@@boby4751 sorry, in some videos I put the name up or have a tag. I'll do better with that. It's a Mascotte Bean, bush variety. I bought mine from Burpee Seeds but others sell them.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Thanks, but you do not need to be sorry for forgetting something.

@@boby4751 ❤️🤗

@@IAMGiftbearer It's a Rise Garden. It's a version 1. The version 2 is closest to it that you can buy now. Haven't heard great things about the new version 3.

@@GtJrGrowsItAlaska you're welcome, thanks 🤗

@@joburd_797 people do DIY with PVC. I'm just not that handy. I do like how easy this system is to clean, which I've heard it is one of the easiest. I could install one of my trellises on that back part of my garden to hook my cucumbers to. Right now I'm using the string which works. Might do that though, it's a good idea.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Pre-made trellises off amazon work great. What variety of cuke are you using? I'm gonna try out a parthenocarpic variety this coming spring since I was a complete newbie this year.

@@Shaimaa-ArtStudio Thank you! I'm glad the CalMag helped. I just cleaned my water and just remembered to put some in today! It definitely helps. Glad your gardens are taking off 😊

@@1turf32 I got them from Victory Seed Company. Definitely worth it. I'm going to grow them again for sure!

@beyourbestgardener8767 Thank you

@@boby4751 thank you for the feedback. I grow pretty much the same plants in my garden so if I didn't repeat them there wouldn't really be much to talk about. I've thought about not talking about the same plants but then I'd just not do the videos at all. Do you have a suggestion?

@@dawnsample5689 Amazon. They're called "vine clips." I'll find the link and post it when I do my modifications video 😊

Thank you!!! And thanks again for your videos! Very helpful

@@dawnsample5689 of course! Happy to help 😊

@@juliuspark8924 I don't think mine shows any sort of reminder. As for frequency. You should calibrate monthly at the most. I DO NOT do this 😅 I'll be straight up honest. I try to remember to calibrate mine but I forget a lot and the process is tedious. I will check my readings with my liquid kit. If they don't match up I calibrate. For hydroponics, an error of 0.5 is acceptable for a regular person doing this as a hobby.

@@Shaimaa-ArtStudio thank you so much!! This is so nice 😊 I definitely like the look of the system for sure! Ya I was struggling with those bottles, mostly because some days I just don't have the time/energy. GH dry isn't bad for sedimentation but it's definitely worse than the liquid. I want to see if the filter socks help. As for the pepper, I'll look into it. Few reasons the fruit might be stunted is no Cal/Mag or a low P/K. I sometimes have my jalapeno blossoms fall off and I notice it when my EC is bit low (peppers are very hungry feeders) or if I haven't put Cal/Mag in in a while. Keep me updated! 😊

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Thank you for the tip I will definitely look into the Cal/Mag levels, this is the first time I ever grow anything, I lived in city apartments all my life and still do!. those systems are great to have at least fresh herbs, parsley and cilantro from the grocery store taste like grass clipping to me LOL

@@Shaimaa-ArtStudio ya I don't measure the Cal/Mag, just general Electrical Conductivity but an EC meter is good to have. I just put some in about once a month 😊 Haha, grass clippings 🤣

@@stacijones6706 definitely using enough 😊 I check my EC regularly. It's more likely that I just wasn't mixing them correctly. I also do use the bloom for my flowering plants because I have two separate gardens.

@@kuyakuma ya!!! I'm from the Seattle area, lived there for 30 years 😊

@beyourbestgardener8767 same. More like tacoma though lol Been looking into hydroponics so glad to find your content!

@@kuyakuma oh nice! It's definitely fun with a bit of frustration thrown in 😅 glad the info is helpful! 😊

@@JamesHarris-rl5zj great advice, thanks for adding it 😊 when I'm not exhausted after a day/week of teaching I really try to do all that except I keep my pH as a whole closer to 6 to make my life a bit easier and everything does great 😊. I agree that people have a tendency to overcrowd their gardens for sure!

@@dawnsample5689 Hey! Ya I agree the sedimentation is worse but I was just not doing the liquid correctly. I just would run out of time or rush and it just wasn't working for me 😕 Mascotte beans shouldn't need to be trimmed if they're Mascotte bush beans. If they're growing past 12-14 inches, maybe too much nitrogen? I never trim mine. Glad the videos are helpful 😊

@@ianwilliams7740 I had this same problem! It was so annoying. I tested a tub of nutrients and it was really obvious. Ya my water runs almost 8 and it can happen for sure. I usually don't add any pH down until the next day.

Makes sense! Ya I haven't grown microgreens. As far as dwarf cherry tomatoes, I have that down! Red Robins are by far the best. I'm just trying to find a good mini slicer. So far I really liked the Thorburn Terracotta. I need to try it again to test flavor again. It was okay but it was slow to start because I had issues during it's initial growth.

@@My70thYear very possible. I'd get brand new seeds. Johnny's has a good germination rate.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 thanks!

@@My70thYear storing in the fridge is key. Spinach requires cold germination generally.

@@AlyciaHartmann hi! Oh it's nothing fancy. It's just those cube storage containers from Amazon 😅 people actually do 3D print nicer ones ☺️

@@marilynearl6887 nope! I just let them do their thing ☺️

@@urbanagmike thanks!! Ya I definitely use CalMag when I remember 😅

@@Shaimaa-ArtStudio aww thank you so much!!! I'm glad the videos are helpful 😊 Definitely excited to work on the yard next year! Still planning to keep going with the hydroponics. Good luck on getting it started! 😊

@@patriciabeaulieu7553 oh, those are vine clips. I just got them on Amazon. They open and close. Originally I used them for growing snap peas but now I use them for hooks for string.

@@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin thank you and welcome!! 🤗

@@My70thYear I have a Rise Garden, so they're full spectrum LED for plants.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Thank you 😊 I have an Aerogarden and starting some hydroponics in mason jars in my basement. Thanks for recommending seeds!

@@My70thYear sure! I have a new seed video. The most recent one are pretty much the seeds I've found work well for me in hydroponics. This broccoli is definitely a good one!

@@beyourbestgardener8767 is it the one that was posted 7 months ago? If so I just watched it and it helped a lot. I'm off not to see your tips for germinating spinach. I have had some luck but I'm interested in your suggestions

@@My70thYear yes, it should be the one with all the seed catalog covers. I also go over dwarf tomatoes in a separate video. Let me know how the spinach goes!!

@@patriciabeaulieu7553 thank you and I hope you enjoy the garden. Definitely keep it simple. I'm a teacher so I just do the basics and it's still great! No need for all the fancy stuff for sure ☺️ The trellis is "wire cube storage" that I bought on Amazon. If you search that on Amazon, they'll come up. They're a bit tricky to snap together but you can get around that with zip ties, which is what I used to attach them to the unit. I plan to make a video showing my modifications, so hopefully that'll help. I'll make that one this summer before school starts back up ☺️

Thanks for the info and your guidance.

@@urbanagmike I hope so to, let me know how it goes. Ya I was always so frustrated with spinach. This helps a lot. Be sure your seeds are pretty new, within a couple years is best (I still use old seeds sometimes and it's definitely not as good, especially for spinach).

@@ReginakDale thank you! I'm glad they're helpful 🤗 Let me know how it goes! Spinach is tough but this method works really well. Now if I can perfect cilantro 😅

Do you do the cold stratification with lettuce or any other seeds?

@@ReginakDale so far just spinach. Everything else I grow I just pop into the nursery. I'm still trying to get better at cilantro. It remains my one nemesis.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Your system worked wonderfully! I have 4 new little seedlings growing in the nursery. I started 6 seeds with cold stratification for 8 days and 4 of them sprouted!!!

@@dawnsample5689 hi thank you! I'm glad they've been helpful. My trellis is actually those cube storage containers from Amazon 😆 so nothing too special. I just zip tied them on. For the nutrients, I just switched to General Hydroponics Flora Series. I used their dry formula and it worked great but had so much sediment. I prefer liquid nutrients. That's what I originally used. I don't use the app. I have an EC meter to monitor nutrients ☺️ I do add new nutrients every water change. I also add them every time I add water unless my EC is too high.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 thank you so much and I apologize for the all the spelling errors above. That’s what happens when I use my microphone. lol. I look forward to more of your videos! 😊

@@dawnsample5689 of course! No problem. Let me know if you have anymore questions! ☺️

Hmm, can you describe the leaves going bad? Ironically one of the common problems with tomatoes in soil is over watering and then the stem rots at the base or you'll see the leaves curl. Yellowing leaves is a common indicator of low nitrogen.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 I took it from soil and put in hydroponic.was first brown spots on leaves then the whole stem rots…keeps throwing off new growth and when it does the rest browns n falls off

@@beyourbestgardener8767 other tomato plant I started in the hydroponic from seed is fine and has no issue

@@CindyOkike it's definitely a type of stem rot. Tomatoes can suffer from multiple kinds and it might be bacterial, which is why it's spreading to the leaves. I've never actually put a tomato from soil to hydroponics. Have you only tried this once? Might just be this one tomato. It's definitely more common to go from hydroponics to soil.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 I went to the hydroponics store and he just told me was bad magnesium deficiency so was able to recommend some products

Definitely will, thank you! 😊

I have that one too 😊 it's definitely a lot easier!! These larger 3 tiers are a lot of work if you want to maintain them properly. I've had people tell me they want one because they look so easy to maintain. They are but I wanted to show the realistic side of it and answer questions I've gotten before, especially in the Facebook group. I love my gardens but I don't like cleaning them 😅 haha.

Oh that's awesome! Ya I really enjoy starting them inside first. Really gives them a good boost. What do you normally start inside?

@@beyourbestgardener8767 honestly pretty much everything except root veggies and onions. I end up getting them out of hydroponics and into dirt under the grow lights before they go outside because our last frost date is June 1st and they get too big so fast in hydroponics. The germination rate can't be beat vs. starting in soil inside.

@@valerry22 I agree. My plants I start inside are generally 2-3x bigger. That's a good idea for those colder climates. I mostly do flowers at the moment 🌼😊 Glad you find the videos helpful!

@@beyourbestgardener8767 it allows me to scratch that garden itch sooner in the season! Lol

Thank you Skip! It's a bit empty right now but still fun to show 😊

Thanks! Ya sun gold gets huge so it definitely wouldn't work. In some of my newer videos I've tried a lot of other tomato varieties. Definitely happy with the Red Robin. Right now I'm experimenting with slicers 😊

Thank you. I'm glad it helped out. Calibrating pH meters is a bit of a pain, haha! 😅

Of course!! The Red Robins are also great. I actually like them better ☺️

What a great recommendation! I just looked it up and it is available here. I added it to my list ☺️ Thanks! 🍅

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Who sells those seeds, I would like to order some. Thanks Guy

@@potager365 it looks like True Line Seeds is one.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Thanks, love your videos

This is so kind, thank you! I started the channel because I was having a hard time finding information on hydroponics for the everyday person. I'm so glad it's helpful 😊 Let me know how your hydroponics journey goes!

I'm pretty sure I bought this one to try! ☺️ I might do beans on the bottom as an experiment for a bit and then try it.

I agree, that's why I like it too! Definitely allows more people to garden ☺️

For EC? Like to check the level of nutrients? I use a HANNA. I got it from Rise during their dry nutrient trial.

@@beyourbestgardener8767 I wonder if they still have it?

@@marilynearl6887 oh sorry I should have clarified. They sent it to me. It wasn't something they sell. I tried to find the same brand online but I can't. Most EC meters will work though. If I find it I'll definitely share the link!

Maybe once I get through these ones ☺️ The height info though is so important! I'm usually digging for that. I'll keep everyone updated on the Bing too!

Ya, I've seen it grow multiple feet tall when others have grown it but I'll still give it a go ☺️

Oh interesting. Ya I'll be trying that one but right now I'm working on the Sarandipity. The dora is just like that, most like a paste tomato than a juicy/watery tomato. It comes in red and orange. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a meaty cherry tomato :)

It's a Baby Cauliflower. I got the seeds from Rise but you can also buy them from Pinetree Garden Seeds ☺️

@@beyourbestgardener8767 Darn, I just got a big order from Pinetree including the Fioretto variety and missed the Baby variety.

@@carolinehonse35 oh darn! Ya and shipping can be a big high. I do the same thing and try to buy it all for a year.

Sure!! These are Rise Gardens ☺️ They're a bit back ordered at the moment but they're great! I love that they look like furniture and they're pretty easy to maintain.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you find them helpful ☺️

Thank you! Looks like that tomato is indeterminate. Did you grow it it's entire life cycle and it only got to 2 feet? I'll definitely check out the website too. I have a list of about 6 varieties I'm planning to try. I talk about them in my next video.

I'm very happy to find your channel. I'm also always looking for the perfect hydro tomato and love the thrill of the hunt.

@@carolinehonse35 aww thank you, that's so kind 🤗 Finding the right tomatoes is definitely a fun experiment!
