hmm sorry, I don't have a concrete answer for "How I decide". It is all trial and error. Cucumner plants started drinking lots of water once they are well established. Sometimes, I had to refill the water twice between the feeding cycles. Since the plant is living without nutrition, or living on a very low nutrition, the performace is degraded. So, I did some trial and error and found that 3-4ml of nutrition with every water refill is working out.
@@aerogardenexperiments Thanks for your videos and information here in this comment. I’m curious when you say “with every water refill” do you wait for the water to get to the alert that says “low” before adding more water and food? Or are you adding more water and food as soon as the water alert goes from “full” to “medium?” Thanks for your help!
@@aerogardenexperiments that’s great to hear 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’ve tried growing cucumbers outdoors the past few years and they all succumbed to pickle worms so I would be ecstatic if I can grow them indoors!
OK QUESTION - I too am growing a cucumber plant provided by Aero garden(AG) in one of their own grow sponge & basket. It germinated rather quickly, which was nice! The problem is even after the beautiful tendrils developed and many blooms came on, (some even with teeny cucumbers on them), & even as the plant began to grow the leaves began to turn yellowish, brown, got crusty & just died. I have been able to get at least 3 or 4 cucumbers apx 4" in length for my salad but all tendrils have fallen off. Even the main stem from bottom up to about a foot tall looks naked & shows just nub like bumps where it used to have some growth at one time... Please help me save this plant. 😢 There are more blooms coming on, which gives me hope. I'm afraid that in between feedings something else could go wrong. I even read that hydroponic cucumbers like a little more alkaline ph balance of water. Although i live in the city & keep check on my drinking water ph which is always 7.5 the water in the AG was acid! That's what I always water it with.. I added 1/8 tsp of baking soda to the water to change the ph 2 whole points. What causes this dying of the leaves & fruit so soon & is there something else I can do ?
I just discovered your channel. Amazing experiments, super detailed and helpful! Please keep up the great work!

Awesome
How did they taste!? I have cucs in my hydro unit right now, no fruit yet
They taste great. Same as the cucumbers grow in soil. In fact, more juicier, maybe because they are growing directly on water.

What light cycle did you go with?
I chose Tomato plant cycle.
