How to Grow Cucumbers Hydroponics From Seed At Home.

[@ToomieC]

This 11 min video showed me everything my bf and I have done wrong the last 2 months with our hydroponic cucumbers. And not a word was spoken. Outstanding video thank you for making this!

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

you're welcome.

[@michaelmasztal7871]

Good video. I use a similar DWC setu-up, but with only one plant. The Picolino is a vining cucumber plant with all female flowers. I hand pollenate with an electric toothbrush. the fruit are a uniform, thin0skinn, 6" long, 1" thick. I typically get 30-50 cukes off one plant- really. Gotta keep an eye on the pH and PPM with R/O water and nute (Masterbend combo) changes every 2 weeks.

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

thanks for sharing your experience here .. good 👍

[@erikakasinnes]

Nice growth! At what point did you change from normal water to hydroponics solution during first stage?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there! Before I transferred the seedlings to Hydroponics , I started giving solutions EC 0.5 Ms/cm. When you see the first true leaves .

[@mdellawandlife8037]

Thanks to your very informative tutorial...How many ml of nutrient solution per liter did you use?

Welcome

[@DalePeyton]

I would like to know what kind of cucumber did you use. I just found your channel and I love it. You have a Blessed Day

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there! This Japanese cucumber . Thnx

[@saiaman01]

Dis you use some nutrients in first step? Mine still not as big after 1 month :( Lack of sun or too cold ?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

i give hydroponic fertilizer, if not enough sun or cold cucumbers won't grow healthy .

[@kaverireddy266]

so i can grow them in large paint buckets?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

yes can

[@BiscuitsWithButter]

I go to our local grocery store & they give me their icing buckets when they’re done with them. I clean them out thoroughly and then use them in my indoor garden. Free buckets and they’re usually 2-5 gal each. I personally wouldn’t reuse a used paint bucket, you never know what chemicals could be left behind in there. At least the icing buckets are known to be food safe

[@elderizm]

Awesome setup. Did you add anything else in water? Some people use a and b solution.

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there ! Yes I added the Hydroponic fertilizer .

[@808flyer8]

Great video - thanks for sharing. Have you tried growing cucumbers with your top drip bucket recirculating method? Your tomato plants look amazing with that method. I would be interested to find out if that would work for cucumbers. Also, where do you purchase your buckets with lids for cups? Mahalo and Aloha.

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

I purchased them from china , Alibaba website.. yes can grow cucumbers.

[@kewkew2]

Hello, when you say change the water do you mean dump out the entire contents, or just add more nutrients to the existing water?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

better change the entire content.

[@arokkiaprathap]

Do we use plain water at seedling stage before transferring to Hydroponic?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

you can start to fertilize before transferring the seedlings, when you see the true leaves appear.

[@megalul6376]

Nice Video, thanks. One questions, what do you need the air pump for? Why the bubbles?

[@megalul6376]

Just watched a video that explained it to me. Turns out that aeroation is much better than Kratky. :D

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there . Thanks Plants need oxygen, if we do not provide oxygen, the roots will rot.

[@megalul6376]

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB thank you 👌

[@Emeraldwitch30]

@@megalul6376 well I use both. Its just with kratky, if you over fill it drowns the air roots. And I have done that before.🤦‍♀️ But I didn't notice a huge difference between the kratky and deep water culture with the bubbler. Both plants did well. But my cucumbers lasted all summer in the kratkys out in the greenhouse but I have no electric out there (hubs is going to run underground cable this summer for me) I also grew in the ground. But the cucumbers in hydroponics out preformed them. Like 75% better with hydroponics. I will not plant them in the ground again.

[@CBRadi0_89]

@@Emeraldwitch30 drill some holes into the side of your bucket or container at the fill line so it's impossible to overfill

Thank you so much! Can I grow 2 cucumbers plants and 2 lettuce plants in the same box?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Oh right I didnt think about that, thank you! do you think cucumbers would like being in the NFT system? or should I stick with the box and only grow the leafy ones in the NFT?

Hi there! You're welcome , cucumber likes warm , and do well in hot , if your place too hot you can cover the box and protect it from hot sun..

[@nortonnorth1371]

I'm wondering if the aerator is necessary: Since the roots aren't completely submerged in water, they should get oxygen from the air. Or is the aerator simply to circulate the nutrient (in which case, it can just be a water pump)?

[@freddysart4005]

No its not.

[@ansvel]

Why do you need the pump? How often do you add extra fertilizer to the water? Thanks.

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

Hi there! We need a pump to provide oxygen, plants need oxygen to grow When you see water less add water + fertilizer I haven't added fertilizer only always mix with water and level the ppm .

How much KGs cucumber you have harvested from 1 plant totally

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

I harvested different timing , I think 3 kgs from one plants.

@@DIYGARDENWITHBB atleast 7kg need to be harvested,, use less potassium and Phosphate in early stage,, nitrogen should be increased so that plant grow faster, later in flowering time decrease nitrogen, increase potassium and phosphate

Hello. Im very new to hydroponics. I have a 12 pod Idoo system. I successfully grew some lettuce. I planted broccoli, but it grew too tall for my system, as it grew beyond the lights (which were raised to its max 11"). Is there a way to grow broccoli in such a system with the lights at a max of 11"? Also, I wanted to grow cucumbers, but based on your video, it seems like the cucumbers would need as much space as the broccoli. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have question regarding the concentration of the nutrient of the cucumbers. Do we need to always monitoring the concentration of the nutrient? and usually how frequently does we need to adding some amount of nutrient again?

[@DIYGARDENWITHBB]

yes you need to check at least once a week your EC Lev especially when the plants fruiting , normally the EC won't drop the plants consume the water ..so you need to add the water+ nutrition , I have added 3 to 4 times.
