Great Video 👍👍
I am a commercial garlic grower and love the idea of having multiple harvests per year rather than one.
Will definitely do a small experiment to try it out and will go full scale if successfull
Thanks for the video
Greetings from Kuwait
i want advise from you
@@transafricaenterprises-wes5207
Sure
will post my results either way
How did it go? Did you have results like this?
@@transafricaenterprises-wes5207 Unfortunately it did not work as expected
I had nice green growth but no bulb

There must be other factors like temp, sun exposure..etc that control bulb growth
cut roots off at end of pot then no trouble with roots when taking out of pot
A big hearty well done, I love your explanation, you have made it so simple for me. Now I understand this way of growing well
Enjoying this channel and learning a lot about hydroponics
Super cool, thanks!
Very useful and helpful content
Awesome work! Thank you for sharing
You're welcome! Happy to share🌱🙂
Thanks so much for showing how to use a more soil-like base for the plant as well as the nutrient solution. I seem to struggle with other medium. (Yes, I may be a spazz.). This seems to keep the plant happy by mimicking it’s natural way to grow and solves the problem of watering, nutrients AND having an option to grow inside during winter months. Thank you SO MUCH for demonstrating exactly what I was trying to work out in my head.
Nice grow👌 I’ve been curious about this, thanks 🍺🍺
Thank you!🌱🙂
Please correct me if I am wrong. Theoretically, if you chill the cloves and plant them in the hydroponic setup, you could repeat this, say every month, and keep harvesting every 100 days or so! Incredible!
well done - will try it out on day!
I love your vídeos! Salute from Brazil!
Nice video. Where do you get the styrofoam boxes?
This is so awesome! I'm doing this!!
Thanks Mike!🌱🙂
The new logo looks great 👍
i am binge watching all your videos! i hope my plants grow like yours ❤
Thank you.
I wanted to see the results of the garlic in the pool noodle it seems less messy and easier to clean.
Great video ❤. Btw what type of medium are you using? Coco coir and perlite?
I use a lot of garlic for cooking, so I'm going to try this method. I already have the Kratky grow tanks where I grow vegs. inside during the winter months. I'm curious when you placed your grow tank outside? Did you put the tank outside under the sun immediately after you planted the cloves in their cups, or did you wait until they sprouted green tops ?
This is an awesome job 👏 🙌 👌 I will be doing this. But I will succession plant the garlic for a continous harvest. Since growing hydroponically is faster you/we can be harvesting every 100 days into the summer if you start in October through August you can at least harvest garlic four (4 ) times!!! With this hydroponic growing method!!! Excellent job love ❤ your chanel 😊
Excellent video. Can you post a link to a video about making those containers and what supplies are needed? Rubber maid type containers are expensive. I have started 3 firehouse 5 gal containers with collards and cabbage. Also what are those pots called and where did you get them? Net pots can be expensive. As a senior on a strict budget I need to keep my growing attempt supplies at around $10 a project. My friend gave me some nutrient she mixed.
If by 'splitting' you mean that there are multiple stalks from one planted clove, you may have experienced witches broom. It's caused by temperature fluctuations and too high nitrogen levels.
Thank you for sharing this helpful information! Yes, they split into multiple stalks with their own individual bulbs.🌱☺
It’s interesting that it only happened to a few since every plant had virtually identical grow conditions.
Actually, without using your method, garlic takes NINETY (90) DAYS to grow to maturity, so you just cut that time IN HALF! Color me IMPRESSED!
Watch again.
They were grown in *100 days* and not 45.😊
In korea garlic takes 6 months due to weather. If grow time can be cut down to 100 days, man that would be an amazing achievement. But you would need to grow indoor with Full spectrum leds
What time of year did you place these grow tanks with garlic cups outside in the sun ? i noticed that you showed different grow cups in the video segments. What size grow cups were you using ?
I sure liked to know this can be done with garlic. I don't know if I will do it though. I can get 5 bulbs for a dollar so it doesn't really seem worthwhile. But I did see you do this with beets. I will definately try that!
lovely
Lovely
Great job! I never expected garlic to grow well hydroponically but you have done it!
Some soft-neck garlic plants will split when it has been in the ground too long. The individual cloves mature and then start growing. I have also seen it when the bulbs are growing in rocky soil - I think there is pressure on the growing head of garlic so the cloves don’t get big. They split instead. Maybe try a slightly larger individual pot?
Thank you so much Daisy!💜 I really appreciate you sharing this great information. Will consider using the larger cup. 🌱🙂
@@healinghobbies I'm also wondering of the pearlite is triggering the split. I've always been told to use peat moss or alternative for root vegetables since it makes the soil lighter and easier to move aside.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kjthat makes sense to me. The perlite is barely compressible so it’s acting like rocks in the cup.
Does shallot, onion, scallion, chives also split or divide like garlic? When planted with just 1 bulb
Yeah, I've had some green onions in the same 20g container for 3 years and it splits twice a year. I bring it in during the winter and stick it under a 4 foot t8 fixture that I swapped to LED bulbs.
Hello, do have any idea of ppm/tds of your water with the npk, epsom, ang calcium nitrate.thank you.
how much ppm set in neutrant solution for garlic growing?
Could this be done with hydroton and maybe some type of rockwool instead of perlite and coir mix?
What soil are you using, and what are you mixing in that soil?
Does your container hold only 5 gallons so you only mix 1:1:.5 once? Did you merely fill with plain water to get to the base of cup? Or did you mix more to keep the strength up?
@healinghobbies:
Would *garlic* be *possible* also like what you did with the *onion* - experimenting with just pure *"pool noodle"* only??? 🤔 . . . ☝🏽 ✅️ 🤷🏻♂️
So it looks like it was softneck garlic. Did you get any scapes (blooms)? After you dried and cured the garlic, how were the cloves? Large? Multiple layers or just one? I am very curious because i am a hydroponic backyard grower. I use dutch bucket method. I also grow a LOT of garlic and onions in a soil garden. I have grown zucchini, and summer squash in hydroponic dutch buckets. I need to add another dimension to my hydroponic garden. Kratky may be it.
So nice you got there mam, what kind of soil did u put in the pot? i would like to try this method also
50-50 mix of cocopeat and perlite🌱😊
What an educational video. Thank you. Where do you find the styrofoam containers?
You're welcome! Happy to share. It's a DIY grow box made out of foamboard from home depot.🌱🙂
@@healinghobbies Awesome, Thank you!
2023-09-15 Day 12 of my own hydroponic garlic experiment. Damned things are already >25cm from clove apex to shoot tip.
This exactly the type of set-up I have started experimenting with... A hybrid hydroponics/potting system for garlic and other "root" veg. I knew it could be done. The information I was needing was time for each stage. Hard to know what to expect when, when everyone else is either growing in soil (either pots or outside) or strictly hydroponics and harvesting the greens as they might with spring garlic, not looking for bulbs. Thank you. Nice job!!
if left in the ground too long, the bulbs can split, which also reduces their storage potential.
How do you calibrate ph? Not all vegetables and fruit rely on the same ph. For example blueberries need more acidic ph than basil.
Can you make this video saveable to my playlist? thank you
Thank you! Love your videos! Great information. Working on many projects for fall
way to go.
Waaaw😮
The back of my bag of Masterblend says 2tsp for five gallons. You use much more. Is there a reason?
Nice video. Thank you.
I just have a question. When you introduce the plastic cups in the nutrient. The video says "the water level should be at least 1 cm of the bottom of the netcup." That means at least 1 cm above the bottom of the netcup, right?
Yes that is correct, the idea is to keep the growing medium moist but not soaking wet until the roots develops then as they grow and when refill it needed keep at least 1 inch gap between the root base and the nutrient solution.🌱🙂
This is really good! What did you do when it rained? The rain usually floods the container and waters down the nutrients.
Thank you! I have a raise bed cover and use it to shelter them when it rain🌱🙂
@@healinghobbies That is great. I love this video and you have encouraged me to try doing this!
I saw 2 different trays/containers in this video. started with brown containers in the beginning then white Styrofoam cups then back to the brown containers. are you joking or are there 2 different sets of garlic?
Thanks for this. maybe we can grow roots by soaking the bulbs in water instead of placing them in the refrigerator/chiller, what do you think?
It must be tricked into 'thinking' that winter has happened, just part of the process.
In previous videos I saw Calcium nitrate had to be mixed separately but I didn't see it in this one, can you clarify? Thanks!
This is another way/option to mix it, as long as each of them is diluted one at a time and it has to be fully dissolved before diluting/adding each one, to prevent nutrient locked out. I hope this helps!🌱🙂
Hi, just a quick question. When the container is outside In the sun, then rain falls, what is the best course of action for the water filling up?
Same question 🙋♀️
Poke a small side hole at the max water level you want it to stay
hi thanks for your response, but won't that weaken the solution over time?@@unmeaninglessly143
@@unmeaninglessly143 But the rain will dilute the solution if it goes into the bucket.
@@nona104 TDS meter readings before and after rainfall will help you re-adjust the concentration back where garlic likes best.
Question: I would like to start an indoor hydroponic garden. If I'm using grow lights indoors, I was wondering if I could use the clear, shallow under bed storage containers so I could more closely watch the root growth and the nutrient level. Is there any reason I couldn't, or wouldn't want to use those, other than cost?
The only problem with that is that light exposure to the nutrient solution will encourage algae growth. Very simple to just lift the pot occasionally to check the roots.
You need to install an elbow at the bottom of the container, then put a piece of clear tube on the elbow. Then you can look at the tube and it tells you the water level. Just cover the tube with black plastic or cloth or something so that light doesn't hit the water, then just slide the cover off to see the water level.
I believe some spilt because there were two (2) cloves that were stuck together as one but when planted grew separately.
Great harvest, appreciate your experimentation with this and other root crops. Would be interesti g touseyour poolnoodle option on the garlic not sureif more xpace would allow bigger bulbs or if its variety linked. Love your content.
I grew beets but never got a beet. I finally harvested the leaves and made a side dish with them.
What type of nutrient solution do you use? I use the same ratio for all the root vegetable experiments. Masterblend 1 heaping tbsp, Calcium Nitrate 1 heaping tbsp, Epsom Salt 1/2 heaping tbsp. in 5 gallons of water. So far all with great results🌱😊
@@healinghobbies I use the same Masterblend. I measure by weight.
@@healinghobbiesI have masterblend and never knew what formula to use for roots; do you grow all roots in 50-50 coco peat and it works ? I just planted my beets too; I’ve seen people grow them hydroponically but it’s much more intricate;
Also, I noticed you didn’t use the standard net cups; I have those same cups you used (from the dollar store), and had no idea that they could work as net cups……. as well as styrofoam too……..
Are the white containers fish boxes or something else? Seems to be a good option.
It's a DIY grow box made of foamboard, inspired from tuna/fish boxes. If you have tuna or grape boxes that would be a great option. This boxes provide a good insulation to keep the nutrient cool.🌱🙂
Awesome grow! With the vernalization in the fridge, can you potentially grow the garlic anytime during spring, summer, and fall then? As long as there adequate sunshine for 100 days? Curious what season and temps your garlic was grown in for the 100 days. Thanks.
I'm glad you ask that question. I can relate to your curiosity as ask myself the same about this.😀 I was so happy with the result of this first experiment. With much excitement, I started to vernalize some cloves in the fridge in attempt for another experiment and grow in summer to fall. I know garlic benefits growing in cool weather but sometimes we have just to try and see how it will turn out. So, yes some set cloves are almost 3 weeks now in the fridge and I plan to sow them 1st of July. The first experiment was sown end of Feb (end winter to Spring) the temps here fluctuates from 55-80F and in Summer it get to 100-110F. We don't have a long cold winter.🌱🙂
@@healinghobbiesvery interesting, have you done a video about this yet?
can you grow garlic just in water and no soil please and how as in what other media can you use?
Yes, there was no soil use in this experiment. The growing media was made of 50-50 mix of cocopeat & perlite.🌱🙂
It would be better if you change the solution water instead add more solution water, because if you only add solution water, you will get lower nutrient's ppm every time, and it affecting the growth. That's why the leaves turning brown and dry at early age. Garlic is a heavy feeder crop, so they need constant uptake.
My simple method to know when to change the solution is using TDS Meter, if your growing solution 1/2 of the initial ppm, it's time to change it. If your initial ppm 1000, change it when it get to 500.
Also, use that masterblend in generative stage (>50 days), for vegetative stage (0-50 days) use a blend that has 3-1-4 NPK ratio.
Has anybody done this under grow lights
Is there any need to change water periodically??
Just keep topping it off, ensuring a small gap below the bottom of the pots.
Can I use clay pebbles for the medium for garlic?
I haven't tried it but that would be an interesting experiment using clay pebbles.🙂🌱
Also what size cups are the beets and radishes in?
They are 3” seedling cup/pots
Some people change the water what about changing water
Please, can I drop my contact, i want to go into this kind of farming and i need someone to properly guide me
Thanks and Nice Video! Really helpful!
I thought garlic takes 6 to 9 months of growing before harvest.
Can you confirm 100 days? How mature the bulbs are in 100 days?
I'm also growing garlic but in seedling bags and same, my first time.
Reminds me of my late dad's. He is been doing these techniques about 30 yrs ago. But He is already gone with the LORD.

A very large head of garlic.
I wish it was possible to give more than one thumbs down.
