There are multiple ways to root or clone tomato suckers. For hydroponics, it needs to be done without soil. One of the easiest ways is with the use of growplugs. They hold a good amount of moisture, while still providing proper aeration. A couple of things to remember, keep them out of direct sunlight during the rooting process. And make sure you have some type of cover over them to maintain good humidity levels. Doing so will greatly increase your chances of success.

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

It's an easy way to get that late crop of tomatoes. Some folks are able to keep the spring crop going all thru the summer. But around here, blight wipes them out.

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

Hey Alex, There are 2 good ways to root sweet potatoes. Put them about halfway into a jar of water, and they'll send runners out the tip. Or, put them in a container of soil, and they'll sprout runners that way. Rockwool or other media are not needed.

@chickenlittle8993 2 года назад

Amazing and simplified information, wish you would do other cuttings. Been interested in Hydrangeas

@bamagts 11 лет назад

Humidity is key. I pulled a sucker off one of my plants after it rained so much, roots began to grow on the main stalk, so I placed the sucker I pulled and set it in spring water. 3 days later planted in soil. Had my work cut out fir me lol, not to mention tomatoes are extremely easy to clone. Good video man.

@EdiblePlants 11 лет назад

80 degrees. Wow. 22 here. 80 seams a way of here...great looking tomatos

great tips, great videos, glad i found you

@anywholetitb5696 11 лет назад

Bobby like your video on suckers. I tried putting them in the ground last year and they didn't do well. Think it was the sun that did them in. Not to mention the summer heat. I did it right after a good rain. Anyways it is trail and error in trying something out. Im going to keep trying to get suckers rooted. Now I have a mini greenhouse, Im sure that wil help a great deal. It is a great way to make new plants so a person can share with a neighbor or two. Have a goodun.

@sheryl2pnt0 11 лет назад

I will be trying this, thanks!

@rchopp 11 лет назад

Now that was some high quality info thank you very much, I have been gardening for years and have never tried that but up here in the north I'm lucky to get one crop, But it will come in handy when I move in next door then I won't have to come over and bother you and ask you how..lol

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

I get a longer period of production inside. Outside, blight usually wipes out the tomatoes in July. Manure is the main thing is use for soil building. Any other composted material would help.

@guitfidl 11 лет назад

I love your videos. Can you post a video detailing your water delivery system for the dutch buckets? Im not getting the same amount of water to the last buckets as the first buckets.

@mikecoonhunter101 11 лет назад

Nice video enjoyed it

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

I make sure the plugs are nice and moist to begin with, using plain water. I prefer to use suckers that are 4-6 inches in size. You can always cut them down. Once I see a few roots, I'll give them a bit of diluted fertilizer solution.

@pjohn73 4 года назад

What type of diluted fertilizer solution do you use when you only have a few roots? I use your formula for Dutch Buckets at the full strength.

@kentrockwoodtyler2933 10 лет назад

Good info. Funny too.

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

Bingo !

@d.a.r.9812 8 лет назад

@Sergejoncas 11 лет назад

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

It's 80+ inside the greenhouse. Outside, we're not even close to 80. But it has to warm up sooner or later. :)

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

LOL... that makes sense. But, did you save a few seeds?

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

These aren't made from soil or dirt. But you can make what they call "soil blocks". I'm sure there's a few videos around showing how.

@ArtGardenLLC 11 лет назад

Try using Cinnemon as a cloning agent if you run out of the store bought kind, it works just as good!

@arkarbo6055 5 лет назад

Good

@woodturningjohn 11 лет назад

Very cool, I will be looking for some of those grow plugs for things. I tried to do some clones but was unable to keep the plants alive all Winter in the house, and today is 27 with more snow so not sure if I will warm up enough soon enough to keep the rest of my stuff alive. Oh well, I learn just as much from failures.

@safhuss1298 7 лет назад

I never knew about these suckers that these can grow into another plant...wow

@Quietwoods2 11 лет назад

Thanks MHP, wow, great sucker video. I learned this last year and it works great. This video showed me grow plugs and saw the one you mention with rockwool plugs. Did you hear what he said, "Rockwool, made out of petrified sheep!" And you got off a good joke with the lollipops!

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

I'm anxious too...time to get outside and play in the dirt...if it would dry up. :(

@loislaney23 11 лет назад

Never tried that, great tips. Where do you buy your plugs? You probably told someone somewhere here, but you are getting so famous I can't read all the comments.

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

If your plant was CP'd, it will only show up in the seeds from whatever the plant produces. CP does not change the entire plant, only whatever blossoms happen to have been crossed. If you can still get suckers, they will be true to the mother.

@123kkambiz 11 лет назад

Thanks for very informative video, excellent information about using suckers as clone for tomato production. I have question, does sucker plant gives almost same amount of tomatoes as its parents? thanks .

@DJMovit 11 лет назад

I found those 5 gallon pail paint netting 2 for close to 4 bucks (Home Depot)... thinking of doing some dutch buckets on a small scale to start

@juniortucker266 10 лет назад

wow cool

@purpguy69 11 лет назад

I've also had them root right in the cup of water then just plant them straight to garden.

@Flowerhen 11 лет назад

Do you realize i now have an addiction??? I am rooting suckers left and right. I just put them in 10" pots or fiber 6 pk containers with moist soil and they root within a few days. I have over 100 plants in my garden and today i made room in my greenhouse for 10 big buckets for new tomato plants i rooted. I am finding pots with rooted suckers tucked in a shady spot in the garden that i have forgotten about. Nice to know now that the suckers can be rooted.

@tube8533 11 лет назад

Hi Bobby, I'm in Sacramento CA, the soil is bad in my garden so I want to try this stuff. I can not find the link where you show the beginning setup for the buckets...how the tomato plant seats in the bucket...so on... I appreciate if you guide me on this. thanks and God bless you! Nice work!, John

@sdfft820 Год назад

Bobby I took a sucker a put it partly submerged in a bucket of tomato hydroponics solution and soon it sprouted roots and grew just fine.

@kokokyikolove7149 6 лет назад

good

@williamsnapp4851 7 лет назад

I like your attitude about sharing plant information from other sources. You remind me of my family back in Kentucky who always planted to much so they could give away extra. Keep up the good work.

@deadman12078 11 лет назад

Suckers are fun. Last year I just cut them and threw them in the ground. Rooted, no problem and no real protection or special attention. That was last year during a drought.... got to love those soaker hoses. Or in my case garden hose with holes poked in it. Itching for the season to start. Eggs are in the incubator and seeds in the starter pots, rabbits are doing... what rabbits do

@MrVegetableGarden 11 лет назад

Those plugs look great! I wish I could find some.. I usually use plain water but last year the suckers rotted after a few days, not sure what happened

@Set-Apart-By-Grace 3 года назад

I started two clippings two weeks ago and have some good roots already. I put them in reg tap water with a little liquid plant food and set them by the window. I'm going to put them in soil soon with a liter soda bottle over them. My sister lost her tomato plant and I have two doing well in containers...she will get a clone :)

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

Yes, the sucker will give you about the same as the parent plant.

@GardenCalifornia 11 лет назад

Root Riot, huh? I gotta look for that. I successfully rooted suckers before with a liquid rooting solution. But this looks good too.

@GardenFrugal 11 лет назад

If you contact them they may send you a sample box. Let them know I sent you. I'll also pass your name onto them. Happy Gardening. Thanks again for sharing.

@Quietwoods2 11 лет назад

Man, I'm intrigued by this dutch bucket system. ONE BIG question: How do the tomatoes taste? When I think of hydroponic grown tomatoes, I think tasteless and a near waste of time. I've grown tomatoes using earthboxes and that's all commercial fertilizer, potting soil mostly peat moss, vermiculite, I stirred in some composted leaves. For me, it's about taste. Very intrigued. Thanks.

@trainingupjacobandesau1960 2 года назад

I’ve tried cloning in water but so far I have not been successful in trans-planting. I look forward to trying your method

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

I've never heard of a sucker not producing. The only thing I can think of is maybe they got a sucker from a determinate that had already terminating or something.

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

When people think hydroponic..they think storebought. The tomatoes are often picked green, never having a chance to ripen naturally. Those indeed are tasteless, much like cardboard. Let the tomato ripen on the vine, and the taste is much better.

@abdullhaalshareef8061 11 лет назад

hi, would u pls show me how to plant moringa olfeira , appreciate it ,thanks

@lexnuss791 8 лет назад

Cool!

@GardenFrugal 11 лет назад

Great video! Love it. I use Xtreme Gardening's Azos. Just drop the plugs in a bucket with it mixed up or dip the cutting in some and I got some amazing results. Tell them I sent you and they may send you some free samples. It's worth trying. My package of Azos goes a lot farther than the rooting hormone did.

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

Hahaha...now that's a good 'un ! Thankfully...this type of sucker is born intermittently. :)

@packrat28401 11 лет назад

Well Done, Thanks for the info.

@Blackhuf 5 лет назад

Like your attitude ;)

@mhpgardener 11 лет назад

Soaker hoses? You cheated ! LOL Keep the ground moist, and they'll root just fine. I finally got some planting done outside. Planted onions in a raised bed...not quite like in the garden, but it's a start.
