Indoor Tomatoes and Peppers!

[@KoopsTech]

So awesome with the tomatoes! Can’t wait for a strawberry update. Have been on the edge of buying your course, trying to save up for making a rail system for strawberries! Hope the new rails or going good

[@christinacyrus3824]

Can you tell us the names of the varieties you are growing ? Thanks

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

Tiny Tim Tomato and Mohawk Pepper - I added links for each one in the video description.

[@kevinvan8605]

I'm really inspired by your video's and want to build one. Can you provide the info on that rack.. and maybe how much width do I need for a 3 rail setup for lettuce? Thanks again for expertise.

[@elizabethr2908]

I’m so excited to see dwarf tomatoes growing in a rail like that❤ How far apart are the holes you drilled for the net cups! Great video! I’m definitely going to do this! 🥰

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

I drilled them 24" apart to give lots of space for foliage and roots.

[@Dev-lc4cd]

I don't understand the pepper plant size issue. Can't you prune them so they stay short and grow bushier instead?

[@6ix9inethorstensen4]

Hey big fan of your stuff:) can you please try to plant some bigger plants to test like growing corn or something:)

[@plantbasedprepper]

Are the Peppers self pollinating?

[@petrsoukup6904]

Could please link what LED light are you using? I am struggling to pick something - so many choices...

[@janpete6658]

same here!

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

Yeah sure thing! Just added the link to the video description. I highly recommend these - low cost and easy to set up.

@@SimpleGreensHydroponics Thank you! I still have to research what is their EU alternative, but this is great starting point

[@JoshuaJoshua0]

I'm learning so much from your videos. Thanks! Have you tried the Kratky method with your rails?

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

I haven't. I like having a circulating system to improve dissolved oxygen and to give easier access to the nutrient solution.

[@JoshuaJoshua0]

@@SimpleGreensHydroponics I'm hoping to setup a rail system like yours but make it static with Kratky. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

What height is the lighting for tomatoes and peppers (as compared to lettuce and strawberries)?

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

I have the lighting around 20" above the top of the rail and that seemed to work well. So a few inches higher than lettuce.

[@mr.lourod6175]

Instead of expanding more do some trimming 😂 the other suggestion would be to have them rails low and the lights higher to hang those tomatoes from the highest point there 😂 but I love the setup and will be setting it up soon to give it a shot in my garage.

[@thatcanadianguy3327]

I really want to set up a hydroponics system but my main concern is the moisture inside the home causing mold or rot, do you think it would be an issue?

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

It's something to watch, but I haven't noticed a big increase in my humidity. A small dehumidifier keeps up with several hydroponic systems in my home.

[@keivkeiv]

Do you do anything to prevent algae growing on top of the plugs? Thank you!

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

Keeping the plugs just lightly moist helps. Once the plants grow larger they block light to the plugs and there's usually no issue.

[@keivkeiv]

@@SimpleGreensHydroponics Thank you! Really enjoying the setup you designed. Already harvesting some! Keep it up

[@trineenaisrael7851]

What temperature should the area be when growing indoor hydroponics? Does that matter?

[@MB-co6qj]

15-30 C

[@gilesfraser1802]

What Is you NPK pH and PPM

[@papuafarm1224]

how much is the ppfd or PAR and DLI

[@MB-co6qj]

You could just prune the tops, nodes enough to grow from :)

[@bharatwaj7017]

Could you explain how you control pests and insects without using any pesticides and insecticides. I find it extremely hard.

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

That's always a challenge. I've had success with this grow by being extremely careful not bring anything from outdoors near my system.

[@saurabhkale2578]

hey broo what's the price of basil per lb in your country ?

[@400tenchu]

Very expensive and it can range depending on the store and how it's grown. Wegmans sells it for $2.99 USD for 2oz. So multiply that by 8 and you get $23.92 a lb for fresh basil leaves. Walmart is even worse at $3.96 a oz for organic fresh basil which multiplied by 16 is $63.36 a lb. Very good to grow cheaply in a system like this. Hope this helps give you a idea. Of course sometimes you can get discounts or get it cheaper.

[@saurabhkale2578]

@@400tenchu thanks .... can you use instagram ?

[@TVCarsxn]

What light is that?

[@SimpleGreensHydroponics]

Barrina grow lights - I just added a link in the video description if you want to check them out.

[@mikea7942]

Very nice.
