OMG💕 I love this idea I am definitely going to keep ALL of your videos saved.👍🏼👍🏼 I noticed that your plans were growing by windows ... What if you don't have a place with extra Windows what do you recommend??

[@leadfarmer73]

Lights

[@WeAreNaturalJewelz]

I purchased a hydroponics machine with the lights on it. It’s really awesome so far and it came with 4 removable trays for placing plants under the light if I didn’t want to use the water trays….but it didn’t come with a water pump to keep the water flowing. My other one has one…Will my seeds and plants still grow healthy without the water moving in each tray??

[@leadfarmer73]

I have no idea. I’ve never owned that setup. You may want to check out the manual for your setup

[@mariotucker2407]

Great Idea, where did you get the totes that you used?

[@imgrowing5500]

So i got the 3 inch hole cutter and the 4 inch hydro cups and cups didnt fit the hole. Your cups are a little smaller than mine so I am guessing instead of looking for a 4 inch hole cutter i should have got 3 inch cups. Maybe if these that I got going start growing then maybe ill get more. Thanks for all the info. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while and wasnt sure how.

[@deetor5551]

If you put fish in a glass hydroponic fish tank then put the holes, cups, oxygen tubing and greens, the fish will feed the roots in its own eco system.

[@leadfarmer73]

That sounds great 👍🏽 have you done that?

[@deetor5551]

@@leadfarmer73 here in Florida at Epcot in Disney they have a large hydroponic area that you actually sit in a river ride to view it, its gorgeous they have an eco system set up and the roots grow long into the fish tank and the fish breath under the water giving the roots oxygen as well I bet you can find a link to the Epcot ride here on youtube

I'm glad that you caught on growing food in the house cuz, we were up under quarantine..I remember asking you about food growing in the house when you was out in your garden.. you was very dismissive of my question when I asked you how did you feel about that. And what do you know you doing a whole segment about growing food in the house out of vegan box cuz that's what I asked you how did you feel about the vegan box.. so I guess it was a great idea and a great question but you just ain't never answer I guess you took the idea for yourself.

🙏

[@txLALA]

Now these are the kind of step-by-step instructions I need! 😂 However, still have a few questions: What is the diameter on the hole saw? Does the air stone eliminate the need to change out the water? What were those pebbles in the cups in the 5-gallon bucket? I definitely want to try hydroponics but don't want to have to worry about changing the water because I've already injured myself multiple times this summer messing around with gardening stuff. I don't think they'll fit on the shelves I have for my indoor garden, but I will figure out how to add at least one of these, even if I have to use smaller containers. I also have to use growlights since I only have one area with direct sunlight, and that's only 4-5 hours, and I already have herbs and houseplants there.

You can start them in soil them pull them out rinse with water till the dirt is off then put in the hydroponics

With Gods grace helping me 1st. However, when I was a little girl my uncle got me involved with planting in his garden, he told me I had a green 👍 thumb. The longest living plant (3 years) I have started regrowing is my aloe Vera plant it's getting to be very big as it was very tiny when my brother gifted it to me it. My step dad and I grew some tomatoes last 2 years and they were big and juicy, they looked very healthy, and tasted amazing as well. Then I planted a beautiful garden, but my landlord sold the house during the pan- Dem-ic and we lived there for over the past 5 years. So we lost all our plants😢we had lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, parsley, potatoes, turnips, radishes, spinach, and onions. Sadly the new owners ripped it all out and placed a pool there. The only thing they kept was the tomatoes and the rose bushes we planted in the front. It's frustrating when others don't see wealth like you do. I put lots of love and time, and resources as well as money into all of them plants and now I'm starting all over. I see how much you love your family and how much you love + enjoy your channel by helping others do gardening and other things Your very knowledgeable as well articulate in the way you speak to your audience based upon gardening tips/tricks/ knowledge/ advice.
