For Best Results: Make your own soilless Potting Mix
In this video I explain how to make your own potting mix for soilless hydroponics. As far as soilless way is concerned one should always choose an inert and disease free potting medium for plant growth.
The following characteristics of the medium make it easily cusomizable for different types of plants.
1. Air porosity
2. Water holding/retention capacity
3. Ideal (ph and salt content)
4. Cation exchange capacity
In this video, we will see how to create your own potting mix using the following ingredients
1. Cococoir (base)
2. Perlite ( to increase air porosity /decreasing water holding capacity)
3. Vermiculite (to increase water holding capacity/reduce air porosity)
Using the right ratio of cocopeat, perlite and vermiculite, we can play around with different mix combinations required.
If you liked this video and want to be part of my detailed training, please let me know in the comments.

How to raise pH in Hydroponics - Avoid this mistake
Переглядів 15 тис.2 роки тому
pH adjustment in Hydroponics is a daily activity done. Be it a small hydroponics garden or a large commercial farm, pH correction happens. It is mostly pH down that is used, as the plants consume more nitrates during their growth phase. At times, pH correction may result in an overshoot that leaves the pH levels in the nutrient reservoir lower than expected value. This is not always good. pH lo...

Sir when to harvest cherry tomato in hydroponic medium. Should we wait for the full cluster to get red. My cherry tomato weight is 9-11 gms only. 3-4 turned red of the cluster.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 //////////////
Sir what can I do if pH of cocopeat is around 7.4 how to reach this upto 6
Nice informative video thank u
Can you add nutrients during the growth stages to adjust ppm??
Please make a video of adjustments while running the system...or when to change the solution...
Thanks for teaching me in english and genuine videos
Hi. In India, which company seeds do you suggest for cherry tomatoes
can i use cocopeat instead soil to plant the chilli seeds
Will you ever do another online workshop cause I’m interested
I loved ur explanation tq great work
Thanks for the gyan daan. God Bless you. Can you suggest a good supplier of Cocopeat bricks 5kg/low EC for exports.
Can I please get your contact details
I dont know man. I've seen indeterminate top themselves like that. Even on determinates I agree it happens more... but then you get a suck and it continues on. One of my indeterminate had its entire head ripped off by a deer, decapitated. It just sat there for 30 days in shock, leaves got curly. Eventually it sprouted 2 suckers from the middle of the two top most leaves, showing cells thst form suckers are everywhere, stem cells. A few weeks later, like 30 suckers exploded from two 2 arm pits... the plant is freaking out at this point, lol. Also of note, I grew 30 indeterminate and 30 determinate romas... my romas are insanely huge and just keep growing. Like everything is getting to be about 12 feet.
My point is, plants are adaptable... and indeterminate, determinate, early, late, etc... much of this is unfortunately likely marketing terms except under the most ideal of conditions.
"Not a place to show your strength"! I am your new subscriber and believe i will learn a lot here
Thank you great explanation
how frequently the water need to be changed
Did you soak the seeds before germination ?
Tell the contents used that is most important u missed that
You sir just got a new subscriber!! Just don't call me cause I'll immediately hang up 🤣
where can i get dese ph up and down solution
From where we can get buffer solution?
Finally now I know thanks
Is there a way to tell before the branch gets full grown?
Good and nice video❤ so ican begin my hydroponics 😊
Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I’m Struggling with my Queen Elizabeth and Camelot. I will try this 🩷
You are most welcome. Do comment back if you were able to figure it out. Happy gardening
A great video with a lot of knowledge. Appreciate it mainly as I do Home Gardening
Still doesn't easily identify the difference. That determinate tip you pointed out looks like a leaf node and you didn't even show the tip of an indeterminate. You pointed the camera below it. And both varieties will have flowers that come off the side of the stems. I'm not sure how this actually helped anyone.
Yeah, I was thinking we are only able to find out when it is already too late with determinate ones.😂 I have messed up the labels and have some Roma in the mix and now I've lost patience and rough pruned all the suckers at 2 feet and put them to root just in case. They all have started rooting, so I can hopefully start new plants of determinate ones that aren't skeletons 😂. Dear me I am so co fused. I had flowers left right and centre 😂 and definitely around the top because that is where the plant grows, logically. I have a mix of Romas, San marzanos, Big Tom F1s, Thessalonikis, Costoluto Fiorentinos, and a cherry type god knows. 27 plants and counting, thanks to me being unsure. 😂
Thanks for such a simple explanation. I have grown them for years and always thought it was difficult to find out until it stopped growing vertically, but I have never actively looked at the growing tip. The only confusion are the ones called 'semi determinate' like one I am growing now called Cornue des Andes, an Italian type. This puts out loads of side growth like determinates but still retains a growing tip, but the habit is much weaker than a true indeterminate and it runs out of steam at about two metres.
Sir, how do you get those pelletted seeds?
Sir can i use ph pepar strip to major ph.... Alternative to ph meter please🙏
If you are unable to get the nutrient mixture what are the measurements for using other NPK fertilizer
I bought a pack of tomato seeds that was a mix of a couple or more varieties. After taking them home to start my seedlings, I realized it said on the back that some were determinate and some were indeterminate (and I realize now I should have figured that out beforehand but I think I grabbed them in a rush). So when I realized I had both kinds in the same pack I realized I had an issue: how the heck am I supposed to tell which is which? It’s obviously important to know because it totally changes the layout of the garden, knowing whether they need a trellis and how tall they will likely get. Now here I am trying to figure that out. Is there any way I can figure it out in the early stages of growth? My tomato plants are 6-12 inches tall roughly, and have to go in the ground may 30th because that’s the planting date but also is when my schedule is free for me to plant them.
Concise n clear information on the application of this meter. Very good job, thank you.
Tks Good Knowledge imparting
Hello sir plz share your number plz I am at zambia lusaka
I need to know det/indet types in order to pot them in the right-sized pot. So, ind ends in a leaf, but det ends in a flower, which is a dead end for its growth. Is that right? I think you have just saved some of my seedlings from an early death. Many thanks!!
Yes. You are right. Glad to know this saved few plants. Happy gardening
Bravo. My hubby told me the difference is in the height. He is the gardener in the family but I am taking more of an interest now that I'm in my 70's years young. Thanks. I won't tell him how you explained this so clearly with a video. Now I won't feel like such a dummy.
Excellent explaination... Thanks👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
What size container do you recommend for cherry tomato?
For cherry tomatoes, when grown using hydroponic fertilizer (fed daily), you need 3-4 gallon/10 litres of growing medium. With non daily feeding you need 6gal/20liter medium. Container shape/depth doesn't matter
Is it possible to tell the difference when they're seedlings?
No. It's not possible to tell. Some varieties have different leaf shape/ traits. Those can be identified from true leaves but your still won't be able to tell if it's determinate or indeterminate
