Join me as I explore the various ways of hydroponic gardening. We shall explore hydroponics and planting indoors - in your own home - perfect for condo living or homes with limited space. Imagine, growing your own vegetables in a soil-less environment. So is hydroponics the future of farming? Lets find out!
Finally a video with the same environment as me. I want to grow vegetables and marigold but I live in an apartment and only have an afternoon sun. Subscribing nowww ✨
I’m not growing hydroponic I’m growing in soil. Can I still fertilize my plants through watering or should I use fertilizer powder in the soil? Everywhere I see this I see it’s used for hydroponics growing
hi. yes, you can fertilize through watering. I use masterblend as my hydroponic nutrient solution and you can also use masterblend for soil based plants.
oh, many places offer seeds. I buy at times in supermarket (like the marigold), or even hardware stores. then there is always online. just make sure there's an expiration date so you know if seeds are good.
I love your videos! Great step by step information. I especially like the way you reuse everyday containers. I would like to see how to reuse coco coir if it's possible. ❤
Thanks for sharing your video with us 👍. Hope all grows well. Love your methods. I will be trying this as well. A new subscriber 👍 will be following your channel. Thanks 👍
Thank you po. Would like to ask if is it okey to use t8 led tubular but the shorter version? It says 65k daylight buy the lumen is 1200 only and 9 watts only.. thabk you
you may need to place 4 of the lights in a row. it also depends on what you're growing. but those lights are good for most microgreens, good also for others like lettuce, pechay, basil, bokchoi, kale, cilantro, or any green leafy vegetables in general. have fun!
hi. yes until flower and harvest. you can alternate nutrient solution with 5.28gram for masterblend tomato, 5.28gram for calcium nitrate, and 2.64gram for epsom on 10 liter of water
base your t8 on the lumen rating which should be over 2k and Kelvin over 5k. usually most 16-18 watts daylight give this depending on manufacturer. leave lights on from 6am to 8pm
hi. I've had ocra harvest in batches of around 4 to 5 times and after that, my variety was not as productive as before. And I usually start with a new veggie plant to see what else I can grow hydroponically except for basil which is my favorite (so its always planted.) Okras are supposed to be indeterminate plants though so they should last a year.
Create your own test liquids using A Calibrated Meter & PH down and store the liquid in bottles in a dark cool area. Then you do not need to ever purchase any of these crystal packs.
Great outcome. However, I wouldn't recommend putting any kind of flat plastic and weights onto the seeds like you did in the beginning. Doing that prevented you from actually watching your seeds to see when they sprouted. Then when you finally did check on them they were very leggy. I'm surprised they weren't damaged by the weight. The moment they sprout, you want to put the grow lights right on them so they won't end up so leggy like they did. You could've just put a plastic bag over them, some plastic saran wrap, or the original lid of the container. But like I said, great outcome.
Tried hydroponics, can't see the advantages, understand if there is limited space ?! Impossible to keep out algae & constantly check/refill water, pump, nutrients ?!
I think the main advantage is that with hydro-kratky (no pumps needed) and LED lights - I can grow veggies under a clean environment with cocopeat, especially for indoor gardening. I don't use soil and all the bugs that come along with it. I have no problems with algae as long as the containers are covered, and refilling allows me to visit the plants which I enjoy doing. Using nutrient solution saves me the worry I had before, unlike with soil, I always had to think about compost and fertilizer :)
hi! if you're new to hydroponics, may i suggest you try microgreens first ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rkKUL16iJrw.html (there are links in this video for more) just to feel the cocopeat without the need of nutrient solution. then eventually, learn about how to mix nutrient solution and how to use a ph reader to move on to growing veggies including cucumbers using the kratky method (which i use). kratky is the simplest hydroponic method because you can recycle food containers and you do not need pumps like other hydro methods.
