Hydroponics Indoor Grow Room: 10 Daily Tasks

Step into your grow room. Now what? These are the ten things I look out for every day when I visit my hydroponics indoor garden.

[@JebGardener]

NUMBER 11 --- Admire the plants! I know you inspect them for problems. But you have to just be amazed at their awesomeness a little too!

[@Just4Growers]

+Jeb Gardener yeeeees Jeb! You're so right!

[@jmannUSMC]

Never knew I could stare at a plant so long before I started growing last year. First time I ever experienced complete mindfulness

[@krischristopher6570]

I like the super fast talking Everest the best! You're like the hydroponic micromachine man. Thanks Everest the only way to stay disciplined is to go back to basics on a regular basis.

[@Just4Growers]

Thanks amigo-plenty more "back to basics" videos to come. Building a foundation here for the next gen. :) PEACE and happy growing, Everest.

[@sumacmt]

Thanks, you just convinced me not to fool with hydroponics.

[@MsMilkytheclown1]

You have the Best language skills I've ever heard. Kudos!

[@Just4Growers]

MsMilkytheclown1 Why thank you MsMilky!

[@stokbrkr]

Everest Fernandez/. I was thinking the same as Msmilky. It would be nice to be in a conversation with you outside of KZbin. Do you speak as fast? I really enjoy your works, thank you.

[@Just4Growers]

You're welcome SC. I have this idea of one day doing a tour of the US-just me, my backpack, and my PAR meter. Heheh. But would anybody really let me stay on their couch??? Lol.

[@more2knowgrow472]

an OG like you, is always welcome. You kill it man.

[@Just4Growers]

Thanks amigo.

[@aprilhiiiyah]

Soooo.... much good information in one place. Thank you! New to hydroponics and that literally answered like 47 of my questions. Well done sir!

[@Just4Growers]

I get out of bed in the morning because of feedback like this! Thank you.

[@Xaminn]

Love these videos. You go over so many topics so quickly yet you still effectively get the point across. Keep up the great work Everest! Until the next video!

[@Just4Growers]

+Gt Cline Thanks amigo. Got some good stuff in the pipeline!

[@mushroomthump]

Another great one Everest! Yes yes yes to weekly/monthly/quarterly schedule vids!!!!

[@Just4Growers]

+Andrae Aldrete OK, thanks Andrae.

[@Xelbiuj]

> $15k hardware . . > Only grows basil, peppers, other legal stuff.

[@Just4Growers]

+Xelbiuj That sounds almost meme-worthy.

[@lrrrruleroftheplanetomicro6881]

@@Just4Growers Sill you can't explain what you need 50 kilos of fresh basil for. Maybe something way more sinister is lurking here.

[@RyanSeeBoB]

when we gonna see the weed plants lol, i learn so much from this guy

[@indyhidden]

The speed of your talking gave me whiplash, lol. Great video.

[@Cannanadian]

Thank you for helping so many people grow cannabis! We love our Everest just as much as we love our "Heavy feeding annuals".

[@Just4Growers]

Cannanadian Jay Wow, thanks Jay - what a wonderfully progressive country you live in!

[@jasegtree4553]

Wow man..... 'what do you buy the kid who has everything" is my first thought 😯. I'm so jealous of your set up i wanna cry😆😂 Thankyou for the video though ✌️👍😁

[@mikesatomic-skier7161]

oh everest!!! i like your videos so much, pure simple and very creative funny and knowledgeable u rock thanks for the information cheers and stay frosty

[@Just4Growers]

Thanks amigo! I sure have fun making them-which comes through a little I think. :)

[@christophergoodwin6846]

Just really wanted to say thank you for all of your helpful and clear information. The video you posted on VPD a couple weeks ago helped me tremendously. My plants thank you as well haha..

[@JJS432]

Good to see you picked up the SpydrX+ that I mentioned a few videos back!

[@Just4Growers]

Yes - thanks for the inspiration James!

[@fredsanford1437]

Everest Fernandez could u do a video about that spyderX? They're very expensive.

[@krustyoldsmoker85]

I really like the videos clean nice language and you make it enjoyable to watch people do not realize how much work it is to do a very nice indoor grow and if you're running a 3 light system cuttings clones vegging and then blooming first thing I do when I get up go to each station make sure everything looks good take my little dog out for a walk make my coffee then my morning starts it is very enjoyable work but it is work to maintain a properly set up system my health is not the best but they walking my little dog and working in my garden for me it is a full day job you have a very nice day sir thank you for the nice video I look forward to the next one always give thumbs up he he he

[@monkeyboy4333]

Everest!!! can u make a vid of different hydro setups? pros /cons mybe show how to setup dwc and change nut on it!:D

[@spencerlanely1843]

Good video. You have a lot of different systems , additives, equipment etc. I use aeroponics, a good nutrient, blue lab truncheon meter and ph pen. I also add silica and Dutch master zone as the only additives. Good intake and out take of air. Fast explosive growth. The only thing left I need to do is insulate my shed. Keep up the good content.

[@grownonymous]

$1000 of BlueLab meters in a 12ft space??? Must be nice man. :)

[@johhnyglaze1]

He went and got some nice rims man...

[@taniawhitaker1008]

Enjoying your videos and learning a ton!! Thanks!🐈

[@Just4Growers]

thanks Tania! Much appreciated :)))))

[@jomorkenstrseth3526]

So glad I stopped doing hydro. So much work and constant fear of something going wrong. Good video though.

[@yeahnahsweetas]

lol @ Happy Gilmore style tub filling. Everest, if there was an award for efficiency of knowledge delivery, it would have your name all over it.

[@jamesthegrower]

I absolutely love your videos Everest!!

[@jamesbarnes4964]

do a coco grow over watered and under watered loved your overwatering video with guess the leaf!!

[@akhydroponics]

hey everest what about monthly and anual tasks. give us some everest transplanting and cloning as well maybe even advanced pest managment practices will make us all happy. thanks. your awesome and keep it up.

[@HTCbada]

Thanks for all the nice videos! Would it be possible to make a video about pollinating? I can`t imagine that you do it with Q-tips. :P

[@TheMrAGP]

Great video! I appreciate how you put a description of the products in the video. Anyway you could write them down or even add links in the description? Thanks!!

[@ericjensen4974]

Mad props Everest

[@ensurepaintingplusllc]

Do you have anything on getting clean filtered air for your intake grow tent? Would love to see you cover a set up for this and where to place the intake fan before or after the filter/ducting. Thanks for all you do one of the best on here hands down✌🏻

[@kirabarsmith9353]

Thanks, Everest!

[@TechieBuildsTiny]

dude number 4, it all makes sense now lol. i think you need MORE espressos lol

😂 nice intro with the crocs and the shades

[@Just4Growers]

It takes someone special to appreciate the good things about Crocs.

1st ! great video mate ! such a big fan off yours !

[@Just4Growers]

It shows! Thanks so much for your love and support. Do you play War Robots on iOS? ;-) If so, join the J4G [GROWERS] clan!

[@navigator902]

check check and double check Everest I do the same only on a slight smaller scale... thanks for all your good info... I love to gorw Hydroponically, its the greatest sensation, and the food is bigger and more delicious.

[@hopefullygreen7835]

Really helpful thank you for sharing

[@jordykingstongrows3639]

Keep them videos coming 🙌

[@Just4Growers]

I will amigo!

[@ChuckCanada1]

Cleaning up dead leaves is something a lot of growers don't do. It's huge! Leaving dead and dyeing leaves around just sends off signals to bugs to come for their meal.

[@moj2004]

Get one of those water hose monitor it will tell you how many gallons come out your hose

[@markdixon7033]

Hey Everest, How you doing Man ? Love all your vids. I use the GH 3 part flora nutes. Everest do i add my calmag before the micro,gro and bloom or after. Thanks so much. Keep up the great work. Take care.

[@mmmmm49513]

Definitely next level

[@kcarviperj5837]

Man dudes got 12 blue lab meters there are starving growers that can't even have new bulbs :(

[@Just4Growers]

+KCARVIPER J Now you’re making me feel bad.

[@fredsanford1437]

Don't hate. Congratulate.

[@robertleavitt2149]

So go get the $$ to get the items you need. I find that complaining about what others have and feeling sorry for myself is NEVER the way to get the stuff I want.

[@dannydevito7000]

Growing is exponential. You spend money at the beginning just to get started. Then the harvests fund your expansion!

[@stephenedge4885]

As always informative. What would you say are the best nutrients for Rockwool? Tea? Specific brand?

[@danielmacdougall2697]

Aloha Everest, cheers from Australia. Still loving those heavy fruiting annuals ???? So say the Knights of Ni ... a shrubbery no doubt 😎

[@Just4Growers]

+Daniel Macdougall Thanks Daniel, will do. Glad my vids are finding viewership down under. Big love!

[@jimmydillinger2716]

There is just too much grow stuff all around your house. It's overwhelming the amount of care you take. But its starting to make since

[@DanarSetiyady]

Andai saja diIndonesia sudah banyak yg menerapkan pertanian ini...

[@johnp9988]

GRACIAS AMIGO!

[@johhnyglaze1]

I can hear the expresso in your voice (lol). Thanks for the info.

[@thorntonselectrical968]

Hi love the videos, could you do a video on you kahn air con as I'm looking into buying one, thanks keep up the good work 👌👍🙏

[@Just4Growers]

Sure thing Richard. I've had mine for a few months now and I'm very happy with it. The line has some very interesting, high-tech features that make it super efficient. Not cheap, but I'm beginning to think they are worth every penny!

[@CAAKFamilyReptiles]

You are a flippin machine!!!

[@liquidambar3688]

So, does the carbon filter do a good job filtering out the penetrant smell of the pepper plants?

[@johnnygavita]

I'd be honored to your neighbor Everest. I'd buy you your own pair of Crocs for my room

[@mattimus1895]

I grow in dirt... So.. I just make sure lights are on and occasionally water. Sorry if I made that to complicated..

[@Just4Growers]

+mattimus ?? Heheh. Quality water I hope amigo :) Keep an eye out for soil-borne bugs, nutrient depletion during mid to late flowering and, of course, your temperature range and relative humidity. Dirt indeed! What exactly do you use? Is it a store-bought organic potting mix?

[@joshsimpson10]

Hey I am curious what are you looking at % side in terms of using tap water that is relatively soft? You have so much space I am jealous, but I am trying to decide wether it is worth the trouble to R/O my reservoirs.

[@mangumatt]

I know it's not too terribly different, but do you grow in soil? And if you do, or did, how would your checklist differ?

[@Blaculo]

I want that Spyderx

[@jeremiahwilson1781]

Hey no fair. Your Bluelab Combos have back lights. When did they come out with this?? Mine doesnt!!!!

[@nameless4323]

Can u teach us how to prune

[@mikep9341]

On a moisture soil meter what number should i water at?

[@marksteps1712]

sticky bugs traps or bug zappers

[@mikep9341]

Also how far should my isolating fans be from flowers?

[@justpeanuts123]

Personally I try to set all fans as far as possible away from the plants so that they just get enough to ruffle the leaves a bit here and there and nothing directly at the plants. Happy growing. 👍

[@wrightcatherine7713]

Hello Everest, are you from Canada or USA?

[@ThePlayasyougo]

Why do you top up with just water and then wait until the plants consume a full tanks worth and only then add nutrients?

[@Just4Growers]

Sorry if this was unclear. I add additional nutrients when I top up, if the EC / PPMs fall below my target.

[@ThePlayasyougo]

Ok, thanks for replying. Keep up the good videos!

[@-Airwalk1616-]

@Everest Fernandez that last pic of the mountains... do you live in UT??

[@Just4Growers]

Hi Airwalk, those are actually the foothills of the Pyrenees in southern France-shot from a wonderful animal park near a place called Casteil. Here's a link to its exact location if you're interested: goo.gl/QLwjLT

[@rjweiss1]

Sometimes I watch this on 2x speed just to see if I can keep up

[@kazimir8086]

Are you still working on outdoor stuff?

[@Just4Growers]

I've been fairly quiet outdoors this summer IP-more of a winter outdoor vegetable gardener these days-temperatures are far more agreeable.

[@8ending8ranches]

I want to make this videos audio my alarm clock

[@l.g.3124]

how many ppms do you add for seedlings in coco coir?

[@Just4Growers]

+L. G. 200 - 300 PPM for just popped seedlings will work for many species.

[@yellowbendyman8275]

4-5 espresso! You monster! What is wrong with you? Keep the info coming bro 👊

[@blackweed3078]

👍👍👍👍

[@ph1ogic]

how much does this guy make off peppers? not enough thats for damn sure what the hell you do with all your peppers Everest?

[@blkelvis2827]

Always 🎯

[@Just4Growers]

PEACE!

[@Glebiys]

My tap water is 8.5 ph so I use a lot of General Hydroponics ph down. Is it bad for plants?

[@jaredjournet4306]

Yeah it can cause hermis

[@Just4Growers]

+Glebiys LA Sounds like you have hard water, with lots of carbonates and bicarbonates present. Meanwhile, pH down is usually phosphoric acid. H3PO4. Sometimes nitric acid HNO3. Sometimes (as in the case of GH pH down) a blend (although mostly phosphoric I believe). When these acids are added to water / nutrient solution they disassociate putting free H+s into the solution. The reason you are having to add a lot of acid is because of the presence of things like calcium and magnesium carbonate and bicarbonate (e.g. Calcium carbonate - CaCO3) This is the chemical reaction if you really want to know! :) 3CaCO3 + 2H3PO4 -> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2CO3 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2O + 3CO2 Or in English: Calcium Carbonate + Phosphoric Acid → Calcium Phosphate + water + Carbon dioxide. So instead of your phosphoric acid simply putting more H+ (protons) into your nutrient solution to lower the pH, you're creating more fertilizer in the form of a salt, calcium phosphate, and carbon dioxide too as your phosphoric acid reacts with the calcium carbonate. ;) Of course, once all the carbonates / bicarbonates have reacted with the acid then, and only then, will it start to raise the pH in the longer term. Hence it seems like you have to add a lot before you get anywhere. You may wish to use nitric acid in the grow stage and phosphoric in the bloom - but be especially careful when handling nitric acid (or any acid!) as it can burn horribly if spilt. Always work with dilute 1:100 solutions of acid - but that solution should be made with distilled or RO water. Anyway, then you'll be adding more nitrates in grow and more phosphates in bloom - when your plants need those the most. I saw the other comment and should point out that calcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate do not cause dioecious plants to express hermaphroditism. Sometimes large swings in pH can cause that, which is where the confusion might originate. If you are handling your nutrient solution pH correctly then that won't be an issue.
