- how to lettuce hydroponic at home :
today I'm showing you how to grow lettuce at home hydroponically
Growing lettuce ( lactuca sativa) hydroponically
it's an amazing experience and learning process
Today I'm sharing with you my experience
And the mistakes that i made , so that you Don't make the same mistake
I'm going to germinate them in plastic container
and paper towel
Place them About half inch apart from each other after over the container with clear plastic wrap ,keep them in shade place , not in direct sun light make sure that the paper towel always moist .Once the seedlings have a few leaves on them, you can put them in a small net pot, stabilize with clay pellets and put them in your system
I'm using plastic Pail as Reservoir Add A & B solution
2- Transfer the Seedlings to the system Here I made a mistake
I transferred the seedlings to the system very early
I should wait 3 to 4 weeks ,I recommend to use Rockwool Cube , much easier, I'm using My DIY hydroponic system and I bought this 24 H Plug Timer, i set it 15 min on and 15 min off you can check Operation Instructions
Quick look ! What's going on inside {check the roots } after 0ne week in the system i see At this stage I noticed the seedlings growing more to length
then I made another mistake made Not enough lighting for the seedlings
So I changed the place where more sunlight after that didn't wait so long to see a good result Fast growing leafy greens .
Lettuce is a favorite crop among hydroponic growers. And being one of the easiest crops to grow hydroponically, it is a great vegetable to start with as a beginner. And that’s what this website is geared towards!
Hydroponic lettuce is easy to maintain, it grows fast and doesn’t take up much space. Which makes it easy to be grown in a controlled environment.
Hydroponic lettuce is a leafy vegetable that is not supposed to go all the way to the flowering phase.
That being the case, its nutrient solutions are simple and they don’t need to change at any point over its growing season
my mistakes :
- transfer the seedlings early .
- I placed the system where not enough sunlight .
WHAT IS HYDROPONICS?
Hydroponics is a system of growing plants in water without soil.
Plants receive their necessary nutrients through the hydroponic fertilizer that’s added to water.
The plant roots are stabilized in clay pellets or perlite, coconut coir, or rice hulls instead of soil.
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR GROWING LETTUCE
Lettuce is a cool-season plant, so it can grow outdoors in mild winter areas in an area that receives a full day of sun.

Just a tip.. you should add the A & B first (or whatever food/fertilizer program you are using), and then pH balance to desired pH... The nutrients can affect the pH, so it may be wasteful to pH the water first.
Correct thanks
Thank you for visiting and helping my channel.
very nice like me as a beginner .thanx for expanding your knowledge to the many veiwer
you're welcome
Really nice video! Very useful for starters.
Two recommendations, first the video is really cool but a bit slow, iwatched it at 1.25 speed and it plays much better as a watching experience.
Second for everyone copying the system know that his is not a true NFT(nutrient film technique) there is too much water here I the pipes, 2 liters per minute is the right amount if I'm not mistaken, this creates a small film of nutrient solution in the bottom of the pipes, the netcups should rest touching the bottom so the ruts can extend there and catch nutrient solution.
But really nice video, keep it up!
Could you talk to me more on preventing nutrient film plz?!!
Nice video po..
It will really help a lot specially to those who are just starting hydroponics..
Thank you for making such💚
Thanks po sa informative video. Sana mag upload pa po kayo ng ibang videos using pvc or other materials using pump naman po. Maganda kasi pagkakagawa ng video nyo kasi step by step at madali po intindihin. More power po sa channel nyo. Congrats.
Thank you sir for sharing.Watching you from Abu Dhabi.God bless
Thank you ❤️ and welcome to my channel
What nutrients are you using and plz let me know what pH up and down solutions you are using ?
What are the things that you punt in the plastic containers and why do you put them in there. How does the hydroponic garden work and how much water should be flowing through. Also, can you link those little containers in the video. By the way how and why do you put that cotton/plastic film on the roots, and how do you do that. Thank you if you answer any of these questions, I am a beginner to hydroponics and getting the fundamentals of hydroponics.
What was the white materal you put the plant into before you put it in the cup ? You should to use rockwool cube instead, are you talking about starting the seeds in rockwell? If not, why would you use the towel method and rockwool?
Can you please provide the details of how you built the hydroponic system shown in the video? Also, what is the spacing of the holes for the net cups? What is the diameter of the holes for the net cups? I use totes now, using the Kratky method. Although it has been productive, I can see that your system will be superior, and easier to manage. Thanks!

What pump timing have you found works best? 15min on 15 off or I see you mentioned 30 on 30 off in an answer. What is best have you found? It is strange here in the states as there is little info on this type of system where drain is in middle of pipe. This is not NFT but more of a DFT system I think. Seems to work great but no information here in US about pump timing. Thanks.
Hello Good day, wonderful video, I would like to know what material you used to cover the plant?
In germinating seeds, do you cover them with plastic wrap throughout until full leaves have come out?
May i know what is that white material ( like paper towel or plastic) you are using to wrap around the roots that will promote water osmosis?
Hello, i really like your video, can you answer few of my questions please. 1) are the nutrients organic, is it good for health? 2) how much does it cost for small setup to start with ? 3) motor should be running 24/7 ? thanks :)
hi there !
1) this fertilizer not organic , but it's the same they use in soil to grow the vegetables we buy from the market .
2) it cost me around 50 USD . depends on the material price in your country .
3) you can use timer , 15 min on 15 min off.
Another mistake was to clip off the middle of the lettuce. Of you would have clipped leaves from the outside it would have continued to grow and produce more leaves to eat 😎
Hi there !
Yes correct, thank you.
Wow naman inspired here😊. Soon sana mg work din yong akin.
It's so mind blowing to watch this fruitful cultivation with the background music. Keep up the good work bruh🌱
Thank you ❤️
Very good CongratulationsI like it very cleverly imaginative👏👏👏👏
thank you .

This helpful tip for hydrogrower
thanks
I like this video, as beginners
Nice video. Are those round stuffs used to support the wool regular stone?
Thanks, i just bought a hydroponic machine and have no idea what to do
learn how to use and enjoy growing plants hydroponically
How many centimeters apart should it be planted?

What is the a & b solution which you have added, can you please mention that.
Hi ! Yes sure
it's a Hydroponic fertilizer specially formulated for Hydroponics . Provide nutrition to the plants to grow.
Ask ko lng po dahilan ng pagkalusaw ng lettuce? Naka dalawang try na ako sinundan ko naman yong steps
Hi Bibi, it's been 5 days since I started germination for bib lettuce but they don't grow similar to yours. Like super slow germination and I saw my seedling leaves turn black not green. Thanks in advance!
Hi there !
You can send me some pictures here , let me have a look.
loversgarden5@gmail.com
Beginner here. What is solution A and B?
Please what type of device was used in water circulation ? Must we use electricity?
you the water pump, yes you must use electricity or Solar power, or try DWC system.
Hi thank u for the vedio it done very well.one question what the temperature if I grow lettuces? I live in a tropical climate.
the best temperature is below 25°
wellgrow seed...... Do you live in Malaysia?Do you get all the apparatus from shopee? May i ask does the seed quality trustable?How much days does it take from seed to harvest? Anyway great video!It helps me a lot as a references.Thank you !
Hi, greetings, po! I hope you'll see this message because we really need it for our experiment research. Our allotted time for our study is 1-2 month... May I know where you bought the lettuce seed? Does it only take 1-2 weeks before it sprouts?
you can get the seeds online stores or anywhere, shopping malls ...
it takes 3 weeks before transferring them to hydroponic system
Thank you for the video
Woow Good job i like it 😍😍
Thank you !
hello, keep up the good work,
Can I know how much solution need to be prepared? also at what temperature they were grown?
Were the plants exposed to direct sun all day? is it okay to keep it in a well lit area, with 3-4 hours direct sun?
Hi ! For the sulution I prepared about 10 L , it's depend on your reservoir , always use EC test , the Ideal temperature for lettuce is 60 to 65° f
I think should be okay 3/4 h sunlight if morning sunlight .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Thank you very much, is the 10L enough until the plant has grown? or need to change/ add more nutrient solution in between?
You need to add water as the plant grows they consume, each time when you add water raise the EC level for example, starting at 800 ppm, the next 1000 ppm , after 1200 .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB brother .. what is the meaning of ppm ?
@@dulawendareb.5473 PPM is ‘Parts per million’. Its a unit equivalent to milligram per liter and shows how much of a chemical is present in (a liter) solution of water.
Is there a specific temperature or humidity these should be in? It currently gets 90F~100F where I am
100 F is very hot for a PVC system, I suggest growing in cocopeat bags .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Thank you. What if I were to do it in indoor controlled climate? Is there a specific temperature and humidity recommended for controlled setting?
how many days from zero to hardvest ?
hi, Sir. Saan po makakabili ng ginamit nio ung pinaka pot, solution and ung brown colored materials po ( ano po pala un)?
Do I need a second tester? You tested a second time after putting fertilizer in?
I don’t have this system. If I grew them in jars would that work? Thanks
I tested the EC level and the pH ...
you can try other hydroponic systems ..
check my videos I have other designs
If full grown and harvested the 1st time , is it still okay to leave it in the system and will it grow again and maybe do have another harvest? Thanks
yes can harvest few times , just cut thr leaves .
Hi, that brown stone like things you put on the seedling what's it called. Thanks in advance
clay pebbles...
@@DIYGARDENWITHBBis it okay if you don’t use clay pebbles?
do you leave the water resevoir open to the elements? How do you not have algae and bacteria growth in your system with the water not constantly flowing?
Hi there !
Need to cover your reservoir ..
Hello! Is there a specific name for this method of growing with hydroponics? Me and my classmates are conducting research and would like to use this method for our research ^^
What are the brown balls used instead of soil.and where can we get it from.
Hi there ! Sorry I forgot the mention them on the video , anyway it's clay pebbles , I bought them online , you can check at your local Nursery .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB what about that other thing which you wrapped the seedlings in before you put the pebbles in the netcup? what's it called?
Howlongit grow from germinate untill harvest
@@davemwangi05 Hydroponic sponge
Hi ! A simple question.
Once a pod is ready to harvest, Is it best to extract it all and start a new pod with a new seed afterward.
Or you can just cut a bunch of lettuce and let it regrowth again in the same pod, same roots ?
Hi there ! the best is to start a new seed ... if you keep regrowing you will get a bitter taste .
Good information! However, if you wanted more views, try talking even if it's just an voice over 😁.
What's the background song playing lol sounds nice
hi sir I have a question pleas tel me what's the A & B Solution
"A & B fertilizer" typically refers to a two-part nutrient system used in hydroponic or soilless growing. Part A contains the primary nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, while Part B includes secondary and micronutrients. When mixed together, these components provide a balanced nutrient solution for plants' growth.
very nice
Thanks
You can spread some dead’s in a hydroponic bed and they will grow
ano pong tawag sa mga bilog na inilagay nyo sa plant?
Really great video! Can you tell me the total yield you get (in kg/lbs) from this setup
Hi there !
I'm not sure I didn't weight .
What liquid you are using nice video thanks
Hi there !
I'm using Hydroponic fertilizer A&B
What solution do you usually put after 5 days?
i use hydroponic fertilizer A @ B .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB TNX!
What's that brown thing added to the cups?
Clay pebbles
Thanks
try ko rin to kuya thank you for the tutorial
Welcome
What is the name of the solution used? I'm from the Philippines. Thank you
Hi I'm buying the powder and mix water ..
They all the same I guess.
check in shopee .
Pa share nman po ng link sa store na nag bibinta ng seeds ng lettuce at ibapa
Excelent vídeo I have a question how many time you turn on the water machine? Do you use a timer?
Hi there !
Yes I used timer 30 Min on and 30 Min off.
What is A and B solution?
Hello sir, after how many day should I transfer the plants to system?
Hi there!
Germinate your seeds in rockwool , when you see true leaves you can transfer them . I will say 15/20 days.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB sir should we have to add nutrients in these 15 day's??
@@sachint3599 Yes, I believe so. It will still work.
hello po ano pong twag dun sa tools na ginamit po ninyo to get the ph level of water please notice me slamat po
how long take get full result?
Hi !
3 weeks to grow the seedlings then you transfer to the system after that
4 weeks to grow and ready for harvest.
Nice video! Can I ask a question? What is the average number of lettuce leaves? Thank you!
I didn't count them maybe around 20.
What's the water pH, TDS(ppm) & EC?
Hi there!
PH a scale used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution .
Ppm : parts per million
The unit used by total dissolved solids(TDS) meters to measure fertilizer concentration .
EC : electrical conductivity a measure of a material's ability to transport an electrical current . The conductivity of a nutrition solution can be used as an estimate of fertilizer concentration .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Thank you for your reply but what i'm asking is what's the ideal reading for pH, TDS & EC for the plant.Thank you
pvc & net cup sizes?
PVC 110 mm
net cup size 55 mm
So is the water continuously running
I used timer 15 min on and 15 min off for 24/h
saan po mabili ng seeds my sa online ba?
Hi there! May I ask why did you need to transfer the seedlings after 3 weeks? Thank you!
Hi there .
After 3 weeks they develop true leaves and longer roots , easy to deal with them .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB how do they taste?
They taste very good .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Yeah it's something I want to do, I'm starting tomorrow, but I wanna use indoor lighting. So some tips & advice from you would be appreciated.
Give me your Gmail I will send you a PDF file full guide of Hydroponic including the light.
What is the A&B solution?
Hi there !
It's Hydroponic fertilizer .
Is the stone compulsory?
Hi there ,
You can replace them with Sponge or lava rocks ,river stone...
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB thank you for ur reply.
Good video, i m new just my seed r ready to transfer on hed.. System, but i want to know can i transfer seedling pot glass with seed mix soil, as garden mix etc soil in india we cal mitti in hindi.. Pls advice
Hi there !
True Hydroponic never use dirt , I think you are talking about fertigation system where can use polybag and drip irrigation .
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB no, mybqut r hydroponics system, can we keep plant 🌿 with same seedling soil which we use to grow seed in glass or pot. With mix soils
You can transfer the seedlings from dirt to Hydroponic , wash out the roots to remove all the dirt before transferring them to Hydroponic system.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB can be as its with all dirt like before was in seedling port, glass, can we use, its my question
@@sajjadahmadvoc9388 were you able to grow following this method?
Music name?
How lng did it take to harvest it?
Hi there !
3 weeks to grow the seedlings then you transfer to the system after that
4 weeks to grow and ready for harvest
3:30 why some of the seeds did not sprout ?
that's normal not all seeds will sprout.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB how long should we keep it in the box away from sunlight ? 4 weeks ?
What was your second ph reading?
@Cornelius Vera Some friend you are..
Don't you need fish for hydrophonics?
Hi there !
For Hydroponics we don't need fish , we provide the nutrition for the plants from the fertilizer .
We need fish in aquaponics Garden.
@@DIYGARDENWITHBB Thank you!
Leaves are too long. They don't seem to get enough light probably.
Hi there !
Yes i mentioned that in the video . It can be not enough light or hight temperature.
Hi, what lettuce is this? Romaine?
Yes .
I don't like this cheep pipes because of a lot of algae growing. Lite should be blocked from getting into water .
Ano po Yung nilagay na circle?
Yung brown po
Ask kolang po , may alam kayong nag tinda nang uv plastic bandang pangasinan?
beginner hydroponic
that bell sound is so annoying
dude.. beginner? look at those tubs and pipes man. its an amazing set up but this isnt a started kit by any means
