Hydroponics is a tricky hobby and has many questions, but the first question that comes up is, How do I start seeds? Without any soil starting seeds can be tricky and a bit confusing, however this episode highlights 2 simple ways to do that.
Does this work for a plant like a Fern Asaparagus, indoors?
What edible plants are suitable to be grown hydroponically?
I did it the same way but a pity did germinate plant died shortly after now I spout on paper towel once spouted i move it to soil.
Can next episode do more on hydro pls.
Like how to do our own nutrient. Or where to buy.. different between organic n inorganic hydro fert.
Lights, EC PPM n etc…
Thanks for the video! Will this method work for tomatoes?
Nice video on germinating seeds. Any videos on the next steps hydroponically?
does this works with herb seeds as well? thyme, basil etc
Rock wool is glass? I never knew. Now I know why it’s suggested to never handle dry. Dangerous for the lungs I’m sure.
Just bought my first indoor hydroponic it's not big but can't wait to try it out thanks for the tips and ideas
Luke i try everything and different brands of spinach and still that is one vegetable I cant grow hydroponic so what do I do
You say the seeds do better growing in darkness, and you have a heat mat for heat – why do you use a gro lite? Doesn’t that make the seeds hot and in direct light?
MIgardner, I've heard some folks say to grow the seedling in a dark damp area, will that work when there is no light till it spouts?
OMG @5:51 you start to talk about the seed planting.. wtf dude you talk a lot.. lol
I start seeds indoors and transplants outside. Ive been wanting to try soilless starters but wondering what nutrition solution do you use? Do you start only in this solution or added water?
Can you use the petrie dish method for the smaller seeds as well, or do you have to use the rockwool?
Wow this dude didn't hit you with anything
14 minutes for info thats readily available. Was hoping youd actually have some insight. Really sick of these 1000 hydroponic how to videos that just make mountains out of mole hills. How can you take germination- and complicate it into a 14 minute video
Dont listen to this guy, read a biology book, read the practical soilless guide by J. Benton jones jr. This is incomplete and full of opinions
When they sprout do you take the seeds out of the starter cubes or move them to your hydroponic set up?
Some other people say we should germinate in the dark, and only expose to light once we see the true leaves
Do plant seeds understand the difference in the nutrients you used or those taken from a chemistry lab ?
thanks cse I was concerned about the cost. We do not hv rockwool in Trinidad or it may b very expensive.
what size are your petri dishes, 2 oz etc?
how do you prepare the growing solution ? what does it include?
Video starts at 7:10
Can we grow money plant using kratky method?
What size in ounces are the jello shot cups you are using? They sell many sizes. Great video. Thank you so much!
