Monster Plant Grows in Styrofoam Cage

It's alive.
You will not be disappointed!

Jeb: "Do you hear that buzzing? I am become the Bumble Bee." Music: *dramatically intensifies* Me: "Hell yeah!"

Yes the timing was fortunate there

Why do huge, powerful orchestral pieces work over footage of plants? Who knows, and who cares. This is the content I sign up for when I go on KZbin.

[@JebGardener]

you could probably put it over decent footage of anything colorful

[@mp3809]

It's the power of Stargate

[@luclucas135]

Some seem to actually get really wet on the stuff ! Music & the slow voicing (good job on that Jeb) get's the job done even with very average results ! I watch it & the comments as a social study & im having a blast !!

[@mateodabs7333]

Jeb Gardener I thought it was because classical music (when played in close proximity with the plants) can cause plants to bigger and faster

[@luclucas135]

Drama...Seems to work with people who dont have any growing knowledge !

[@glennrusty]

Very cool. That is how I get all the 4' x 8' sheets of stuff home in my tiny car, lol. I have never grown cucumbers indoor, I think I will convert part of my garage this winter. Thanks much boss!!

Yeah I saw the drywall trick like this on SeeJaneDrill. The foam is not as sturdy as I thought it would be.

Time to change your channel name, Jeb Bumblebee :)

[@JebGardener]

no thanks

[@JeremiahWdabullfrog]

🤣

[@cpoky]

What I used to use, kinda same thing, is old Refrigerators. Id line the inside with heavy duty foil with Metal Foil Tape, fill the Crisper Drawer with dirt, and use whatever light you choose. Break off the Trigger switch for the light, disconnect the power to the Freon pump and hook the plug up to a Timer. Big, metal, insulated, sealed TIGHT. Heat, light, odor, NOTHING escapes. Not even heat from a high heat bulb. Works pretty good and nobody suspects it a "Plant House"

[@Coorweiser]

:D

[@hanglo7606]

You need airflow

[@awiesozial]

Sounds great but how do you manage airflow?

[@frankcruz1867]

Sounds like an oven with the heat not escaping.

I chuckled a little when I realized it was from Stargate, and that somehow made growing cucumbers way more epic. Feels like you need to pain the back of the styrofoam to look like an alien space ship.

This season has been very generous to us with all these videos. A bountiful harvest of Jeb Science that continues to push the boundaries of botany. I got a very sci-fi feeling with this video and a slight sprinkle of madness. Keep up the fantastic content. I kind of laughed when the bottle came up and was like "Is that empty?

This is by far the best gardening video I have ever seen. Thank you for making this masterpiece : , )

[@wallypizza323]

That was intense! Really shows the impact the musical score makes.

[@Orutra621]

I too am usually under the aegis of vodka and pizza when gardening and building. Also, I did some more research on a question I asked about using plastic for hydroponics. The BPA molecule, and other plasticizers, are non-polar and too big to enter the Casparian Strip, so they do not get into the plant. Seems like I was being too cautious.

[@JebGardener]

do you have a link to that info? Thanks.

[@Orutra621]

I will compile the papers I read. There was no one direct answer, I gleaned it from multiple papers about the Casparian Strip and the BPA molecule. I will get the papers together that aren't behind a paywall and send it to you. I'll post what I can in a comment so everyone can see it.

[@JebGardener]

yeah i just like to see where info comes from. i suspected the molecules were too big, but i don't have testing equipment to know for sure

[@royardianto]

Orutra621 I'm also curious about this issue, since lots of cheaper hydroponic setup uses variety of plastics...

[@Orutra621]

Here is a good place to start while I comb through my papers to find the pertinent ones: medium.com/container-gardening/can-food-crops-be-grown-safely-in-plastic-containers-b634292ff6a7 Here is a good quote from the forum: "John Chater · University of California, Riverside Department of Botany and Plant Sciences “BPA is a relatively large (and non-polar) molecule compared to the ions that plants typically are taking up (K+, N03-, Mg++, … ), so I do not think that the plant will take up the BPA (which has two phenol-groups in the structure). There is theoretically no way for the soil’s BPA to get into the crop. Remember, all materials need to pass through the Casparian strip in order to make it through the root’s endodermis and into the vasculature.”"

[@tylerrunck5481]

i took a few hours to go back and watch some older videos and came up with a question. if possible.. could you make a playlist of the music you use? id love to be able to sit back and take a nap to it

[@nothingelsetolose7661]

This was the most awesome editing with music effects really capture the whole monster theme of the video I laughed too hard simply one of the most entertaining videos on youtube to date just Brilliant on so many levels good job

[@cirelefebure5485]

Great video/content, thank you sir.

[@gz7006]

I loved the video, but have a question. Normally, you use the Kratky method of hydroponics, but in your last couple of videos you decided to add a pump to oxygenate the water. Why is that? Is it because of the specific plant being cultivated?

[@JebGardener]

for this one it is the ratio of the root mass to the surface area of the water. also indoors it is relatively inexpensive to add air

[@gz7006]

Jeb Gardener I see. Thanks for the explanation.

[@themastertater420]

i use a small atomizer in the water to turn it into vapor, the roots suck it up...they are cheap cause once you toss it in the nutes they get coated in salts and stop working efficiently after about 50-65 days depending how strong the solution you use.

[@waheedak47]

Just Another Videoless Channel hey what solution did u use an can u use it with tomatoes

[@JebGardener]

thats why i used the temperature controller

[@jaimedelgado7529]

Jeb Gardener hey consider growing chayote next. Its climbs with hooks like this plant, it grows very fast very easy and big and you get a ton of veg to eat plus in Cali weather is perfect you dont need grow light. In my place I lived before in one season it covered the whoLe fence between me n my next door neighbor

[@recoveringsoul755]

jaime delgado But what do you DO with it? My neighbors had that, hanging over our fence all the time. I saw them in the grocery store once. I guess you're supposed to cook them. I couldn't get them to something I wanted to eat. (also in CA) I knew those were japanese cucumber. I was worried they would get too heavy and pull down the plant.
