Hydroponic Farm April 2022 

Hey Leigh. Aka bumpkin. Lol When are you going to drive the 20 minutes to come see it live? Chuck and Darlene

Hey Randy. How are you doing my friend? Sure hope you are mending well? This farm has exceeded all my dreams. Hard work paying off for sure. Give Renee a hug for us! Chuck and Darlene

Thanks Ed. It certainly is. I know you understand. Chuck

Great to hear from you Nigel. Hope all is well with you and your family my friend. All the best! Chuck and Darlene

Thank you Anne. Wish I had the time to do more of these! Chuck and Darlene

Thanks. Things are definitely changing around here. Growing exponentially! Take care Brian. It’s been a while so if I got the name wrong I apologize! Lol Chuck

Thanks. I’m really impressed with these strawberries. I’m charging 2 dollars more for a pint than other vendors and I sell out and they take lots of theirs back home. Thanks for the help

Thanks Connie Chuck

Thanks Wayne. Love seeing your comments! Tell Diane hi for us too! Chuck and Darlene

@@FensterfarmGreenhouse that 55 degrees, is that Celsius or is it Fahrenheit? If Celsius, do you have a sauna? If it’s Fahrenheit, it’s by insulation and the lack of something else, which I will not say. By the way, what is brand of strawberries you have? They look Awesome.

@@waynestamand2738 It’s Fahrenheit. Lol Those Are Albion and Tri-Star strawberries.

Yes. We got 45 pounds of strawberries on Friday and we might have twice that much this week. Chuck

I have greenhouses from Atlas, Scenic Acres, AG int’l. The largest is from Scenic Acres

@@FensterfarmGreenhouse can we talk on the phone for some advice and guidance that I need?

Thank you!

Thank you. I will have to check out your channel. Chuck and Darlene

The downspouts are the way to go. I have no complaints with them whatsoever. Chuck

Thank you Sir.

@@FensterfarmGreenhouse I use the 2x3 downspouts with 2" holes every 8", if I use off the shelf 2" net cups, they are just above the NFT flow. Any tips?

A lot of your lettuces will not do well at those temps if they are sustained for more that an hour or so. I use an evaporative cooling system that I call a water wall. Its kind of like a really big radiator. I have a construction video somewhere a few years ago. Hope it helps? Chuck and Darlene

i built the NFT systems from scratch. The racks for the micro greens came from Costco and tables under the propagation system came from Sams Club. The white troughs for the propagation system came from American Hydroponics. Hope that helps? Chuck

@@FensterfarmGreenhouse thank you for your information Chuck, happy growing

Thank you. That was the idea when we built them at that height. Our backs aren't getting any younger so I try to save them at every turn. Chuck and Darlene

It is coming true. More than even I imagined. I could probably retire but I really enjoy what I do for FedEx as well and I'm really good at it. Timing is everything! Thanks for hanging with me all of these years Dave! Chuck and Darlene
