- I was going to call this one how to grow hydroponic potatoes but I think the process still needs a little work. The pattern of growth was pretty impressive though!
Grow details
Red Norland Potatoes were grown from Home Depot seed potatoes in a Kratky Method Hydroponics setup.
27 Gallon tote from Costco
1/2 inch PVC frame to support Agribon summer fabric
3 inch net cups
I made homemade rock wool croutons by cutting up 1.5 inch Grodan rock wool starter plugs
Plants grew in about 5 hours direct sunlight with afternoon shade February 4th - April 9th
Southern California USDA hardiness zone 10a
Temperatures were mild 60s to high 70s during day, mid 40s or higher at night
Nutrient Recipe - for each gallon water
2g MasterBlend Tomato 4-18-38
2g Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0
1g Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)
Tubers couldn't form properly because they were crammed up in the net cup. Tubers did form on some stems that escaped the cup but those were undersized and suffered from blossom end rot due to weak transpiration. If the potato can be suspended deeper in the container without a restrictive net cup, I think they could grow quite well.
Music is excerpts of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring (yes, some of it is... performed by me)
Artwork is The Potato Harvest by Jean-François Millet, 1855 (Walters Art Museum) and The Potato Eaters by Van Gogh, 1885 (Van Gogh Museum)

your editing and narration is just so awesome lol
Thanks!
yeah I'm only 2 min in, this is hilarious/classic, haha, I love the music
after the guests came I had to favorite this shit this is glorious
nice bug sound effects
SOO FUNNY!
You are a little crazy Jeb! But that is why we love you!
Yeah I just watched the video to check for issues and realized it looks like a total crazy person made it.
Lorenzo Armas we all are crazy in so many ways. Love your video, bro. ;-)
Lorenzo Armas the best people are
Yeah
Rite of Spring! For those who didn't catch the "this music is a riot" reference- Stravinsky's Rite of Spring caused a riot at its premiere performance.
Nice tuba!
The music didn't cause the riot, it was the dancing that accompanied it.
Informative!
Interesting!
Glad to know it wasn't the only one who caught that haha
Started watching the salad one now I'm binge watching his vid
And still wtf
You're in for a treat!
Redbone ive been watching his videos non stop for 2 hours or so.... Its midnight and I need to work tomorrow..... Why cant I stop watching Jeb.... WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Same, Lol. This is great
me too
Not many people today will recognize Van Gogh's painting of "The Potato Eaters". Very fitting for the end of your Hydro-Nightmare of Ugly Potatoes. Great and interesting Vid, Jeff.
Yeah I just saw it on Wikipedia and thought it was fitting. I think the people in the painting are simple and wholesome, much like the potato I seek.
Luckily some of your viewers are Dutch and do know the painting. You are not wrong (simpler times), though I think you need to be Irish to really appreciate a potato!
Love your experimental spirit and your courage to also show your failures.
This challenge is not the boss of you!
Best channel on UA-cam?!
Thanks!
honestly this is my second video I've watches of his and I'm still in the wtf stage

2017 a Gardening Odyssey.
I love 2001. My rat video has music that was used in it!
Jeb Gardener yey i like that too
But your rat video made me sad. We have three amazing rat pets here that get free roam around the house.
Jeb... All I can say is, that was interesting... Cheers :)
Yeah I might have pushed the envelope a little too hard on this one. Fun though!
LMAO
Are all UA-cam gardeners friends? Lol good to see you here Marky mark.
@@JebGardener your video gave me an idea. What if you used a cheap dollar tree laundry basket as the “net cup” and put it down into something taller, like a rain barrel? You could use pine straw on top in place of clay pebbles? Think it would work?
Edit: I just watched your video with the flowers in the trash can. That can looked big enough for the laundry basket to sit in. It could be an idea for another of your interesting videos. 👍
You're a genius, total brilliance in editing, I don't think you know just what you have here, more than just UA-cam videos, its all up to you.
As a classical musician who enjoys gardening, I cannot adequately express how much I love your videos
That’s great Jessica
I Bulk order the mesh onion bags used for retailing onions and use those to grow potatoes inside my aquaculture setup. The roots reach down into the water but the bags support the weight of the potatoes. You can start out in a net cup but will need to take scissors and cut away the lower half of the cup when the taters start forming so they can dropdown. Your bags can be "stiched" to the net cup with reusable zip ties. If you can come up with a way to attach just the onion bags thru the hole to the top of your float that would be better and not waste a net cup. I'm still experimenting with that. I'm only having good luck with Kennebeck taters. They are about fist-sized on average and about 2 per plant with a lot of little half-dollar sized ones.
Try Yukon gold. Kratky had luck with those!
on a scale of 1 to high, how 10 are you?
I dunno,I feel,pretty good right now.

He probably grows his own hemp w/o soil too
OMG!!!! That one is so good...Thats the first I've heard that one.
no you are wrong its "High how are you?"
Awesome! maybe next time try using a net as bag instead of a plastic cup. That way you can untie the bag to make more space in it...
That could work. I would need a cheap and effective way to suspend it though.
look at NEOPRENE like from an ez cloner.
Jeb Gardener zip ties?
Honestly one of my new favorite channels!
Thanks for not lying!
this really is my fav channel to watch while stoned. educational and that dry fucking humor man i love it
You are so funny. I love your videos!
What do mean? This is serious business! j/k
Funny how?
Dear Jeb,
I just wanted to tell you that your combination of awesome gardening, editing, music and commentary is just delightful!
Thanks, Russ.
This is exactly how I immagined to grow hydroponic potato, and I know why it would be wrong. This is the great thing of sharing ideas. Not only the good ones, because failures are essential in the learning curve. Thank you indeed.
Imagine being incredibly baked watching this video. Mind Blown.
*ROFL*
Well done.
Maybe support the seed potato by placing toothpicks in it so it doesn't fall through the hole. No net pot. No grow medium. Or maybe thin strips of foam as grow medium until the roots get down into the water.
firecloud77- Yeah, kinda like the ol' avocado trick, but maybe using chopsicks in place of toothpicks to help ofset the eventual weight issue. Of course it doesn't solve the problem of how to lower it into the water later, but then again it may not need to if its unconstricted by a net cup. What do ya think, Jeb?
For my second try I considered sticks but it would be a hassle because I need to drop the potato deeper in the container so they can spread out and not go green from sunlight.
You could try grape bags or screen door mesh that can expand as the tubers grow
NEOPRENE like from an EZ cloner. they have larger ones at my grow store. easy cheap done.
Great Video. I was thinking maybe cut the sides off of the net pot around week 5-8; so it is just supported at two points, like a hammock, allowing the taters to fall out of the sides.
My guess is that the potatoes were placed a bit too high up and should have been sitting on the base of the net cup, maybe surrounded by medium (bigger cup?). There is a video - just a compliation of photos of root systems of hydroponically grown potatoes - which you might be able to glean something from. Some of the photos show the underside of the growing "container" - it actually looks like the plant just pokes through some thick polystyrene. There are only a couple at the beginning of the video, then you can jump to about 2:00 to see the other root systems. ua-cam.com/video/PLICoXlV8yk/v-deo.html
This is the most entertaining video about veggietals ever
I think this is so amazing!!! I can’t wait to see how you perfect it!
Cool video, love the Van Gough at the end, it just makes the point.
Thanks! The two paintings happen to be the two shared on Wikipedia. Coincidence?
"Nothing taste better than a potatoe.... When you're hungry". -Jeb.
Those words are spot on, just ask the French.
He's videos are like watching a suspend movie about potatoes!! Love this guy
THIS IS THE BEST NARRATIVE OF ANYTHING EVER!!
thank you
You are very welcome!!
"Let's think cheap,.. easy,.. and scalable." - Jeb Gardner great quote. This is why i love "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." - Albert Einstein
thank you
omg this vocal rite part is amazing
Interesting! Ive been thinking about this for a while.... Nice to see your results, thanks for sharing
Another AMAZING work of art! and that sound track!! I bow to you master non-soil gardener
Love your Personality and the interesting way you choose to garden. Nice to think about when the soil becomes radioactive, how you gonna get your greens!? Hydroponic, that's how. Everything you would need at your local Post-Apocalypse Walmart, you might have to kill for the bottle waters though. Not too many geniuses going for the seeds and tubaware.
Jeb your a mad man!
You had me at the Stravinsky. What a riot!
Your kid is really cute. You are the master of gardening, and I bet he will grow up to be the next generation of mad scientists.
I Love Jeb! He's Helped Me Alot With Hydroponics And Gave Me A Few Laughs!
Ahhhhh...
yeah Man Thanks! I Grow Hydroponic Peppers Start I Tomorrow!
Is this pure genius, or pure insanity? The lines are so masterfully blurred
I don't know why this appeared in my recommended, but I am very glad it did. Great video, pleasure to watch!
You are a category on your own... you are the artist of tomorrow... the best video I have ever seen about growing plants... far beyond...
Did you ever figure this out? I tried growing them in pool noodles in a milk crate suspended above the water medium. I cut the pool noodles into roughly 4 inch sections and dumped them in a milk crate. I burried two seed potatoes in that. Then I suspended the whole milk crate full of noodles and potatoes over a large storage bin. blocked off light at the sides of the bin and added an air stone and pump for good measure. They grew crazy on top, and they got roots but never produced potatoes. So I'm not sure if it was my nutrients. I used Master Blend.
You're a mad man Jeb! Your experiments of growing plants without soil will doom us all!
By the way love the channel might try this Kratky method myself. Keep it up!
I can totally see a reoccurring theme with his garden videos haha.
Awww! I love your Weiner Dogs! I have one of my own. Love them.
What about trying to grow the plant till its mid or early stage of growth, then transfer them into a bigger box such as the one in the video without the netting thing? XD Just an idea - My family and I have started trying out hydroponic planting this year and haven't tried potatoes yet
Don't you harvest your potatoes too early? you can harvest when your plant is dead.
Your potatoes will be bigger.
Yeah I was cutting this grow short. My second try might come in before the heat ends it.
You can tell Jeb is having fun in his videos its good! :D
I lost my shit at "this music is a riot"
😂😂yer killin me!
did anyone else notice the two dachshunds omg
My (sniff) my friends (sniff sniff )
Waaaaaaahhhhhhh They didn't make it Continues to cry
They made it, they are just messed up
Bob the Potato NO BOB, YOU WILL SURVIVE. MEOW
Music selection is priceless, well done
Looking foward to your next crazy experiment, mad scientist!!
Thank you
You should give potato seeds a try instead of seed potatoes
Perhaps cut the cups at the bottom(making sure no sharp bits), so the potatoes can push out when they get big enough. And push the branch tips out the lid, to bring more sunlight energy down to the potatoes in the middle.
I'm doing a grow with thin rope now . The stems found their way through the hole without a problem. Sunlight on the tubers is bad mojo though.
if you cut out the bottom everything in the cup will fall through.
look at NEOPRENE from an ez cloner. will work perfect.
Not the entire bottom, just enough that it would spring out under pressure.
I used to hate rockwool have worked in construction. This made me love it haha. Good video and very cool channel overall
You are by far the best narrator I've ever heard. Just watching your videos and hearing you makes me want to grow stuff. lol
Thank you.
you should used neopreme collars( i totally misspelled it but watever) insted of the net pot
I know what neoprene is, but i actually don't know what a neoprene collar is. Is it flexible with slots for roots?
Jeb Gardener it holds plants in place for hydroponics

Jeb, I've seen a lot of videos where they just use the net pot (cutting off most of the net and these collars to suspend the stem... especially with cloning where you have a good cutting to start with.

rapid rooter plugs basically
Do not let your baby carrots watch this.
The captions are great! Thanks for putting in the time and writing them.
You're welcome. I've gotten pretty quick at it captioning. If I do it right after I finish editing, I practically have the lines memorized. It's kinda weird, I make up the lines as I go along. Then I end up memorizing them from running through all the edits.
Just you're knowledge and jokes about Rite of Spring have earned a whole new level of admiration and respect. I loved the "riot" line; keep being great!
Thanks!
Can you repurpose all of that potato root? They would have to be nutrient rich, right?
Totally went in the compost bin.
Best way to solve any possible copy write strike.
Busted!!!
Rite of Spring! yes! beautiful production!
Watching your channel has inspired me to start my own hydroponic farm! Keep up the amazing work!
Let us know how it goes!
Instead of a cup maybe try an expandable mesh bag.
I grew a few dwc plants and found squishy foam at my local hydro store.. Cut rings and slice the edge so you can slip the stem in. This almost needs a container in between the tub and the plant that the tubers can spread out into
"This music is a riot." Ha, I get it.
Yeah couldn't resist.
Bro you got me into gardening in literally 2 videos. Subbed.
Good stuff man,thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Song at 4:00, who's the artist? :D
2:35 is better
I'm Scared. For the Potato.
This channel is wild. The narration brought me to tears. OF LAUGHTER?
I love your videos and will try to pursue the possibilities your magical wizardry offers. I am not afraid to go in a clinch with the laws of nature by growing hydroponics
The music :D Jesus christ
MY NAMEA JEB
Loved it! The music is a refreshing departure from the tired old tracks most people are using now days. Great job!
thank long john
jeb, i dont garden and never thought gardening would be fun, you sir have changed my mind, from watching your videos it makes me want to try some of the stuff out and try to garden, your like my bill nye getting me into science and stuff, well gardening haha
Awesome!
Meh names jeff
no
lol
Blasphemy !
Against the soil? or Stravinsky?
Gisapaz. Lusamud.
the music is epic. i love it!
I'm so glad I medicated before watching this.
Me: MOM!!! THIS GUY JUST MADE POTATOES IN WATER !!!!!!
Mom: (ﾉ*ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ oh dear glob..... he knows HE KNOWS!!!!!!
Both: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
* running out of the house *
Dad: oh god.... come back he's just a UA-camr
Love S. you.....tuber.....potato
haha i love these vids

It is incredible your character I really liked your story and your edition in video and mainly about the sound
It's nice to watch your videos
Thanks
I didn't know a video about potatoes could be so intense, and epic, good work
Lots of nice seed potatoes!
Interim ting video style I defenately love it great worl. I've now subscribed

Thank you for this video! I love your v/o and music and i always learn something new while watching your videos
Thanks Valerie! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
i love your videos they're so entertaining i've been watching them for like an hour lol
That's great. Hope you had fun.
Jeb Gardener I definitely did!
This man deserves his subscribers. He's entertaining because he actually provides something that nobody else does.. Good editing and comedy on a gardening video. Not like that crappy comedy on a gaming video where they trick shot like every 10 year old kid.
Thank you. Yeah it's hard to fake things when you're gardening.
I love your videos.... funny and informative
Thanks!
Awesome video
Jeb, you are fantastic! Thanks for your time to do experiance like thet and you have some potatoes to eat. Good or less good results, I like your videos a lot.
find "dangerous plant grows without soil"
Just wonderful work sir!!
Thank you
You got me hooked at "This music is a riot" sir dude!
Music nerd!!!
Flawless theme music application. Definitely subbed.
I cant believe im subbing to this. Your narration is gold.
Great idea!
Great sense of humor. Great music.
Thanks shakil
You use great pieces in you videos
This belongs in a museum, i think you can grow a few there.
