A beginner-friendly introduction to grow media for hydroponics.

  1. Its simply poor presentation technique to speak as fast as you do. Viewers have no time to think about the significance of what you are saying. Frankly I felt like I was entitled to a headache after I watched a few minutes then switched off.

  2. Nothing against the video. I’d be willing to bet though that I’m not the only one that would appreciate a little table that quickly compares each media you’re talking about. Even if it’s only up for a few seconds and we can pause to read the data.

  3. i understand english but im not native english . You’re talking to fast, you’re rotating images to fast, if someone wants to learn something from this video , will have a hard time following you. I wonnt subscribe to you ,youre not good for gardening . Sorry to say but i gave you a dislike. Im interested in gardening to learn new stuff not to hear you talking fast like a machine .
    Learn how to attract worldwide audience then you’re good to make tutorials or guides specially about gardening and specially for beginners.
    Gardening is not for superficial guys.

  4. Ha! Looking through the comments and many people saying they didn’t like the talking speed. I wonder if my brain is wired in a higher gear because I didn’t even notice that you were talking fast… I thought it was just fine.

  5. Very helpful and informative video. So for clarification YouTube university student, please advise

    The thicker mediums or something with root moisture protection is ideal and likely good for stability and root protection if using kratky method, but a medium is hardly necessary at all if using well regulated aeration methods with water that is full. Is that correct?

  6. I love how you just say the stuff. Some other videos would take 15 to 30 minutes to convey the same thing, and I would have to fast forward half of the stuff to save time. Thanks!

  7. I enjoy the speed of the information but you didn’t really say ANYTHING. Relay your personal experience and get on with it. People looking at these videos want someone to make a darn decision for them not make the decision more convoluted!

  8. hahaha! This guy is sayin as if one does not use Motherearth products they will fail for sure in growing plants by hydroponics…

  9. Actually really liked how the video was presented – quick and to the point, exactly what you want when you’re trying to get info. Subbed. Trying to create an aeroponic system – any tips?

  10. A Question Sir! So if my water is properly aerated, then this mediums are not very important (I’m not talking about growing something exotic like succulents, just ordinary stuff like lettuce, parsley & blueberries) thanks in advance.
    P.S. Got Subscribed.

  11. I ran across ☝🏻 of im your videos very informative. Much appreciated. All your hard work love your videos, perfect speed of talking no bullshitting keep it up man. Thanks.
