    Ok, I hear one mistake, you say you were using "daylight" bulbs for the tomatoes, and did not get them to flower, typical daylight bulbs are around 5000k, for flowering try switching to a warmer tone bulb, around 2700k….. Yes you could just use the daylight bulb and lower the amount of hours per day they get light and achieve similar results, but naturally the light plants get during early Summer is more like a 5000k fluorescent, and as Summer gets closer to being over the light is warmer in tone, more like the 2700 fluorescent. Indoors we are doing are best to simulate nature, but it is never going to be as good as using the natural sun outdoors… Also, some grow hydro outdoors, myself for example…. Otherwise your points were well made.

    I have been growing hydroponics for years and I have found all of these problems that you have mentioned plus many more and restrictions on what you can actually grow because doing a lot of research and thinking I have concluded that trace minerals are not making it to the plant mainly because hydroponic fertilizers are synthetic, so my solution is to put soil in a tank dilute it with lots of water agitate it for a few hours then allow the solution to settle so all of the the lumps and dirt sink to the bottom then I feed the remaining water skimming it from the top through my hydroponic system and I have had absolute amazing results,
    I've also found that the root system requires a temperature difference between when the light is on and off so when the light is on the water has to be slightly warmer but not too warm and at night the water has to be slightly warmer than the environment the plant is in to simulate night as the soil will hold a thermic energy charge of warmness.

    Hello, love your videos! I have been growing hydroponics tomatoes, eggplants, lettuces, peppers and soon zucchinis— I'm hooked! I was wondering if you could give me suggestions for my fertilizer nutrient mix. We mix tomato fertilizer, epsom salt, and calcium nitrate in tap water. It is all dissolved when we mix but after a day, a rust-like 'scum' develops at the top and even in the water you can see small dark particulates. As background,the nutrients are added to ph-corrected water and each nutrient is completely dissolved in water before it is added to the water container. Thanks so much!

    This was the best video presentation I ever watched on plants. I generally am skeptical towards women as they tend to go too much into details and also put in all sorts of distractions. This was the first video I watched of yours and it is made excellent. Looking forward to enjoy rest of your videos. A big thank you for the hard work you put in. From New Delhi India.
