Flood Hit My Greenhouse – Here’s the Damage

This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Homegrown Passion”. 

Last night we almost lost the entire greenhouse.

After a massive flood hit the farm, muddy river water flooded into the greenhouse, contaminated the hydroponic nutrient tank, and shut down the entire hydroponic system. With the pump underwater and the system offline, I had no choice but to hand water every NFT channel just to keep the plants alive.

In this video, I take you through the full greenhouse flood cleanup — removing mud, draining over 1,000 gallons of contaminated water, cleaning and sanitizing the nutrient tank, and trying to repair the hydroponic pump before it’s too late.

If you’ve ever dealt with greenhouse problems, hydroponic system failure, or farm flooding, you know how fast things can go wrong.

🌱 What you’ll see in this video:
• Greenhouse flood damage and emergency response
• Hydroponic system shutdown and recovery
• Nutrient tank contamination and cleaning
• Pump inspection, repair, and troubleshooting
• Hand watering NFT hydroponic channels to save plants
• Real farm life — the challenges no one talks about

This is real hydroponic farming — not the perfect version, but what it actually takes to keep things alive when everything goes wrong.
