I took cuttings to replace the one that was lost.

Worms vs Hormones! The heat took it from me before it's time. Luckily the plant's scion was ready to renew itself. I tested six ways of starting clones.

I'm at the beginning of the video. The concept... Genius.

how did it go?

[@plantedinpr886]

Well, It branched off in different segments but really, the scientific method was applied so you were able to learn and take us with you. Success. 🙂

[@plantedinpr886]

Honestly I didn't keep track of all of it, it was mostly the different techniques and the way you spoke about it that made it more interesting to me.

Great video Jeb! Its been a long while since I watched your videos (i think 3 years), I love how you still have the exact same video style as when I watched. I see most of your projects have evolved and still do the fun experiments. Will catchup on more videos soon, awesome stuff.

My friend shawna says she enjoys all of your videos!!

[@MiggyManMike]

So if there is an issue with oxygenation and you have the sun how about adding a small solar panel and an low voltage aquarium pump to one of them to see if it improves things ? A length of tube with pin pricks along the length would make a reasonable manifold to "deliver" air across the base of a tote.

[@JebGardener]

yes but scale is the goal

[@stevekent3991]

Jeb, is it definitely the heat which is killing your plants? I haven’t done Kratky outdoors for a number of years now. Have you thought about experimenting with sticking an air stone in your containers. A solar powered one would do. I know that’s not passive hydroponics but it might be worth an experiment to see if lack of oxygen rather than heat is the issue? To help keep the soil surrounding the container cooler, you could do with growing something in that soil. It looks like lifeless dirt.

[@ErrantWanderings]

[@markchinguz4401]

It reaaaallly looks like there's not enough of an air gap, the plants have 0 air roots

[@CyberwizardProductions]

jeb - could you put a small solar pump and an airstone (like you use in a fish tank) to put a constant source of oxygen into your tank? And just spray them with Neem oil

[@JebGardener]

hmmm time consuming?

[@30gills]

Jeb great videos, phenomenal music. I had a tomato plant that I was growing in dirt and it was about a third grown and I transplanted it in a dwc with air stone. I am using master blend nutes. I had a ph of 6.4 and a ec of 1.6. Needles to say is just died. What did I do wrong?

Yo can u make a music play list or something like that. I love all the music you use
