemycell]

Those are thick onions. I ordered 2 AG Bounty Basics...one for leafy greens and one for tomatoes...seeing how easy u grew yours, i may just get a shallow tote, a bubbler and a grow light and diy a dedicated grow box for them

[@syd1982]

So helpful !!

[@divid3dbyZero]

I know nothing about planting/growing. All my green onion cuttings died about 3 weeks after I put them in my aerogarden. Guessing it's because I just plopped them in the plant holders and they 'drowned'? Just got some seeds yesterday to try out. I'll have to buy a bundle of green onions sometime and try supporting them like you did with foil.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

yeah, drowning could be the issue. We also need to change the water frequently with green onions.

[@Francois_Dupont]

this is amazing. i think it is better to put nutrition in the water because the plant cannot grow so much if there is no food for the plant to grow.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

💯

[@garrycarter8485]

HI. DID YOU ADD PLANT FOOD TO THE WATER FOR THE CUTTINGS. PLEASE LET ME HEAR FROM YOU

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yes, I added Aerogarden nutrients into the water to the bowl with cuttings same as for any other Aerogarden.

[@garrycarter8485]

@@aerogardenexperiments THANK YOU. I AM GOING TO TRY THIS IN THE AEROGARDEN. ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO

[@FoigTCG]

Love the video! Do you think it would be viable to grow the green onion clipping pods in the same Aerogarden with my other pods (tomatoes, peppers, etc)? I read in the comments below that the water needs to be changed often and i'm not sure if I can do that while growing other pods

[@aerogardenexperiments]

No, green onions leaves some slimy residue in the water. If we don't clean it up, it leaves bad smell. So, I prefer not to mix it with other plants.

[@villanuevaruth21]

Hello there, I am just wondering sir, what is the ph of the onions for starting and also the ppm, thank you and God bless

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Hi, I haven't tested it myself but I gathered that the pH is 6.0-6.7 and ppm is 980-1260 for Onions and the same works for green onions as well.

[@villanuevaruth21]

@@aerogardenexperiments Thank you sir for that reply, I have germinate 4 kinds of onions, will try to do hydroponic and soil also, hoping that it will be like yours in the right lights, and the ppm and ph, thanks, God bless.

[@danieldc4175]

Do they grow faster from soil? How often do you have to refill the water in the aerogarden? Does the aerogarden take care of the ph level?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

yeah, they definitely have grown faster than soil. Aerogarden nutrients come with pH buffer but gets imbalanced after a while. That's why Aerogarden recommends changing water every 30 days. I don't change every 30 days but I change water every 60 days. It is working fine so far.

[@villanuevaruth21]

Hello there, just wondering what is the pH and ppm of the nutrient? thank you

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Sorry, I never tested the pH since I used Aerogarden nutrients which already has the pH buffer.

[@golfshoe9321]

What is the EC and pH used in your aeroponic container? Nice large onions.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Sorry, I haven't measured the EC or pH.

[@Alex-rb5fs]

How is the smell?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Pretty good, same as the ones grown in soil. Definitely much better than store bought green onions.

[@AaronKreider]

Add nutrients to the water and your non-Aerogarden grow will be almost as good as the Aerogarden.

[@gailkarlovsky8023]

So the green onions from cuttings in the aerogarden had the plant food added but the cuttings in the jar and the cream cheese container did not? Wonder how much the nutrition was responsible for the superior growth in the aerogarden versus the other two cutting methods. Did you try outside the aerogarden with nutrients?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

It is the combination of AG lights and the AG nutrients produced solid green onions. I tried growing the cuttings outside the AG and feeding AG nutrients but I didn't get the same results.

[@thequantaleaper]

Why do they grow like that from cuttings? Not like they look at the store. And how about flavor?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Both growth and flavor is much better compare to store bought.

[@clivianiakleinhans5337]

So no soil needed?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

That's right. We can manage without soil.

[@ThaOriginalGangsta77]

No bruh it’s hydro

[@gr8bkset-524]

The water getting slimy is a concern, especially with just plain water. Is this happening in the aerogarden also? I would not waste space in an aerogarden growing Onions. Instead, I would grow cuttings in opaque containers with holes cut out for netpods (Kratky method). Also, I'd use fertilizer in the water and leave an air gap for the roots.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

yeah, I see slimy in Aerogarden as well. It didn't create any issues though. I am with you that it's waste of resources dedicating an Aerogarden for Green Onions. They grow pretty easy in any container.

[@onlyway8176]

I have grown my green onions hydroponic NFT, is it okay when it rains? I just transfer then a day, rains.

[@stalin200000]

what if "not in plain water" ?

[@msjoy2005]

I regrow green onions from cuttings every winter

[@villanuevaruth21]

green onions grow even in the water from cutting, but not like yours very big

[@aerogardenexperiments]

yeah, if we just place the cuttings in plain water, the green onions use the energy from the bulb. There isn't a lot of energy inthe bulb for long run. That's why they don't grow as string as they grew in Aerogarden with lights and nutrition.

[@villanuevaruth21]

@@aerogardenexperiments Thanks a lot, I think you were right, its slow down the energy, when we did it at my work, it was past the first week, then its slowing after weeks.

[@bikinggal1]

green onions are not expensive to buy, Sort of a waste in the Aerogarden in my opinion
