Part 1 of a mid-July update on the garden that looks at just the hydroponic section. Part two will be just the raised beds and will be uploaded in a few days.
The two ripe Jasper tomatoes were absolutely fantastic!

    Great job! Garden looks really nice. That hydroponic gardening seems to agree with your plants. Nice product placement. Is Lowe's underwriting you now??? Looking forward to the "raised bed" video…

    Marc Everything and I mean everything is amazing bro! I love the san marzano's too bro. You know bro I'd say you have one of the finest outdoor systems I'v seen! Excellent Marc!

    Something to be proud of for sure!  Have you calculated how much water you're using per day?  Blossom drop ~ I use to hand pollinate in the mornings to maximize my production, it worked.  I stopped doing it this year since flowers weren't going to set with the night temps being so low.  I've lost entire clusters without any set fruit.

    Your blossom end rot, was that before you started Cal/mag?   Maybe I could do this again, I stopped due to high res temps but if I do aeroponics, it might just work?

    Wow Marc !! Everything looks so incredible ! Those tomatoes look awesome, and I am so happy to see that they are doing well since I gave you the seed. I was actually worried about how they were going to do for you…Glad that they panned out. Peppers look great too. =) I am also growing Pablanos. Thank you for the nice words ! I appreciate it ! I have about 30 varieties of heirlooms this year, so tons more to share. Looking forward to the raised-bed video….

    Very nice!!!!
    Do you mind sharing what is your watering timer set up?
    I also enjoy hydroponic outdoors growing and are currenty in the south of spain. (Its my first year)Temperature during the day is around 30 degrees celcius with almos cero humidity. I am using GH flora series on hard water with a EC of around 2,5 around 1250 ppm. I keep my reservior away from the sun inside a shed. My current water set up is 15 min on 45 min off. On some of my tomatoe varieties I am having flower drop (like they are drying) but my cherry variety are doing good. Have you had any flower drop or bottom end rot. I am running a bato bucket similar tomyours and mhp gardner. I enjoy your videos.
