I have now harvested 33 potatoes from two six inch net pot buckets with the largest being tennis ball size. In about another month I will harvest my 8″ netpot bucket which should yield more potatoes.

agri-cube compact hydroponic unit produces 10000 vegetables per year, in the space of a single car park http://www.diginfo.tv/v/12-0149-r-en.php DigInfo TV – http://diginfo.tv 26/7/2012…
well you did all the work, payed $10 to run the electric pumps, bought all
the fertilizer and you got 25 cents worth of food!?
One of the few things we haven’t grown hydroponically. Good work!?
How far can we stray from nature before we realize what a monster we are
creating ??
I just started a couple of hydroponic tomatoes trying out lava rock, its
only $3.00-$4.00 a bag vs $30.00-$40.00 bag for hydroton?
The drawback to hydroponics is that you will have to pay for “plant food”
or nutrients and supplements which can be high-priced.?
I have an announcement for all my subscribers. I can no longer videos to
this youtube channel, so I have created a new channel called Almost Heaven
Hydroponics. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience, but this youtube
goggle merger is giving me fits.
Stay tuned, as I will have many more updates to list.
Thank you.
Duane?
hydro spuds good project ;)?
Throwing the potato was best part of the vid?
What variety of potato did you use?
Did you start from potato slips?
How about using a Perlite vs Hydroton Clay Pebles??
“Now that’s a real pota…. Was a real potato ”
Hahaha XD made my night?
Yeah, that 8″ pot certainly has my attention. I want to go with a bucket a
bucket too. I suspect that it will work even better, but with the high cost
of hydroton it may not be feasible.
Yep I agree the hydroton is expensive bro
Hi Duane, try the youtube search function for “Aeroponic potato” for the
setup by a guy named Erol Sinan. It’s interesting. All he is using is a
table with black plastic sheet around it, and an up firing spray unit.
Looks cheap & functional Please drop me a line at totterdell91@gmail.com if
you can (I’d like to get you to look at a photo of some tomato leaves from
my dutch buckets & seek your opinion) Brendan
I’m just blown away they did so well eh Duane. Now they are lifting the
Hydroton up and not so much to the sides eh. I’ll give this a try also
great experiment Duane! I’m looking to see the 8″ pot
YOUR GARDEN REPLACED BY A HYDROPONIC CUBE??
We are developing a system that would give near 640 square foot of
Aeroponic growing for the same price of this system and you could grow
micro greens, leafy greens from the same system. It’s not near as fancy,
but you don’t need fancy to make money. facebook/indoorharvest
Two words.
But, will it blend? That is the question.
sounds like a perfect target for a bio-chemical terrorist attack
these is cool!!!
I think it could be much more efficient and rational to use sunlight too.
Minimizing electricity costs.
no humans dont require meat.
like how americans killed all those iraqis and afghanis for no reason?
Explain me why.
…but can it grow Crysis?
@bullshitthat ~ EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING … As a necessity and using
sunlight and supplemental led lighting… maybe 10 per city 🙂 UFO ’12
I’d like to see a miniature version of this for the house… like the size
of a fridge. Fresh vegetables right from your kitchen!
this is not utopia, it’s the future of abundance
We have absolutely mastered agriculture. Incredible 🙂
Can it grow marijuana?
aeroponics > hydroponics
90%? did you just use statistic you pull out from your rear end entrance?
Also as a man who live in a developing country where most farmers own their
own land (surprise surprise!). Most multinational companies prefer to build
factories near big cities. If you really want to talk about working class
you need to mingle with them more rather than throwing around meaningless
statistics and numbers on the internet.
could this be used for weed
Vegetarian’s dream gift.
We need more stuff like this in cities. But instead like in the video, we
need actual sky rise buildings that are like farms in the city.
yes AC and chilled water, lettuce grows best in cool air and cool water.
With all those grow lights inside you need to pull the heat out.
How much energy does this thing use? Looks like all fluorescent and then
there is the climate control.
Healthy plants free of pests and pesticides. Also don’t forget wind power.
I’m gunna grow Soooooo much weed 😀
