Have I ever said how awesome you folks are? Love these how to views. So much wonderful information y'all share with everyone. Wayne has this down pat! WOW look at dem maters! Your making me want to seed some up so bad! Ha Haili missed out! Come around more often woman so ya quit messing things! LMBO. Hope you folks have a great rest of the week!
Hey Wayne. I'm getting ready to make a vacuum seeder for the 276 count oasis. I make them out of scraps of metal and wood from projects here on the farm. I only have to buy a pair of $ 2.00 hinges. It will only take a few minutes extra to make two at the same time. If you want to see what it looks like, Speedy Seeder has a youtube video. The only concern wood be shipping cost around $35 from Indiana to Canada. They sell for around $1,000. It works great for pelleted seeds. I made one for my 72 count flats last year and takes about 30 seconds to seed a flat...
Thank you so much for the offer, we really do appreciate it but we already have a vacuum seeder and plates.we find it easier to seed by hand most of the time. Wayne Is the only messy one! Lol Thanks again for your generosity!
The large hanging lighting devices that appeared in the minute 9:59 What is its type and specifications and can you give me a link to it on the Internet Is this light enough for plant growth? What plants can be grown with this big light
Hey Guys, first of all I want to thank you "BIG TIME" for the information and training you guys/gals are proving to all of us that are interested in kick starting their own little backyard venture. I'm from NL, Canada and I've been following your videos for some time now and I'm finally ready to create a "mini" lettuce house that will eventually provide me with enough info/training and experience to make it somewhat profitable within a reasonable period of time. Currently I'm having a little trouble locating the oasis blocks and a few other items you're using in your lettuce house. I've managed to locate the fertilizer/calcium however the website listed in your video today unfortunately does not deal directly with the general public. At this time I was wondering if you have ever considered putting together a $500 business/training package that would include the basic training/start-up equipment/fertilizers/root conditioners etc a newbie would need to "get their feet wet" in this business - if so I'd be interested in talking to you and I'm sure this would also be of interest to others that are seriously checking out hydroponics as sideline/full-time venture. Thanks again for everything!!!
Hello from snowy Quebec - thank you for all your inspirational videos, they'd give anyone confidence in producing good crops... here I've had ongoing problems coming up with a viable nutrient solution, and I've looked at many of your videos to see if your recipe is posted... any information you can share would be appreciated! Keep up the good work! MI
Hi - nice video! A quick question - How do you manage pests in your greenhouse? I've been various greens and radishes in my basement with grow lights (super small scale) but end up with lots of gnats.
Wow! I would love to meet you both and the whole gang! We plan to start our hydroponics this year, God willing. Thank you so very much for posting this video.
@@alaefarmestatesllc Just put the first plants in the NFT system 5 days ago. So far so good. Followed Wayne's recipe for nutrients divided by 4 since the water reservoir is much smaller. Everything is green a growing :)
Hello sir; it was really informative. In my case, I want to grow Eruca sativa in hydroponics to test the micro/nanoplastics and Cd stress. Can you share some tips on how to grow it first and then move to hydroponics? thanks I am looking forward to hearing from you soon
@@Growwiththelaplantes hello thank you for responding. Im new at this but motivated to learn. Can you elaborate a bit more on the nutriet solution you use? or it would be great if you make a steo by step video
Great info guys and timing is perfect! I was wondering why my arugula wasn't doing too well that I just started and now I know! I was doing a single seed too in the Oasis. I'll try to start more this weekend and they will looks more like Waynes. Quick question though - when you move the Arugula to the finishing troughs are those holes spaced at 6-8 inches or more along the lines of 1-2 like the nursery troughs? I seem to think in an earlier video they finished with smaller spacing. Thanks for sharing!! Curt
Hi Curt, Yes, they should do much better seeding like this. You probably won't be as messy as Wayne lol. And yes, I made a mistake saying they were put into finishing troughs, they stay in the nursery troughs but were moved to finish with the other troughs. Sorry about that. Let us know how your arugula does on your next planting! Thanks for watching!
Do you mind my asking what kind of root conditioner you use? I'm a beginner and don't want to make costly mistakes. If you could suggest or just give examples of what you've purchased in the past that would help me tremendously. Thank you!!!!
Although on a different scale to me I love 💗 the way you explain what you’re doing and why: it’s something I’m going to try on a very small scale on my allotment plot brill cheers 🍻
Thanks for sharing this video. It was interesting how many seeds you placed into each cell. Do you over seed all of the other greens in your hydroponics, such as lettuce, chard, kale, basil...?
Great video! I'm having a problem with my seedlings and damping off disease. After watching your video I think my problem may be keeping them covered with the dome for way too long. When you move them under the lights what is your watering regimen? Do you want to keep the growing blocks moist? Thanks again!
Magic chanell. Please can you tell me what your rail are (the cross section is new to me)? I have been using "gutter downpipe" but this is to deep (100 x 100). Hear in North Spain things are hard to find, but we grow a lot of Rocket (Arugula).
It looks like you have two to four seedlings of arugula per net cup. Just starting to plant arugula, just wondering if it is better to plant multiple arugula in one net pot (like cilantro) than just one seedling in each. Thanks.
Amazing information. Question. 1st Q. The water from the beginning or 1st stage are top water only, without any nutrients except for the root conditioner? 2nd Q. The water from 2nd, 3rd and 4th stage are all the same nutrients? Ty!
Awesome 👍. I've got a question how do you harvest your crops? The trays are pretty long and it doesn't look like there is alot of room down the sides. I'm a new subscriber and I've not got through all your videos but I'm working on it. Wife and I are getting ready to build a 18' x 40' greenhouse. And we are planning to do hydroponics. I've contacted American Hydroponics. If all goes well in the next couple of years we are going to have about 7 acres under greenhouses. Thanks for sharing. We are here in Ohio watching your videos I'm more comfortable with going year round. Thanks again.
Hi, Welcome to our channel! Yes, the troughs are 11 feet long and placed with very little space between. We slide the troughs out and place them on harvest rack Farms which swivel out into the isle. Troughs are easy to slide and lift out. We do show thos on one of our earlier videos but not sure which one. I wish you and your wife all the best! Feel free to ask us any questions you may have. Thanks for watching! Patti
Hey guys I have been trying to grow arugula hydroponically. I also use Oasis trays to seed them and 18 days later I am transplanting them. However, the leaves are turning purple-redish and or yellowinsh. I was wondering if you have already experienced something like that? Do you know what might be causing it. I use a pH of 5.8, EC of 1.6 and water temperature at about 70F. It is my favorite leafy green and I have no idea why it is not staying green after transplant. Please help :)
It never has time to bolt as we cut it before it does, but the reason we only do 3 to 4 cuts is because it tends to get tough at the stem after awhile.
I have arugula seeds that I planted in AeroGarden and they are supposed to be peppery adult and yummy not what they call baby arugula my question is when do I remove the dome and how to keep them alive growing in water
Greetings from the western USA. (No, not that far west) Thank you for all your videos and sharing, I've been enjoying learning from so many of them. One question I have is where you sourced the white trays you use in the lettuce house under the lights. I haven't been able to find like them with the drop down for the drain. Though our place is just our backyard, one or two of those would be very useful. Have a great week!
Love all of your videos. You are the best. I do have one negative comment, I HATE your intro music it is very irritating. I always kill the volume if I catch it in time. Looking forward to ALL of your upcoming videos.
Thank you! As far as the intro music goes, it doesn't matter which music I choose, there is ALWAYS that one person to complain. All you have to do is skip it. Thanks for watching!
5 to 8 seeds per plug??? Way too many. Johnny's seeds germination rate is superior to most seed companies. If you are buying Ebay seeds, expect Ebay quality germination. You don't need 5 to 8 seeds per plug.
This is how we have always seeded arugula. We do use Johnny's seeds, Not seeds from Ebay lol. Yes, germination rate is fantastic, but this is how "we" seed it. We do 2 cuts per tray and this gives us great harvest each time.
Awesome! Inspired and informed,
Thank you 👍🏻
Have I ever said how awesome you folks are? Love these how to views. So much wonderful information y'all share with everyone. Wayne has this down pat! WOW look at dem maters!

We call Arugula, Rocket and I love it! Great to see the stages of growth. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!!
thanks for the updates. videos helps us break up the day and enjoy what other people are doing. have a good day.
Another great vid!
We just harvested arugula after a ph mishap in our greenhouse and we got 4 Lbs out of one of the troughs!
Wayne if it's messy and it grows, its a success!
Exactly!! 😁
Hello from central WV. I have been watching and learning from your video's. Great and useful info. Cant wait for spring..
I'm so happy that you are finding our videos helpful! Thanks so much for watching! 😁
awesome process guys, you've made it quick and as easy as you possible could

Is this light enough for plant growth?
What plants can be grown with this big light
Great vid, thank you guys for sharing! Greetings from Argentina! Arugula looks awesome, wondering pH and EC used?

Hi - nice video! A quick question - How do you manage pests in your greenhouse? I've been various greens and radishes in my basement with grow lights (super small scale) but end up with lots of gnats.
We would always use parasitic wasps and lady bugs. But I'm sure you don't want to use them in your house. Lol

Hello, awesome set up. Want to start growing arugula. Can you share nutriend soluction you use for the different stages. Thank you
You use straight water until germinated and 1/2 strength of e.c. at 1.2 from then till finish.

Great guidance! I am wondering, what is the period between the first and second cut? Is it a week?
Thanks ❤️
Yes, it would be approximately a week between cuts.
I see. I am planning to include arugula into my farm. Could you recommend when should I have my first cut? 5th or 6th week from seeds?
I love your videos, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing information.
Question.
1st Q. The water from the beginning or 1st stage are top water only, without any nutrients except for the root conditioner?
2nd Q. The water from 2nd, 3rd and 4th stage are all the same nutrients? Ty!
Looks great!
Thanks Jake!
Hi, how many times do you water the cubes after day 1? Thanks :)
A small funnel helps with the cubes
Do you have a link for those clear domes? All I have found is the 8" domes.
How much do you guys spend a Month in Heating with propane

Hi guys i have a question can you use root conditioner on any seed like lettuce arugula bok choy and more
Hey guys
I have been trying to grow arugula hydroponically. I also use Oasis trays to seed them and 18 days later I am transplanting them. However, the leaves are turning purple-redish and or yellowinsh. I was wondering if you have already experienced something like that? Do you know what might be causing it. I use a pH of 5.8, EC of 1.6 and water temperature at about 70F. It is my favorite leafy green and I have no idea why it is not staying green after transplant. Please help :)
What do you do with all of the used Oasis plugs? From what I’m reading they are foam and don’t break down...
great video
May I know what you call the white tray (2nd stage)?
Wondering why do you guys only get 4 cuts off arugula? Does it bolt?
I have arugula that I’ve cut over 20 times…
It never has time to bolt as we cut it before it does, but the reason we only do 3 to 4 cuts is because it tends to get tough at the stem after awhile.
great info thank you
So no need to cover the arugula from the light when sprouting?
keep your finger tips dry it helps when you are dropping the seeds in.
Very helpful video ty!
Thanks for watching!
I have arugula seeds that I planted in AeroGarden and they are supposed to be peppery adult and yummy not what they call baby arugula my question is when do I remove the dome and how to keep them alive growing
in water
Thank you for the video ! Please mind the microphone next time, sometimes its hard to hear a bit.
Why not use a small funnel drop the seeds in
We have tried that but the funnel builds static and doesn't work well. Wayne is the only one who has problems seeding arugula lol

You can speak to Rudy, and tell him Patti and Wayne sent you! He's awesome to deal with.

Why don’t you guys grow wild arugula?
I think it gives a higher yield.
