I've stopped by your channel several times for soil grows. I decided to look into DWC for super hots, yet again, I find myself at your channel takings notes. Thank you for creating this content, it is very helpful.
literally that is me, hydro just seems so much cleaner and less hassle (or maybe different set of hassles lol). Is DWC the best method for hot peppers? Have you tried anything yet?
@@HugeBig I have tried it, no gnats!! The only issue I've had was timing when to put the rock wool in the medium, other than that, I would recommend. A little bit more maintenance, but not bad.
@@jackcederberg9018 that's awesome thank you!! I have a question sorry if this is silly, one thing I haven't been able to find info on, can you keep pepper plants long term using DWC method? Like once they get more than 2ft high or whatever can they stay supported so they don't fall over, is it difficult to "transplant" to larger water containers, etc? Every hydro article/video shows pretty small plants, I haven't seen any info on large plants grown with this method
Beautiful, I will be turning my garage into a hydroponic growing station and also for starting a lot of my plants going into our food forest. I have learned so much from this channel, thank you for providing awesome content.
Best video I've watched re gardening. And I've watched dozens! Awesome job, sir. Will be attempting to duplicate your success this winter in Tennessee with a new passive solar greenhouse I'm building. Am looking forward to a fun winter. Thanks again.
I love the chocolate sprinkles variety, I'm growing some this year. but I find they aren't really heavy producers, but the taste is better than any tomato I've ever had.
11:00 24 days I think it doubled in size , I think you need to check what doubling means , that's at least quadruple or more . Amazing growth for just over 3 weeks .
khang, i am huge fan of your channel. very informational, and very well narrated. have you done any updates of fruit trees using the kratky or areoponics
Hi Khang, I really love your videos and your dedication to producing high quality videos for your viewers. I have a few questions: 1) which nutrients would you recommend for growing lettuce? I know in past videos you have used Masterblend, General Hydroponics Flora Series, and the DynaGro, but I wanted to know which one would be best for lettuce 2)Do you recommend DWC or Kratky Method for lettuce? 3) Which pH meter do you use? 4) How do you avoid root diseases when growing in Kratky Method? 5) If using DWC, and the water level drops, should I refill with same strength nutrients, or just plain water or another concentration? I know these are a lot of questions to answer, but I would really appreciate it if you could kindly reply to me. I am a huge fan of your channel. Keep making great videos, and I hope to hear back from you soon! Thanks, Raghu
I grow sweet tomatoes and salad type tomatoes. I let them fully ripen before taking them off. But for some reason they are either too sweet or else slightly bitter
hello Khang Starr, i am a big fan of your channel. I watched your hydroponic cup lettuce growing video and other hydroponic pepper growing videos. i start going lettuce in cups with miracle-gro general purpose fertilizer and a bit of jacob's fertilizer for fun,. but after harvested and i ate the lettuce, i started to vomiting very bad and sick half an hour after, i believe i got fertilize poison and almost went to hospital for that. so my question is; are the fertilize water growing method safe? I cannot explain why i got poison so bad because of the fertilizer water that I used? But I see you grow your lettuce and peppers in the hydroponic method, and one of the video you actually use the miracle-gro fertilizer for hydroponic as well and you are doing fine. and i believed you also eat your harvest fruits as well. and many other pepper growers eat the fruit as well. so why is that happened to me? right now i am really confuse whether to keep using commercial fertilizer any more. thanks
Hi great videos! I had a question about adding nutrients to seedlings. What i've read is that you should add nutrients after the first set of true leaves have formed. Do you agree with that or do you think adding after the embryonic leaves are fully formed is sufficient? Also do you recommend diluting your nutrient solution when the plant is young?
I am struggling with my bell peppers in my DWC setup. Hoping your process helps get mine growing better. I recently ordered the GH flora 3 part nutrients on Amazon. My peppers are having very dark leaves but seem to have stopped growing after moving from my Idoo system to my DWC setup. I was using Superthrive as my nutrients. Maybe that was not a good choice.
Sounds like you're bombing them with Nitrogen. I would try half- strength Lucas feeding schedule with about 0.1-0.2 EC of additional calmag. Adjust to PH 5.8-6.2.
I noticed on your kraky method you used general hydroponic nutrients and with this you used dyna grow. Do you suggest one over the other or did you do different kinds because of different methods?
Love your videos. I am just setting up my garden. Where do I get the the exact disk that you used to accept a 2" net pot? Silly question but getting the sizes right is step one :)
I'm still struggling with my DWC bell peppers. Got leaf curl and flower drop with not a single fruit development. Please adise me on what I can do. Thanks.
I would use Master Blend tomato formula it works great for most everything. www.masterblend.com/ that is the company but for small purchases just search for them on amazon
@@Krullerized Just make sure you are getting all 3 parts. the master blend bag, the nitrate and then epsom salt. I just order the Masterblend and the nitrate and then buy the epsom salts locally. Just make sure the epsom salts is unscented. The stuff is awesome and works great for anything. Also when mixing mix the masterblend first shaking well, then the epsom salt, then the nitrate so they mix well. Take care
If caterpillars are eating your tomatoes you can try something called Bacillus thuringiensis...sold as BT. It’s very effective, chemical free...biocontrol, safe for mammals. And of course there is also neem oil that can be used in conjunction.
How do you manage heat in your tent as mine seems to be over heating water becomes hot and it's stressing me out have a 600w hps light and a fan for cooling but it still seems to over heat
so sad, Ive tried multiple times to grow peppers, and all of them get aphids..................what ec, temp, and ph do you grow them with....................
Why get rid of the tomato plant cook'em bag them freeze them and what I do when I get so many I give them to my family my son likes spicy so I do him tomatoes and jalapenos and my mom don't like spicy so I just do her regular tomatoes
Is a 2" net cup big enough for mature hot pepper plants? I see some lids with a 6" net cup built-in that fit 5 gallon buckets. Starting with Cayenne and Lemon Drop peppers.
Have you ever had kratky method peppers growing that grew very slowly and had super small leaves? I'm thinking maybe they need more light? (the LED light is about 2 to 3 feet above it which is high to accommodate other plants and no reflective material.
Ok i have a question? If im doing indoor growing do i need all that hydroponic grow stuff or can I just use Mirical grow I'm a new starter I'm growing chillies I started off with Thai Chili's I ordered some ghost peppers and some Carolina Reapers but I'm starting them from seed and I'm new at this can you please help.
ceaserelizondo all you need is a nutrient solution, (search “bottle hydroponics”) but study’s have showed that oxengenating the water significantly increases plant growth, on top of that many plants require high oxygen. Simply put just get a tub with a hole for your plants roots to dip into the nutrient solution and a pump, this can come from a fish tank, just make sure it can handle it, this is a basic DWC hydroponics. But if I was u I would look into other hydroponic methods.
@@austinwourms7386 yes i am im just starting off slow but eventually going to do bigger stuff and better because im going ti have expensive plants or chili's
You are still using Dynagrow I see. I still have the bottle I brought last year that it got to late to return. I can't seem to understand after reading the warning about cancer on the bottle you still are using it for growing food products. The reason I grow my own veggies is because I don't want chemicals in my vegetables.
Did I miss something... why are you talking and pruning tomatoes for almost five minutes? Are you making a hybrid with peppers and tomatoes? I'm confused...
What a ridiculous waste of time and energy using a growlight for growing a tomatoplant just to kill it right when it's about to produce lots of fruits. I really like your videos but i honestly dislike this behavior. I mean, you could just give tomatoes to your friends or neighbours or put a box with free tomatoes infront of your house if you happen to have too many tomatoes.
very very very cringy. that was the most beautiful tomato plant and it was blooming it was fruiting and it gets cut down and thrown in compost. Very sad. thanks for sharing though its an awesome video but god I dont know if I can forgive
