I forgot to add my Basil plants update. They're all doing awesome! When your plant goes thru shock it will: -look like crap -wilted, weak, maybe some leaf death It WILL bounce back! May take a week or two but it will. That's where the root hormone helps!
I like how you don't talk like ur in a commercial. It's more realistic, so I appreciate the attitude more and I relate more as well. Also very informative. Keep it real homie.
Just found this video and your channel today, so thrilled to see these experiments! I was just given an Aerogarden and me and my ADHD brain also want to do a science with it! Love seeing your (and I mean this as positively as possible so please take it that way) low-rent experiments, really makes me want to do more myself!!
I ordered one yesterday and I wanted to use my own seeds to start the type of plants I wanted and get them rooted enough to put in soil like you are doing. Thank you for showing it is possible. I love the way you teach without making me feel less than. Great channel 👍
When I have heavily rooted plants I want to pot up I've figured out if you take the pointed end of a skewer or something kind of pointed and you use the plastic as a guide. You can use the skewer to run along the plastic and part the roots and you can detangle it and the roots come right out on the plant with minimal damage! Hope it helps☺️
Oh those poor roots, they got ripped up good, I also feel the pain. I know this video is a year old and you might already be doing this but here's my suggestion. First step is to cut the plastic holder with one vertical slice. To hold it together just tape the cut on the top label then add the pod and seed as normal. When you're ready to transplant simply cut the tape and open up the plastic holder like a clamshell. Your roots will thank you later with an extra bountiful harvest!
Oh my heavens this is kind of like the stuff I do. I have five Hydroponic gardens and I must say once an arrow garden and the other four are knock offs on Amazon and they're not anywhere as close to being good but I experiment constantly and I buy a lot of seeds on eBay. Just ordered those micro tomatoes seeds. It is a lot of fun and a lot of work thanks
I think I remember seeing a video once where the dude snipped out like, every other plastic bit in the pod, so there are still just enough to hold the sponge in, but much easier to remove it. This was before starting it in the Aerogarden though.
So a bit of a trick when you plan to pot up your aerogarden plants. After you detatch the roots from the basket, I lightly wrap the top of the sponge with tin foil and pop it back in the aerogarden. Gives the plant a bit of time to recover from the root damage in a familiar, hydroponic environment. Once it's past the worst of the shock, you move to soil, keep it really wet, and place it right next to your Aerogarden. That way, it's following similar light cycles, similar temperature, and it is only having to adapt to the soil. So yeah, more steps, and it takes longer, but it works!
Put a cut in the top, and the first band of the cup before planting, then wrap it with a small piece of tape, so when you are ready to transplant, you just have to cut the tape and remove the plant. Easy Peasy!
Loved your video, super funny 😄when you snatched the one plant out without cutting 😧I realized I was holding my breath and clenching my teeth (definitely the worst way) lol. New subscriber. I have two aerogardens I just started about 2 months ago and some of the plants are taking over, I think I want to place my tomatoes and jalapenos into soil but I have not a clue of what to do...hence searching for videos. Thanks again
Although this is a year old, the timing was perfect. I will be transferring pods from a tabletop unit to a DWC bucket and was thinking about how I would do it.
Watching you garden reminds me of how I garden, usually involves a bunch of oh shits, I'm getting a entry level uruq system off of Amazon to try to get a feel for these systems, I was thinking of trying gel rooting hormone on the cutting and poke it through the bottom like you did for cuttings, seems like doing clones like that would make it a breeze
OMG YOU ARE SO FUNNY, THANKS FOR SHARING , I OFTEN ASK MYSELF CAN A PLANT BE REMOVE FROM THE BASKET WHEN THEY BECOME THAT LARGE, THANKS TO YOU I GUESS THEY CAN.
U can buy those additionally but for budget sake u can coverl with aluminum foil. The paper blocked the light. Light on certain grow mediums(pods included) encourages algae growth
Your video is so chaotic and full of trial and errors. On top of that, you are so unruly. It make it like watch your crazy fun aunty explaining how she does things. Just don't tell your mommy. lol
