Intelligent and informed questions!

[@ajablue651]

She is so awesome.

[@darrenguy4300]

what spacing are you using for the tomatoes

[@patrickfoster7970]

Are you still using 6" drain pipes? Do you have problems cleaning pipes and preparing for next crop? How fo you get the roots out after havesting? What variety are you growing and where do you get them (seeds)? Thanks n good video.

[@dutchmiller7778]

What is the variety you are using.

[@halfmoon26]

The lady comes from the 60s

[@13orrax]

this reeks of early the 90s. it took over a year for my team to prove this

[@KK-px4hh]

Which variety you guys are growing? What yield you are getting? I m going to start a hydroponic farm commercially, some guys are suggesting Geronimo and some are suggesting Bigbeef f1. And im still not sure which variety to grow. Can you plz help? Have you tried both? and what was the yield and taste? Thanks. Hope you will reply. P.S What yield should i get if i get 6-7 months picking season.

[@darrenguy4300]

[@futurenepaldevlopment2657]

Can we grow tomato's in aquaponics

[@tinman678]

I'll bet she knows how to grow some great cannabis too !!

[@robertbrown1016]

you said to run 10 minutes on and 5 minutes off is this for 24 hours

[@ahmedaoy]

good

[@OKGardeningClassics]

+Ibrahim Sameh Thanks for watching!

[@michaelajie1765]

I have spent months studying aquaponics and discovered an awesome resource at Keiths Ponics Site (check it out on google)

[@OKGardeningClassics]

Thanks for the information! Also be sure to check out our fact sheets on hydroponics at pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-6839/HLA-6442web.pdf . Again, thanks for watching!

lol, she runs a greenhouse but doesn't even know NFT really means Nutrient Film Technique ..she's obviously done her homework. I can't wait to get my hands on these tomatoes from this experienced hydroponic grower. Surely they'll not have pesticides or high levels of heavy metals, because she obviously knows the ins and outs of hydroponic growing techniques. ** sarcasm ends here**

[@jonslg240]

oh, I guess she did.. I'm wrong! STOP THE PRESSES!!

[@atomizer2665]

Its not NFT because you cant create a film of nutrient in a round pipe ;) It more like shallow water culture (SWC). !0 minutes on and 5 minutes off isnt worth doing.

[@2awesome292]

I hate taking those stupid stickers off my food... Why not put a UV light in the water tank to control some of the microbes

[@OKGardeningClassics]

+2Awesome Great idea! Thanks for passing along that tip!

[@2awesome292]

***** You blast them with UV in the reservoir, no roots there?

[@atomizer2665]

@@OKGardeningClassics The UV will have a detrimental effect on your chelate micronutrients.

Wth not as vigorous in dwc..... Well she doin it wrong then lol. Every side by side test vid proves that lol

[@lolbox360]

I thought plants need carbon dioxide not water

[@OKGardeningClassics]

+tom lamb They need both in order to thrive!

[@DavidEdwardBurry]

The plant takes oxygen from the water and puts it back out into the air then takes the carbon from the carbon dioxide then takes hydrogen and oxygen and make sugar throwing away the excess oxygen
