Hydroguy is playing with the Jiffy Carefree line to see how fast they pop. They are exceptionally faster than the standard Jiffy-7, taking only a few minutes to completely hydrate, ready for use. The video was recorded on my laptop so the video quality is ass. Though they are a bit [...]
Having perused the outdoors plantations in the last video, we get a quick tour around the indoor Waterfarm, DWC, and soiless potted plants. Banana plant, stunted mini-corn, some brown DWC root.. [...]
With a quick clip in July for contrast to how lush the garden has become in just one month, we go on a tour around the garden plots in my yard. There’s thriving bushes of tomato plant, stunted corns, absolute crap hanging tomatoes, the vertical tomato grow-board, and a few [...]
Running General Organics in DWC was a predictable fight against slime, and though I found low doses of base nutrient and cal/mag to be manageable, this is the result of the full dose of the entire line. The biofilm that formed on the roots and basket was blackened, probably from [...]
Hydroguy transplants a tomato plant rooted in a 3×3 1801 insert pot with peat-lite into a cleaning sponge – without removing the peat! The sponge sits in a 10″ net basket destined for a life of DWC. Sharing the sponge with the tomato is ryegrass, which was germinated and grown [...]
Hydroguy reloads his Waterfarm hydroponics drip-ring X DWC bucket with a stunted tomato plant. The tomato plant was germinated and grew in a 3×3 1801 insert cup for around 8 weeks in a peat-lite mix. Rinsing the peat off the roots is necessary with the drip-ring system, and as harsh [...]
High relative-humidity, moist substrate.. you know the drill. It seems the corn and banana plant are more susceptible than tomatoes. Music: Pink Floyd – In The Flesh Intro animation: Grubbycup Some info on guttation can be found at Urban Garden Magazine:
Hydroguy has been waiting patiently to transplant his 2010 specimens to the great outdoors. On June 13th 2010 there was a plethora planted, Sunflowers, Corn, Tomato, Moonflower, Pumpkin, Watermelon, Peas, and others. Featured in this video are two “inventions” by Hydroguy’s friend, referred to by Hydroguy as Ingenious Guy, the vertical 1-gal pot system and the hanging plant. As well there is a short intro musical bit by Matt Jones during his Sunday show (coz it was filmed at the tail end of the show) – check him out at http://justin.tv/umdude for some great acoustic originals and covers. General Organics trial in DWC – stage two is Catgrass in a sponge before I throw a tomato in (stage one was an empty bucket bubbled for one week to see how mucky it got). This is the first clean since the catgrass has been in the bucket, not too much slime so far, but I am using a mild feed. Keeping the bubbles down to avoid overgrowth on the air stone that tends to stress the pump. More updates soon! Continue reading DWC Bucket Clean – General Organics – Video From the darkest corners of the garden creeps the arthropod scourge, the microscopic menace; which in it’s droves in the hundreds of thousands can decimate an innocent byplanter. Here we must study the enemy, learn it’s tactics and strategy, to move ever forward in the conquest of hydroponic domination. |
