Hydroponic Rosemary - Is it possible?

[@Scare_D_Cat]

Rosemary is such a tough one. I tried this several times hydroponically as well and I got the same results as you. I now have a huge oversized bush indoors but it’s in soil. Love this Chanel! I can’t wait for your next video. You’re so knowledgeable. Thanks!!

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Thanks 🙀🙀🙀!!

Try putting a Air pumping so it can breathe

[@megalepivolos]

i live in mediteranean exactly and i put my rosemary in the soil and it became like a tree bush,excellent video especialy where you use peroxide to wash the roots,stgay stron and bring more

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Thanks for sharing, V! Sounds successful - I will give soil a try!

[@MattGarver]

I like growing herbs in hydroponics. For years I was told herbs need dry soil with a little rain intermittently over a season. However, I found that basil, mint, dill, chives, and more like hydroponics. Rosemary has a woody stem and reminds me of a pine tree branch. Maybe a system like a Dutch bucket with 1x per day flooding would work better. You have me curious.

[@tarenleighton9392]

I grew rosemary in an areogarden system which have aeration so adding air stones might help

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Thanks for sharing that! I was curious how they would do in an aerated environment

[@chitharanjansarvesan5714]

What timing did you use for water flow?! As in, was it 15 mins on, 15 mins off or 15 mins on, 30 mins off etc.,

[@Kati_k_kuriosz]

I agree with many about soil. Your hydroponics is good for getting a root system started but then you should transfer to its favorite soil in or out of a pot. Mine is in a pot my friends is in the ground. We live in Fl.

I want the pumpkin attempt #3 I love to hard challenges and I’d love to see you try to grow melons and other stuff.

Hello. Thank you for your short, concise and useful videos that you post for us. They say that the plants that grow in the mountains have better medicinal properties, why don't they have excellent ingredients that can't be given to them with fertilizers and...? I want to use mountain soil for marijuana flowers. 50% of mountain soil and pebbles, in your opinion, if I make the soil free of insects and then use it, and use 50% with the soil of apartment flowers and in this soil from the beginning What changes will be made in marijuana, what will happen if we plant it from the beginning? And what excellent and mineral substances the mountain soil has in it. Can you answer me here? Thank you

[@TeChNoYmE]

It would be interesting to check if an aquarium aerator would help keep in check the anaerobic growth??? 😮 But then almost empty reservoir would have served the same purpose...

[@paradisejannah786]

Tq jimmy for your effort. it save lots of our time n effort too. Appreciate it so much coz I was thinking on going with this method for my rosemary

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Soil should be better

[@stuff3219]

Haven't tried Rosemary in kratky, but can definitely say that thyme and oregano did *far* better when growing from seed rather than clippings.

[@user-px2sn8pr5t]

rosemary does not love water. I have done it in a hybrid system though I am impressed you got it to root. I think it would have to be hybrid dwc or maybe Dutch bucket. If you do succeed I can post it on some groups that would be interested.

[@Kratkymethod]

Got one I’m about to put into a Kratky bucket I’ll be starting videos this week

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Best of luck!!

[@TheLaurentPetit]

Hi folks, I was wondering whether a drip system with long pause periods might help?

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Could be worth a try!

[@youtubetruthlife4750]

@@JimmyBHarvests Maybe use a Botanium. It flush only every 3 hours, and the balls soak the water.

[@ShamiAmourae]

I had a bad experience growing rosemary in hydroponics too. It's a plant that should be soil only sadly.

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@chitharanjansarvesan5714]

Any update on this...?! Did you try doing it again with aeration?!

[@youtubetruthlife4750]

The key to make rosemary thrive in kratky is to understand the air roots humidity gas exchange. Most doing kratky are just praying for it to work, while most plants are very forgiving, some requires knowledge. Ive grown a big rosemary tree in kratky for a year now, its all about understanding the roots.

[@mejsnarp]

Would be nice to elaborate on "it's all about understanding the roots". What do you do differently, what is it we don't understand. Would be great if you could share the knowledge.

[@GarGlingT]

@@mejsnarpI think he said about aeration on root, rosemary love dry or good aeration.

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Thanks for sharing! Please share your secrets or better yet a video with your plant. It would help us all.

​@@JimmyBHarvestsmaybe half roots submerge, the other half wasnt so it can have oxygen

I liked your white plastic bottles. What are they called? Could you please share its link? I couldn't find similar looking anywhere on ebay.

[@JimmyBHarvests]

These are glass tomato sauce bottles that i spray painted the outside of. Glass > plastic

[@michaelsabados3829]

Rosemary is almost like a cacti plant, it likes those dry climates - like in California.

[@di_nwflgulf3547]

Tried to grow in my Aerogarden Tower Garden...it does not.. .I'm nwfl gulf...the soil growth is key. So it's in elevated raised bed 💁‍♀️

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Elevated raised bed- great idea!! 🙏

[@user-bu9fw2fs9f]

Also I see you sometimes use rubber foam in the net cups and sometimes clay. Do they both work?

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Both work great, no tradeoff

[@user-bu9fw2fs9f]

Great videos thank you! What are those jars called that you have? Is it better to have black jars when you live in a colder country to preserve heat? How large should the jar be if I wanna grow peppers and bushy tomatoes?

[@JimmyBHarvests]

The jars are from tomato sauce and i painted them. Black is better to prevent algae. For peppers/tomato i would start them in jars but eventually move them into 5 gallon buckets. 🪣 you can get food safe buckets at Home Depot

[@GodsChild145]

I have some growing outside in soil in a pot and it’s lasted me all summer long in Florida. Would be interested in seeing if Dutch buckets would work better for it?

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Love it. Soil seems to be 🔑

[@elainewhite3059]

It looks as if the results were very good the first 3 months so why not just harvest and dry after that point? You could probably take more cuttings from it first and restart a whole new hydroponic cycle again and have an easy to maintain supply of Rosemary. I have those blazing hot, dry summers it loves and my Rosemary doesn't bat an eye to the heat. So if you want to grow in soil I would suggest not watering any more often than once every 2 weeks.

[@JimmyBHarvests]

I think you're right! I wonder how long that cycle could last..? Looking forward to trying in soil next- thanks for the tip!

[@Vegan123]

May I suggest you cut the stems at an angle to maximize the root growing areas

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Ive found that performs worse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZrZgYyuir1qg6M

Hey can you do another cannabis grow but soil vs dwc either way the living soil is amazing way to grow fabric pots 5gal etc fruits an vegetables for foods that feed the cannabis an the soil microbiology look into knf farming an rice water an whole milk to make latic bacilous

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Great ideas, Alec! 🙏🙏

[@itatae10]

Do it again but with air stones are an aeration system.

[@AuditorsUnited]

other people suggest not filling the jar ...claiming it is not good for them only fill enough to cover the very bottom

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Yeah that still seemed to be too much for these rosemary

[@nlegacysolo]

One thing that might also have been the problem (since it started out doing well) is that rosemary doesn’t need nutrients. Too many will infact kill it. If you give it nutrients, it should be very low.

[@JimmyBHarvests]

interesting thanks for sharing!

[@jcc18345]

Initial rooting used pure water only?

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Only tap water. Distilled (pure) would work even better.

[@JohnPong-ly2zg]

Instead of hydrophonics try fog phonics with a timed switch set at low. same thing but uses fog instead

[@superkillr]

I was hoping someone had the answer in the comments.. nothing!!! I thought any of these herbs would love hydroponics. I'm blown away that it just doesn't like it.

[@JimmyBHarvests]

Agreed! Looking forward to a soil attempt this season

[@tiara-gr9he]

try adding a gold fish

[@DEJAVU007]

If you respond to this this can change your life I was into hydroponics in 2007 and when I got the bubbly film on top or plants was not doing that well guess what think about it your water is not flowing your water is not moving is like a pond when the green algae bubbly stuff comes up what does that mean and it botany that means there is a lack of oxygen in the water how do you get more oxygen in the water brother I'm going to tell you this secret go get you two or three fish tank bubblers and you plug those bubblers into the wall grab the tube put it into the bucket and let it bubble the water and watch your plants explode because what you need is oxygenated water just like fish really can't live in water that doesn't move stagnant water so therefore plants you might get some to bloom but if you use a fish tank bubbler at your local Petco you will be truly amazed this is the method of Yoda please let me know if you seen this because this could save all of your grows even those little plants in the jars you put a fish tank bubbler into the jar that you have there now and those plants could have lived because I've done it just make sure when you get the bubblers the tube that goes into the plant goes all the way to the bottom of the tank get a small ocean rock or pebble to hold down bubbler or alien tape it to the bottom this means if the roots are like your past Mary Jane plants The Roots will want to grow towards the main source of the oxygen the circle part of the bucket you can even do this method with soil-based plants I did this in the sixth grade run a tube at the bottom of all of your knitted baskets or buckets if they are in soil air flows through bottom of root system plants want to grow towards the oxygen I've had multiple plans that are soil based plugged into fish tank bubblers and they literally explode PS fishing bubbler allows water to never become stagnant or fill me at the top of the water because the bubbles allow the water to flow that's what your plants need make a video doing it grow you some plants some Mary Jane and you will never have another problem again every Grove shall be successful because your problem is stagnant water flow your water is not moving put a fish tank bubbler in there get that water to move around and make sure it's at the bottom of the bucket

Definitely a lot of merit to aeration. Works like a charm! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
