Wow, those tomatoes and cucumbers really took off! Those tomatoes are absolutely thriving having been transplanted into the bato buckets around a month or so ago!

[@HomegrownPassion]

yea it's a jungle for sure. going to have to start getting ready to lean and lower soon.

[@godisincontrol32]

Very nice 🙂 thank you..

First time I saw a shrink wrap done. You have a neat looking hydroponics greenhouse. Thank you for a beautiful video sharing all your tips!

Thanks for watching!

Great start to your season.

Your topnotch as well

Your welcome 😁

Sorry

[@Debbie62]

I use an old spice container with the larger holes to seed my broccoli microgreen seeds.

[@HomegrownPassion]

That is a great idea! Thank you!

[@margarettekanealii4101]

Love your video and your garden. I’m growing micro greens and other veggies indoor hydroponically for home consumption only.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thats great! It is fun and satisfying knowing you're eating your own vegies.

[@dijwarmo5046]

😲 very nice

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thanks 😊

[@yellowdogfarm]

I learn something from every video. This time it was your method of sowing microgreens.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Great to hear!

[@scorpionking8353]

I love this kind of life...growing food,,taking care of cows.

[@HomegrownPassion]

we love it too

[@supplies4reptiles228]

don't know what i will do if this channel should close!! you guys are amazing thank you!!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thank you too!

[@user-br7hm2zk5e]

Hi hi

[@jasonthirlaway7412]

Great video, suggestion heat shrink the closed ends towards the open end, don't close it all up and heat shrink you leave air in the package best to shrink it down then close the end with less air in it then seal the bag up then close it off with the heat gun. there also vacuum pumping then seal with a small vacuum pump and a rubber tube seal away with most the air is gone. Maybe helpful for other veggies and fruits. Take care, one farmer to another.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Thanks will have to look into that

[@qmoonwalker3847]

Can't believe how much those tomatoes and cuc's have grown since your last video! Amazing. Well done! Do the lady bugs work best at getting rid of the pests or do you attack with LD's and organic stuff. What type of organic spray do you guys like? Thanks.

[@HomegrownPassion]

So, we have used lady bugs in the past and they did work great when we had some thrips and aphids many years ago. We have not used for a couple of years because we haven't had a bug problem.

[@blueneptune5860]

You guys are awesome I've ordered those grow trays you use for the lettuce for my Grand hideaway verry cool . Ile now order up that grow matt thanks you helped allot. Check out Grand hideaway green houses mine took 142 MPH winds a few years ago -Hurricane SW FL. only the roof vent bent but no broken glass.

wow that's awesome. Will check it out. Thank you!

[@srkhanvlogs]

Very Nice presented thankyou for all the insight- the substrate used for microgreen, it looked thin, is it sturdy to hold the shoots when they grow 4-6 inches tall

[@HomegrownPassion]

Yes, it is We typically grow them larger and have never had a problem.

[@JoeDavidson-gc7zo]

Hello Joe, from Springfield Missouri watching your video here what was that roll that you put in to the NFT before you put the seeds in but I see you had a big bag of them seeds.

[@HomegrownPassion]

just a bio strate thats made for micro greens. Yes, you can order large bags of micro seeds from Johnny Seeds

[@dalewolver8739]

i saw a white fly when you touched the yellow card

[@HomegrownPassion]

Hi Dale, when we viewed the video on the TV, we saw it too.... good eye! Well hopefully its only 2.

[@elizabethhappiestwhengarde2938]

Super informative! I'm wondering what type of lights are you running? How powerful are they? This winter and last winter I took a shoot from my black krim tomatoes and rooted them. In both instances they seem to have stalled at the same point in growth. Not getting any taller and the tomatoes not growing past 2½" inches. My soil is good and nutrients are good. So the only thing I can think is my lights aren't strong enough to grow the plant past the stage they are at. Not like your tomatoes! I'm jealous! Other than perhaps lighting, any suggestions? Thank you!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Lighting is for sure important but also remember tomatoes like the heat and don't let them get too cold at night. It will really slow down there growth.

[@chrisranes7964]

Haven't seen Devon in a while. Is she not on the channel anymore?

[@ScottWatters-bu6yg]

Are the cattle Polled Herefords? What variety are your greenhouse English cucumbers? Finally, is there an update on Doug's auto repair shop?!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Yes, Polled Hereford's. Poniente is a long European cucumber. The car is fixed and runny great. we didn't take any more videos of car stuff because Doug didn't think anyone would want to watch auto stuff.

[@bartendersunny1]

Can you help us understand the timelines for commercial tomatoes and when you plant how many for certain yields at certain times? I guess I wonder how you manage time and tomatoes lol

[@HomegrownPassion]

We used to plant just one growth per season starting the plants in December and growing them to end of October This year we did 2. Not sure it matters when you plant them in the greenhouse as long as you have the light and heat requirements. We plant around our sales and try to have things that other farms don't have. So, tomatoes in the winter is a big seller for us. August not so much because everyone has tomatoes. If that makes sense.

[@danielglaus2064]

Well we miss her

[@melodylyons4631]

Howdy. Love to see you Where do you get your nutes from, please? I saw hydro gardens closed.

[@rawbsworld6604]

🤔 I think they get their newts from under logs & rocks in the woods or down by the river 🤷‍♂️ 🤪✌️

[@HomegrownPassion]

We buy all our nutrients in bulk from CropKing. They are close and we can go and pick them up which saves on shipping. If you are looking for bulk let me know and tell me where you are and maybe I can hook you up with a greenhouse friend that's close to you and see where they get theirs.

[@johnman559]

How do you stop your emitters from clogging Katie? Acids at the end?

[@HomegrownPassion]

no there are filters inline and we don't get clogged.

[@jimconstant3489]

When pollinating tomatos, all thats required is to shake the pollin off the flower with a vibrating brush?

[@HomegrownPassion]

yep.... thats it

[@rawbsworld6604]

How about a blue lab combo meter update / demonstration? Be neatO to see the numbers of the run off between winter maters and summer maters 🤔 wonder if they stay the same or differ ? ie artificial lighting and sunlight? 🤷‍♂️ hahaha don’t construe this as peer pressure 😝 just thinking out loud 🤪 ✌️🤙

[@HomegrownPassion]

you always have some great ideas. Sounds like a future video to me. Thank you!

[@scalpelmaster]

Hello! May I know the name of the rolled growing medium you used? I'm just starting out with microgreens and hydrophonics and I'd like to try out different types of growing media. Thanks!

[@HomegrownPassion]

We get that from CropKing. We call it biostrate but we like it because breaks down in the compost pile and is super clean.

[@JimNapaCA]

Thank you for sharing! What state are you in? I'm in Napa CA

[@HomegrownPassion]

We are in Ohio. Just north of Ashland

[@JimNapaCA]

@Homegrown Passion Hope to see more! My lady is from Ohio, always a thumbs up!

[@dianel.8178]

What is biostraight made of?

[@HomegrownPassion]

The white Bio Strate is a cotton like product. I don't know for sure, but it does compost.

[@sunnyjones682]

How old are your cucs when you decide to let them go and harvest for market?

[@HomegrownPassion]

I let the plants go after trimming at 5 nodes. New video on this Saturday morning. check it out.

[@CriticoolHit]

Zero-tol seems to just be a dry-base hydrogen peroxide. Do you use this in your reservoirs as well or are you using another sterilizing agent (chlorine based) for that?

[@johnman559]

I've been considering spraying plants with hydrogen peroxide is it any good?

[@CriticoolHit]

@@johnman559 Only if you're trying to combat something like powdery mildew or knock down a thrips infestation. Hydrogen peroxide is just water with one extra "Hydrogen PER Oxide". This oxygen molecule breaks off rapidly and then all you have is water and a bit more oxygen.

[@HomegrownPassion]

We use hypogrow in the reservoir works great.

[@johnman559]

@@HomegrownPassion thanks Katie!

[@michaelpye5972]

How do you avoid blossom end rot on the tomatoes

[@HomegrownPassion]

really important to keep PH and EC right in line and don't stress the plants. Blossum end rot has never been a problem for us.

the side does have a tear from a few years ago. A panel blew off the high tunnel and sliced the side. We have not replaced the sides yet.... going to do that this spring.
