Soil growers can't handle this video! 

Growing lettuce to a war melody Lmao.

I have no clue what he is doing but it’s interesting

The part with the kid asking questions and your response was adorable

*intense music* "This has a lot of peat moss" *intense music continues*

I believe the correct title is: _This One Weird Trick Has Soil Growers Furious!_

I am strictly a soil grower. Seeing this video made my internals implode. I will ascend in the after life and be strictly a hydroponics grower. Your knowledge has blessed me, Wise Jeb.

"The virgin soil grower VS the chad hydroponics master"

You can dip newspaper in ranch dressing and it will taste good.

I was sad about not being able to watch Dexter cuz it ended ages ago but you've replaced him very nicely

3:42 Isnt it crazy how people first start out even smaller than a seed to becoming a 100+ pound multicellular conscious organism.

It's funny because I don't even garden in real life. I just generally enjoy watching your videos! Jeb, you're awesome!

Now I want to grow something

I'm glad I found your channel, I have all this gardening gear used for magical plants, but since I don't smoke magic anymore it's just sitting there. Your channel inspired me to do some legal grows, thank you.

This is the kinda RU-vid recommendation I’ve been looking forward to!

No we cannot handle it because it's miracle grow soil . Joking bro

Nice video Jeb. I planted 3 garlic cloves in February just to be a rebel. One is still alive and I have medium hopes for it.

this channel is what youtube should be like along with its great music

Definition of Soil: The top layer of the surface of the Earth in which plants grow. Soil is composed primarily of disintegrated rock particles from the Earth's crust. Soil particles are classified by their diameter. Clay particles are less than 0.002 millimeters, silt is 0.002-0.05 millimeters, and sand is 0.05-2.0 millimeters in diameter. It takes 100-500 years to produce an inch of soil from rock of the Earth. A healthy garden soil should be more than 40% silt with good aeration, water retention, and 1-5% organic matter (humus and living organisms). Peat moss is found in bogs and is an ingredient added to potting mixes. It isn't soil.

I love the humor of the soil lettuce of "these ones are doing better" and then BOOM!!! Hydroponic lettuce!!!

For a fast harvesting veggie like lettuce, spinach hydroponic is the best option. But other than that, soil growing is still win. Have you tried growing pepper, tomato, cucumber, melon, watermelon in hydroponic? They eat hell alot of water/ hydro nutrition and become 10 times expensive than growing in soil. I do both hydro & soil growing.

YEAH THE MUSIC IS BACK

If a tree grew hydroponic Style, I would want to see the roots Edit: nice hair cut!!!!

Our Lord and Saviour has praised us with more epic content

I love the moments when he explains things to his son there so wholesome this guy's a good father 😁👍

Beautiful video. I am planting my seeds in our balcony, not having a backyard in these years, and I was a little sad that my geraniums dried out during the winter, all dead, first time that that happens to me. I watched your video with so much joy, for different reasons. I love both gardening and music, you have got a taste to match the beauty of art and nature!. I also remembered my precious brothers, they are gardeners, builders, they are strong, even rude sometimes, but their souls are beautiful, and my soul loves them very much. I have worked with them and I thought that I was watching their hands, strong to manage the tools, and delicate to handle the tiny plants. You see, your video impacted everyone in different ways. Thanks.

Honestly so glad I stumbled upon your channel one day in the past. I sure am glad I subbed.

Jeb will take some lettuce, and he will grow it!

youtube recommended this so now i'm watching a dude grow his soil at 3am

To be honest I know nothing about plants, this guy can just make anything entertaining

Dramatic music+your sense of humor=funniest thing I’ve seen today. Simple math

I love when people use there time to be productive and you used your time to make some that you can be occupied on have fun and have a little snack after you effort keep up the great work love u man 🌿🌱🌾♥️♥️ Edit: *realizing that I did not make this on the latest video oof* *feelsbadman*

This video triggered me, all the way to my soil bound roots.

Surely that's as much as a poor setup vs good setup? You let the soil dry out, what chance did it have?

*Soil growers hate him, learn to grow HUGE lettuce in only one week!!!*

Me: yeah this video was kinda interesting Soil growers: I can't handle this video

They grew like Shit because you have minimal fungal and nematode activity and probably little to no protozoa and arthropods. A bucket full of natural forest topsoil in each container would have made them keep up with the hydroponic plants.

I don't think you watered the plants in the soil at all. Hydroponics is a better medium, but I don't think you know how to grow with soil

His excitement level is through the roof

WHEN I WAS 15, MY MOM & I WENT TO SEE MY SISTER PERFORM IN A COLLEGE MUSICAL SHE WAS IN... IT WAS CALLED ""CARMINA BURANA"" 'TIS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC FOR THIS VIDEO. I RECOGNIZED IT IMMEDIATELY - IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING CONCERTS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO AS FAR AS SYMPHONIC MUSIC!!! I LOVE YOUR IDEA FOR YOUR COMPOST BINS ~ THANKS!

I love this guys videos. No idea if they're any good for learning planting and growing techniques but his Bob Ross style monotones with his music selections is superb!

Jeb, you are a film master.

I wonder how pot would work out with your methods What do you think O genius one?

Lettuce thank the kratky gods for the bountiful harvest.

If you aerate your totes you can fill the solution to the point where most of the net pot is submerged. The Japanese say that if it's safe for the bugs it's also safe for you. Perfect produce comes from using poisons for the bugs, which are also poisons for you.

i ve made an aquaponic system in my backyard, and my wife was surprised by the velocity the lettuce grew over two weeks. my fish tank is clean now, with all the filtering by the roots and bacteria.

Thank god for the volume control

Our Green Thumbed God has returned to us All Hail Jeb

...now I want lettuce

Please make a beginners guide on how to do hydroponic farming and what mixture for optimal growth

I'm loving how clear and vocal this version of O Fortuna is.

devils lettuce

This is bad comparison.. You're using like 50% peat moss 😆

Eu encontrei o melhor canal do youtube de todos os tempos!!! (Translated: I found the best RU-vid Channel ever!!!)

Who knew that the gardening community could get so worked up? Literally just found the channel 2 days ago and after reading the comments it seems like everyone is very serious about the skill, which i can understand

When I really need to have a smile and a feel good moment, I play Any of Jeb Gardner's videos. Yes, even the re-runs.

It kind of looks like you’re adding cocain to the plants!😂🤣

Please more Videos. I like your Videos. Greetings fom Germany

The ones in soil aren't getting as much light from the sides of the bucket.

The understated narration and music definitely makes this informative video way more entertaining!

This dudes channel is awesome . I grew up on a property with display gardens and nurserys . I wish this music played full time while i worked there . I would of felt like a god

Aside from the fact that hydroponics do nothing to improve the soil of the Earth, and in several ways are more damaging to the environment. There's a reason it can't be certified organic here in the US. Soil>hydroponics

This video just shows how much you can't grow in soil because you aren't a gardener... Agricultural production of green lattuce and a lot other fresh products in the field takes from 30 to 45 days... how come that you didn't manage to grow anything edible into 2 months from soil? Summer season it's only 3 months and on this earth there are lots of places where it's the only growing season available for feeding on greens... Hydroponic it's good only if want to grow on concrete... put your head into soil and figure it out by learning something...

I love your videos. You make a hard thing look easy! My strawberry in hydroponic blew off in the wind :(

You were right! Soil growers soiled themselves after this video judging by the comments. As an outsider looking in with no desire to garden, after reading the comments I would do Hydrophonics mostly due to simplicity for the same results. A lot of these people get up in arms about not adding the proper nutrients and fungi to the soil solution. This is precisely why Hydrophonics seems like the clear cut winner. You dont need to add all this extra crap to make it work the same as a non soil plant.

i have no idea what’s happening but i like it

Great music and video. Wick would have done better with larger net cup or multiple ones was my thoughts.

You are getting lots of comments and views which boosts your channel, but sadly you are providing misinformation. It is a fun, dramatized video but not an accurate comparison. The huge difference in growth and relatively total failure of soil grown lettuce show that the earth boxes were obviously not constructed properly. I was actually quite interested in the idea but disappointed. The cross pipes with holes in them for air aren't really necessary and would have also acted as an overflow in the water chamber if the water levels were ever that high. It would also serve to dry out the soil at the bottom of the container thus blocking the wicking properties. Perhaps your wicking cup was not deep enough to be in constant contact with the water. And I would have added 2 or 3 wicking cups for a container that size. You may have been better off just hand watering regularly in a regular pot. Further more young seedlings - even in an earthbox - need to be top watered until their roots have a chance to grow deeper. Plants at that stage are sensitive to moisture levels. A mulch on the soil would have acted in the same manner as the lid on the hydroponics container protecting from evaporation. Also the soil must be fed nutrients in some manner, just as nutrients are added to water in a hydroponic system - especially if so much peat moss is used. (For that matter should not the same nutrients have been added in equal proportion to both mediums?) Did you use potting soil or garden soil? Containers plants don't do well with heavy ground soil. It compacts too much for plant roots to grow. And the only thing peat moss does is improve water retention - if it's mixed properly. This is why peat preserves and mummifies things - because there is no organic life in it to break organic matter down. I'm not cutting down hydroponics but I watched your video hoping for a fair assessment. You can claim that soil growers have and issue over this video but your methodology skewed the results.

Awesome! Can you do one on growing the Devils weed hydro? With the same. Music, of course...

The music you used made this video hilarious, but I also really enjoyed watching the experiments and growing process. Thanks!

Why are so many people angry over this? It's just sad to see a nice video like this be ruined by people disliking and ranting in the comments. Never knew gardeners could be so salty

Did you add nutrients to the Hydroponics?

Ohhhh hes back baby

I think this vid is funny and educational. Definitely proves Hydroponics is superior, especially for a novice grower. I will be converting to Hydroponics simply because it's overall a cleaner operation and gives the grower more control. That being said: As a soil grower, growing Connecticut Pumpkin & Watermelon, I use a 50 gal. drum to "Compost". All non animal kitchen scraps go in. Takes me a little less than a year to fill. I take all that rich black goo, mix it with 4:1 ratio of potting soil & steer manure, add a full bottle of Fish Emulsion, mix throughly. Then I pick a spot in the yard, excavate a 4'x4' hole about 2.5' deep. In goes all my homemade soil and the seeds. From there it's lots of water & sunshine. I always have great results, but I also put a year's worth of work into manufacturing nutrient rich soil. Now, back to: I'm switching to Hydroponics.

I'm probably the only viewer here under the age of 35, but man I love the scores to your videos.

lettuce see the growth

hot damn those hydro lettuce are great looking guuuuhhhhraet

WOW! The hydro-grown just blows the soil-grown away.

my father had a scooter accident in 2012 and was very bad off expecting to die at any moment but he got out to the other side of that save and sound! he had never heard orfs Carmina Burana in his life nor did he ever want to but in his medical coma, he heard and as he said an awful choir! all day every day just terrible it would drone on forever! some years went and gone my dad is A-ok! and my love for classical music brought me to orf's Carmina Burana my dad said 'that's the sh#t I heard droning on forever! when in the hospital! so my love for Carl Orff is my dad's nightmare fuel!

If you make your own kombucha (fermented sweet tea), for every batch you create a new scoby. Those are "symbiotic cultures of bacteria and yeast". One use of the extras is to mash them up with something like an immersion blender, and add to garden soil. The beneficial bacteria seem to enable the plants to absorb nutrients more efficiently. I added some to just a pot of zinnias, and they absolutely exploded with blooming. Even my neighbor commented on them. Kombucha is easy to make with about 1 gallon of mostly organic black tea, and about 1 cup of organic cane sugar or another type of organic sweetener. You steep the tea and dissolve the sweetener, then cool to about 84 degrees, and add about 3/4 bottle of GT's original or 1 bottle. Keep at about 84, and in about 5-7 days, you will have kombucha and a new baby scoby. You can make a new batch with the same tea blend, the new scoby and about 1 cup of the new batch. Kombucha is great for you, too.

Hi there, I just want to do a quick reminder for humanity then we all sleep less stupid at night. 1. In the soil only you have 25 % of Bio diverstity on earth, this bio diversity feed propably an other 25 % of it, in a pot or in a box, there is not much alive inside, wich explain why jeb's plants grow slow asf. 2. Have you ever wonder where are all this nutrients you need to buy come from ? Have you ever heard of Phosporus exploitations wich is not infinite and extremely bad for environment but crucial for modern agriculture and making the nutrients jeb is using ? 3. Soil is free, sun is free, if you take a bit of time to learn how the soil is working with all the micros, you lay have heard about permaculture ? the production is quite similar. Conclusion: Hydro is great, i mean for growing quick food in cities, especially in winter, but please, be aware that Humans needs bio diversity to survive, bio does not need humans, we all know that we already lost so much bio diversity the last 50 years, if everyone think that hydro and aqua is important to expand he is wrong, when you grow in hydro, you don't feed anything else than humans, it's all about profit business and selfishness, When you grow naturaly without any processed product, you expand biodiversity, you purifying the air, you feed insects, birds, you are not polluting, you eat food full of diverse micro nutrients. Sorry for my english, I am French.

Jebbbb your back!!!

That music tho 😏

Try adding an aquarium air stone to the hydro tank and it'll speed up the process by spattering the roots to encourage growth.

Man I just love your videos my friend. Please never stop making them.

Hell yeah

Cool ! Cool ! MegaCool !!! Yummy ) Great music as always

You could grow better lettuce in my driveway than in that "soil" system. Video would be better as a how to for crafting a hydro system than this poor comparison

I'm doing outdoor hydroponic this year for my first time. I'm planning to do 70% hydroponic of my chili plants. I am excited and can not wait until spring 🥰

what a great dad - teaching his boy and expanding that brain

Somehow at 48 days of soil plants and someone can't tell there is a serious problem with THERE growing technique. Silly at best, pre-meditated for what click bait?

I keep waiting on Damien the omen to jump out or r kelly or such like..

Ouch! Why the Creepy annoying Music. Hurt my soul.. couldn't watch.. 🙄

Get a bottle of eco NEEM oil, mix up as per instructions on the bottle and spray on the hydro lettuce. It'll stop the bugs from eating it and it'll still be organic. Just stop spraying it 5 days b4 you pick and eat it. I love this stuff. Great vid by the way. I wouldn't mind trying hydro, as I'm traditionally a soil grower.

Soil grower here I'll let y'all know. Fist of all, horrible choice for a base soil, no grower worth his weight uses MG when there's better out there for cheaper, shit I bet the dirt in your backyard would be better than that at least it might have some life in it, also you cant expect a micro nutrient like silica to be a determining factor in plant growth in soil when completely disregarding any other nutrient, like I know you could do better and I'm not upset, its just kind of a shit experiment, also Water retention could've been fixed my adding coco coir by knowing that the extra exposure to the hot air underneath would cause root damage and reduce plant growth without a stable supply of water, I honestly feel bad for them leafy bois

Couldn't finish the video ... found your choice of audio very irritating. If you make anymore videos with this same format, please mark them so I can avoid wasting time clicking on it.

Great info, but the soundtrack...too much, too long, too loud and very distracting to the point of being hard to watch. Cut volume by 60%, a Content-friendly gain set and atch your likes and subscriptions increase

🤘

Excellent choice of music, sir. Impressed with the hydroponic lettuce. Much better than my soil attempts!

Dramatic music for a hydroponic system setup how does this man not have 1million subscribers😂
