    Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much by listening to you. One thing that I do differently than you, is I use Aluminum foil to wrap around my bottles. That way I can peel back and see the water level.

  • @danmeyers555
    @danmeyers555 2 роки тому +14

    I use soda pop cans. A simple can opener will take the top off and a 2-inch net cup fits like a glove. I know you will not be able to see the water level without taking up the net cup, but this configuration keeps out the light much better than using a plastic water bottle, keeping algae at bay. Easier to construct too. I think it is an indoor solution only as outside use would be subject to the weather. I'd love to hear your comments, Khang, maybe even see an experiment. Have a happy!

    I am starting hydroponics for the very first time. I followed your instructions. Does the plant stay in the same bottle for its entire lifetime; does the water and fertilizer have to be changed? does the stalk get bigger and do the clay balls have to be removed once the stalk gets bigger? won't the stalk get chocked? I am very excited to see how this cucumber plant does vs those in the soil. Anxious to hear your answers. Thanks

      I have been studying this. I have started some Tiny Tim cherry tomatoes. When they flower, since I am growing them indoors and I do not have bees inside my house I was worried about this. From what I have read, I need to get small artist style paintbrushes and tickle the flowers to get pollination. Tiny Tim cherry tomato plants are small and compact so they are not going to get really big.

    I have a habanero I did this with back at the beginning of this year just straight tap water and it's still alive, I fill it back up with water rarely because it lasts so long.. It's a great way to get seedlings started with good roots but once it gets 6" it doesn't want to grow anymore. It puts out new leaves and drops the old ones but nothing more. Doesn't branch out, just stays as a stem basically. Can't wait to see if it'll produce better this coming year when I plant it vs my seed to ground habanero I did this year.

    why do you place the seedling into the rock wool? Could you just use an insert instead of using the fiber-based rock wool? Also, when you pour the nutrient solution on top of the leaves, does the solution cause the leaves to burn under the grow light?
