Nice Video, thanks. One questions, what do you need the air pump for? Why the bubbles?
Just watched a video that explained it to me. Turns out that aeroation is much better than Kratky. ๐
Hi there . Thanks
Plants need oxygen, if we do not provide oxygen, the roots will rot.
@DIY & GARDEN WITH BIBI thank you ๐
@Mega LUL well I use both. Its just with kratky, if you over fill it drowns the air roots. And I have done that before.๐คฆโโ๏ธ
But I didn’t notice a huge difference between the kratky and deep water culture with the bubbler. Both plants did well.
But my cucumbers lasted all summer in the kratkys out in the greenhouse but I have no electric out there (hubs is going to run underground cable this summer for me)
I also grew in the ground. But the cucumbers in hydroponics out preformed them. Like 75% better with hydroponics.
I will not plant them in the ground again.
@Emeraldwitch30 drill some holes into the side of your bucket or container at the fill line so it’s impossible to overfill
Hi, I have question regarding the concentration of the nutrient of the cucumbers.
Do we need to always monitoring the concentration of the nutrient? and usually how frequently does we need to adding some amount of nutrient again?
yes you need to check at least once a week your EC Lev especially when the plants fruiting , normally the EC won’t drop the plants consume the water ..so you need to add the water+ nutrition , I have added 3 to 4 times.
Nice growth! At what point did you change from normal water to hydroponics solution during first stage?
Hi there!
Before I transferred the seedlings to Hydroponics , I started giving solutions EC 0.5 Ms/cm. When you see the first true leaves .
Awesome setup. Did you add anything else in water? Some people use a and b solution.
Hi there !
Yes I added the Hydroponic fertilizer .
I would like to know what kind of cucumber did you use.
I just found your channel and I love it.
You have a Blessed Day
Hi there!
This Japanese cucumber .
Thnx
Thank you for the wonderful video.
Welcome
Great video – thanks for sharing. Have you tried growing cucumbers with your top drip bucket recirculating method? Your tomato plants look amazing with that method. I would be interested to find out if that would work for cucumbers. Also, where do you purchase your buckets with lids for cups? Mahalo and Aloha.
I purchased them from china , Alibaba website.. yes can grow cucumbers.
Do we need to water the plants or we will just wait until the plants grow? Sorry beginner hereโค๏ธ
hello we don’t have to water the plants ,
we provide water and nutrients plus oxygen to the plants to grow in thr water .
we need to change the water every 2 weeks .
@DIY & GARDEN WITH BIBI thank you so much, your video is very informative, more power to you
Nice Video
How many cucumbers per plant did you harvest?
Total alot I didn’t count them .
Nice video i love it! There is one thing which bothers me tho… Why wont you make 9 holes? You have a lot of water boosted with some stuff isnt it kinda waste? Or roots cant touch each other? Plants shade each other too much? Anyways thank you! <3Cheers!
you’re welcome, after the plants grow big they use a lot of water every two days I need to add water and fertilizer ..
@DIY & GARDEN WITH BIBI OKay! Thank you for your answer! ^^
Wonderful
video! Thanks for showing us the process. Well done!
Nice music too!
thank you
Good video. I use a similar DWC setu-up, but with only one plant. The Picolino is a vining cucumber plant with all female flowers. I hand pollenate with an electric toothbrush. the fruit are a uniform, thin0skinn, 6″ long, 1″ thick. I typically get 30-50 cukes off one plant- really. Gotta keep an eye on the pH and PPM with R/O water and nute (Masterbend combo) changes every 2 weeks.
thanks for sharing your experience here .. good ๐
This 11 min video showed me everything my bf and I have done wrong the last 2 months with our hydroponic cucumbers. And not a word was spoken. Outstanding video thank you for making this!
you’re welcome.
I’m wondering if the aerator is necessary: Since the roots aren’t completely submerged in water, they should get oxygen from the air. Or is the aerator simply to circulate the nutrient (in which case, it can just be a water pump)?
No its not.
Hello. Im very new to hydroponics. I have a 12 pod Idoo system. I successfully grew some lettuce. I planted broccoli, but it grew too tall for my system, as it grew beyond the lights (which were raised to its max 11″). Is there a way to grow broccoli in such a system with the lights at a max of 11″? Also, I wanted to grow cucumbers, but based on your video, it seems like the cucumbers would need as much space as the broccoli. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Very informative video
thanks
Great video. I think that the nursery transplant can be avoided. The seeds in rock-wool would be very happy to start their life in your hydroponic system.
correct thank you.
Do we use plain water at seedling stage before transferring to Hydroponic?
you can start to fertilize before transferring the seedlings, when you see the true leaves appear.
Thanks for sharing a very detailed video..โค
you’re welcome
What kind of cucumber do I need that I will not have to cut the stings coming out the lines
