See 👀 organic hydroponic this is important bone heads we need healthy hydro options blessed ✨
Love from India 💖🌸
Hi love your setups. I just started growing hydro. I started withthe net cups and clay. Then i tried using pool noodles which to me i like better. I started my seedligs on the clay balls but i didnt like because they just went everywhere. I see where u use dirt and just wash roots. Havent tried that. I now am doing experiment starting seedlings on cotton balls. Squash cucumber lettuce cabbage did fine but was not successful with pea seed. To wet i think got mushy. The pepper seed has not done anything. Anyways just sharing different ideas. Thx for sharing.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
I found with the rubber made containers they can be flimsy under the weight of pots and plants after you drill holes. What i used to do to counter that issue is get the ones with seals around the lid that lock tight. I would cut a piece of lexan or acrylic sheet to fit on top of the rim of the lid, which leaves a gap between the lid and lexan sheet. To counter that gap, id run double sided tape around the rim of lid and Id spray a bit of great stuff pond and stone on the lid, clamp the lexan down to the lid putting pressure on double sided tape. The foam expands but really slowly so you drill small releif holes where your big holes will be on the lexan. Some foam will come out of it, its ok. After 24 hours you have a rigid, insulated, waterproof top. Then drill your 3 inch or whatever size holes through the lexan, foam, and lid. It wont buckle or collapse that way. It works best if you do it with the lid on and locked onto the base. Its almost like putting a 3/4 inch piece of plywood on top but waterproof
Thank you for your share. I really like your set up. Simple, easy, and no really expensive items.
This is the first time seeing someone making their own hydroponics fertilizer using vermicompost tea instead of synthetic fertilizer. I’d love to see a comparison of the two side by side. Well done!
Privilege to watch you’re video, it was informative while illustrated well with demonstration edited displayed with the commentary was very creative and again informative. Ty Sir 😎🤙
As something to start seeds in try cotton balls they are cheap and work great!
Do your compost worms need to be kept at a certain temperature? I live in Canada, and I wonder if i could keep the worms in the garage or shed over Winter, or if this would kill them…Please let me know.
Thanks 🙏🥰. Im planning to move out of Fl to a zone 7 and your videos helps me a lot with my garden once I moves 🙏🙏
hi can share your type of grow light
You made this very easy to understand and follow, thank you
This is the future
What grow lights are you using in this video? Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge.
Thank you for such a great video. What size is your grow tent?
Hello, thank you for sharing ! Would it be possible to have the dimensions of your bins ? Thank you so much.
(what I think to take as bins are L60 cm x l 40 cm x h 23 cm)
What are your views on adding live fish to the tanks for fertilizer?!..
Hello I am new to the Hydroponics thing but would love to try this and be able to grow my own food year round but I have some concerns about growing food inside of plastic containers , totes etc. no one really talks about the plastic and chemicals that the plastic may put off and the plant root absorbing harmful chemicals through the roots that the plastic maybe giving off what are your concerns if any about this ?
Great and simple video brother
So much work
Hello, I just have a question about your seaweed amount you said to use. You said 6 ounces per gallon of water? That’s a LOT of dry seaweed considering it doesn’t weigh much at all. for a 5 gallon bucket you’re suggesting 2 pounds of dry seaweed, though in the video, it’s CLEARLY not 2 pounds you put in there.. are you sure it isn’t 6 GRAMS of dry kelp per gallon? Thanks in advance.
Hello, thank you for the excellent video. But I have a question: Do you put an oxygen pump inside a container for making compost tea? Or do you not put an oxygen pump just the ingredients and water and leave it for 24 hours and use it? Ok, I took enough of it from the rest of the compost tea. Does it remain in the same container in which it was made until the time for use comes and add it to the hydroponic plant? . I have another question: How much do you add again to the hydroponic system of compost tea? Is it the same amount that is estimated from tea to 5 amounts of water? Is it possible to grow using the Karakti system without an oxygen pump for the plant, and will it grow and bear fruit? Thank you very much and I hope you can answer every question🥰🌹
Hey! Could please make a video showing how you dose your systems using the natural fertilizer? Also show the pH and EC levels you normally shot for? Thank you
Great job – clearly explained your entire process. Thanks!
SWEET ❤

I just picked up a Rise Garden, cant wait to get started with hydroponic gardening!
Say, do you change the water in you hydroponics.
I’m using the kratky method and honestly i added just enough nutrients so the water is still relatively clear as Im afraid it would cause bad bacteria to fester. Am I starving my plants??
what is the lux value of the light
If you do hydrophonic gardening, you don’t need a sunlight? Thanks for the response
Maravilhoso seu usar apenas o humos de ninho serve ?
Excellent information 🤓 Thanks for sharing!
I just ordered everything I need to make a system like this! The only question I have is how high should the water level be? I am wanting to get a floating valve so it automatically keeps the water level, but I don’t know how high to place it. Any advice @Planted in the Garden?
what kind of lights are those?
Hey mate, I have a very large worm farm and produces many litres of worm juice every day which leaks out the bottom into a bucket. Can you recommend an amount that I might add to my 5 gallon bucket?
What light are you using ? And what strength are you using it on ?🙂
Nice video. I’ve just started looking into hydroponics inside. It looked like you walked into a grow tent. Can you tell us about the tent?
And I agree with @steviedunkley8160, I’d like to see more about your vermicompost set up.
I love gardening, just happen to come across your YouTube and I learn so much about hydroponics. I have to try this . Thank you so much for sharing. You are awesome explaining how do it. God bless.
Wow I love that you make your own nutrient for your plants 🪴, I never see more beautiful plants or seedlings than yours in the you tube channels 👍👍👍👍👍amazing
Tuyệt vời
When using a hole saw, run the drill in reverse it’ll still cut but won’t split plastics
Some really great and useful information here! Thanks for the details, looking at building a couple of these this week
Are these plastic totes safe to grow food on?
I need to know more about lights, you haven’t mentioned details and a link
I’m big on repurposing things & growin & Makin things myself so this’s great!!
I saw you are using grow tent. Do I really need it to set up hydroponics. I’m just concerned with aphids. Thanks
Good morning everyone God bless you always 💖🙏
Sorry if this is an often asked question, but does it work out cheaper for you to grow like rather than buying from a supermarket?
There is beauty garden veggies.
