I have the mother plant. Thanks for the Video.
Of course – now get to cloning! π
That was a excellent video. I’m the one that commented on one of your last video about covering your container. You hit all base’s this time. Excellent for the beginners. Lookin forward for next video. One thing you didn’t mention is that some do the wicky kraky method with the wick in the water to the net cup. Wich doesn’t matter to me.
I remember you Mark! Next video will be about how to farm on a quarter of an acre…it’s a long one. Hope you enjoy! And yes, the wick kratky is probably even more efficient. I mention in my 2 Liter Bottle video.
Thanks for.spendimg your time to make.the vids. Thumbs up.
+66blacksunshine of course! Thanks for the support
Great video! I’m hooked. π I love the idea of not wrapping the jars. It seems to me, a newbie at hydroponics, that if you are doing short time plants like lettuce and such, (20-40 days), you don’t need the wrapping. Now I’m off to check out your other videos. Thanks.
That’s my logic as well. This is a SIMPLE system, I want to keep the annoyances to a minimum π
Caroline. I’ve done it both ways (many times) ie: Kratky basil with 100% light block and Kratky basil with no light block. There is no question whatsoever that light block is essential even within a 40 day grow window. The only containers that I ever found algae in were those exposed to light. The block has to be 100% to prevent algae growth. Algae is not fatal to the plant but it does reduce growth/yield and in some cases it may contribute to more harmful pathogens being introduced to the system.
Epic intro ! Good job
Thanks!
What you used the Nutrient of hydroponic can you be able to use just the normal fertilizer ? If can = how much I need on the NPK, Thank you. You explain everything so clear and easy , thanks again for all the knowledge. Newcastle AUπ¦πΊπ¦πΊ
Hi Kev, enjoy your knowledge and presentation, subscribed from NSW Australia
Hey – greetings over there in NSW!
I have young herbs (basil, chives, chamomile, lemongrass) that I bought last week and planted in too small of a container w/little drainage. I’d like to convert them into hydroponics. In this case I wouldn’t need the rock wool and just carefully clean the roots and shove them into the net pot…is that right? Thanks.
That jug is genius for pouring the solution,I’ve been using a 5 gallon bucket and its a 2 hand messy and hard to carry choice.
What nutrients and what proportions per jar? Thanks!
With the LED lighting, how long to you leave it on for every day, and what is the light level at at the basil (lux? or how many watts, how close do you bring the light to the leaves?)
Nice vdo. I would like to know about the pH and EC of the water with nutrients. What nutrients do you use. Can you tell in detail about the grow lights and if a humidifier is necessary?
I swear everytime i have some question about a plant you ALWAYS have an answer! I’m off to propagate my neglected basil plant and get it into leca
Pretty sure you’d be better off using opaque jars because I think light on the roots can have a negative impact on growth. Maybe you could try painting or duct taping half of the jars to see how they compare.
Thatβs cool. I didnβt know you could grow it like that
Love basil, always buy live plants. With this method can the plant keep going by just cutting leaves as needed?
Dude, I am a U.S.Army Disabled Veteran, I have combed the net for info on growing Basil & other Plants, for food and sale, I live in the Asian South Pacific, with the coming of the American food shortage, you will do good, You should plant, Purple yams, or sweet potato’s, in the ground, people will walk right over them and NOT even know they are standing on Food, anyway I absolutely LOVE your video here, it has really inspired to run with this, And Basil is a BIG cash crop here ! In Italy the Italians who raise Basil for an Herb or to make Pesto are Really RICH ! Thanks again for you help !
Wooww thank you for this informative video about hydroponically growm basil!β€
Hi! Thanks for this video!
Just new to the plants world π
Question, can we also use just pebbles instead of hydroton at the top part?
Also, can we make our own nutrient solution for plants in water? Maybe using stuff we have at home? π
Love this idea! What nutrients are you using for this method?
