Setting up a new indoor hydroponic grow rack. Started with some microgreens, bean sprouts and pea shoots. 6 days in and already harvesting, replanting and keeping the cycle going over and over again. Message me if you want more info on the adapter and microgreen sample.

I would love to buy your bottle stabilisers in the UK, but as far as I can see, they are not available here
I am looking for people that would like to print them around the world.
@@KeepOnGrowin I can do that in India. Please share some details of how to collab..

Let me know if you start in case others ask for them in your area.
Great stuff again Mike!!! Even though I have been doing the micros for a couple years now, I still learn things watching you. I still have the dollar tree containers from way back and the sand was very intersting. 🙂 I also picked up the deeper trays for the peas specifically to keep the seeds dry and prevent mold. That was a great tip from your video a few days back.
Awesome man! Let’s chat sometime.
You have helped me so much! Thank you for the time and effort you put into teaching us so many ways to be successful.
Were you ever in orchestra at school? Violin, viola, or cello?
Not in school, I did try the violin once.
Thanks Mike.
Love your energy! Keep experimenting with new ideas, yes!
Thank you Dan!
What a great idea 🇳🇿❤️
any pet store has (hydroton) clay pellets aka lizard bedding neutral ph etc same stuff
Cool, thanks.
Love your content, you got me started in hydroponics. How do you keep up with nutrient production? You have so many plants growing you have to be making a daily 55 gallon drum to keep up. Would love to see a behind the scenes on how you manage all your nutrients.
No, I make 5 gallons at a time, it lasts me more than a month.
Mike, you’re a great inspiration to many of us. I bought the “sprouting trays” you use through your link. I also bought my first “GMO FREE” Salad Mix of seeds on Amazon. I did exactly as the instructions said (it’s VERY easy), along with following your videos and had my very first “harvest” in around 7 days. I’m so excited (and I thought I had a brown thumb :0). Anyway, thanks for all you do. God bless you and your family, take care.
That’s awesome! I am so happy for you!
hello, nice work, what type of lights do you use and how powerful are they?
Here’s the ones I have: https://amzn.to/3A4uvjh
Mike, do you have a video about setting up the green containers with the sand and refillable bottles?
That is coming soon, editing it now. I wanted to show the grow rack. Should be done this coming week.
@@KeepOnGrowin thank you Mike. Your efforts are truly appreciated.
I have tried and tried and tried to get sprouts going. I can’t afford lights the microgreens need. My option right now is sprouts. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. They are not fully sprouting and then turn bad.
Microgreens don’t need much light.
@@KeepOnGrowin I used to grow them. Then, my husband passed away. I lost the house and most of what we owned. I’m low, fixed income now trying to raise our 13 yr old son in a kind of run down trailer in a new state. I feel sprouts are my only option right now. Trays don’t work for me. Jars with sprouting lids aren’t working. I use true leaf seeds. I rinse twice a day with filtered water. Do you have any advice?
@@carvertmmy Could be the temperature. Could be not draining properly. Are you leaving them inverted until most of the water drains?
Awesome indoor setup 🥬 TFS!
Thank you!
Hello Mike, I’m always really excited about your videos and tips. I have a big garden in the summer and would like to start using your method with the water dispenser adapter in the winter. When I go to your site and want to order – it always says no delivery to Germany??? What can I do? Best wishes Beate
Dried beans from Asian supermarket is VERY cheap. They sprout easily. 😎 Adzuki is good.
If they aren’t meant for sprouting specifically they can make you sick. Learned that the hard way using very cheap seeds and beans.
About peas. If the roots are shooting up too much in the beginning it helps to put another container on top of the peas for weight/blockage. That helps the roots find their way down into the reservoir. 👍
