- This is amazing. My first time trying to grow cauliflower in a dutch bucket style setup was a HUUUUGE success. These things are excellent for hydroponic growing, with results far exceeding my expectations. I turned a snowball into a basketball !!!
It just broke my heart when you guys stopped doing videos, I felt like I lost two friends. You make a good team and I'm doing a happy dance to see you back. Loves❤
I had the same sentiment when I saw this vid. Glad you are back brother.
I want to say that I have learned more about hydroponics watching your videos than I have in any other videos on RUclips, books, articles, websites, or seminars at conferences. I am a teacher and I have used what I learned from you to introduce a number of students to this science/art. Thank you so much for everything.
I used MHP's dutch bucket videos to grow four varieties of tomatoes on 25 buckets. I was fortunate to be given some greenhouse space on a family nursery in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. The owner of the nursery told me again today that he is impressed with the production. Four households get to eat great tomatoes and there is plenty to give away to friends and to sell to nursery visitors. I am in the process of doubling tomato capacity with an objective of having year round tomatoes for the nursery to sell to the public. Everybody wins in a deal like this. I am at a loss for words to adequately thank MHP Gardener and Chris, the nursery owner. It has been an awesome experience and only made better in this "shutdown" environment because it has given meaning to our days to be able to share the concepts with others.
Paul, that is very cool. Thanks for sharing. What types of tomatoes are you having this great success with?
Thx for posting, just seeing u posted this morning made my day! It means a lot to a lot of people especially now! Thx again
You're welcome, glad it helped. Bobby
Bobby, so glad to see you airing another video. Always looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work. Barry from Georgia
Looks like a cauliflower on steroids, lol. But, no steroids here, just Masterblend fertilizer, Calcium Nitrate, and Epsom Salt. Ya'll gotta try this.
mhpgardener That’s a great harvest. Still waiting on my Masterblend order to arrive. Been busy with new ground and haven’t gotten the high tunnels back up yet. With this wind today, I’m glad I haven’t. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you very much. Bobby
What are the NPK values for growing calliflower. That is amazing. I have watched all your hydroponic videos, but still have some problems with a few plants.
Pouring rain here, on already wet ground. But looks dry for the next several days so might be able to finish planting. I think you'll be happy with the Masterblend, I know I am. Bobby

Your video on the long line going to the food bank moved me to tears. I have shared that video with a dozen people and it is starting to go viral. Great job.
I started my hydroponic system about 7 years ago thanks to you...and it's still going great. I just use buckets (with baskets on top) and totes (with lids with holes for net cups)....but I don't use the pump system. I just fill containers with nutrient solution (no pearlite) and then add an air stone. I guess it's the kratky method with added air stone. No need to have a reservoir or growing medium if you use net cups/river pebbles or even gravel. Much cheaper.
It's nice to see you posting again and showing people the hydroponics again.
Bobbie, you just made my day. glad to find you back. I started my system 3 years ago with all of your ideas, we really did well. I learned so much from you and your videos. Please keep them coming. We had our first problem with our tomatoes this year, blossom drop. we replaced our plastic with 6 mil and didn't take into the extreme heat that it produced. Lesson learned for next year. that you again and be blessed.
Nice to see you again! I watched all your hydroponic videos from 5 years ago. It's what started me on my hydroponic journey and I've been growing ever since. Thanks for all your info. It's been a tremendous help.
I have been working with Hydroponics, designing my own systems and constantly fabricating new systems for well over two decades now and you sir still amaze me lol Nice work! I work at a hydroponic store part time and I have shared your videos with some of my customers that are just starting out in the world of Hydroponics thank you for what you do.
You are one of my favourite content creators on all of RUclips. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and even more so showing us the process!

You have tought me so much about solid food production farming I cant thank u enough. I setup a Dutch bucket at my family friends house who is wheelchair bound and this is great. Takes so much stress out people's lives having this going in the yard. Brings so much health happiness and a good positive thing in a tough time . Not needing to stand in a line, excessive store travel...money saved... the more we the people garden around the neighborhood and eat or own...literally it slows oil consumption...reduces war...promotes healthiness...reduves pressure on 3rd world countries selling too much of there food supply to n. America..reduces need for people to leave there own countries. Brings balance everywhere. Godbless
Good to see ya back MHP... you’re keeping America 👍 god bless.
Awesome, just awesome. That cauliflower was certainly ginormous....
Man! I am glad to see you back! All of my adventures in hydroponics started out with your dutch bucket tomato videos!
Just getting over back fusion. Whoop! Found your 2012 dutch bucket I’d seen 8 yrs ago. I have buckets and going for it. Thanks again for the new Videos and the time it takes to make. Looking for more. 👍🏼
I just started watching your videos this spring and you gave me the confidence to try this. It has only been 5 weeks and I just can’t believe how easy it was to set up and the results are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for what you are doing I grew up with outdoor gardening and am really enjoying your dutch bucket and Kratky videos
WOW 😳!!! That is absolutely awesome 👏!!! That cauliflower is huge and enormous cauliflower!!!
Miss all your videos. Good to see you filming again. I still go back and watch all the old videos. Keep up the great! work!
Hope you are okay, have not seen a new video in a couple of years.....would love to see more of your work. God bless.
I pray he's ok. I also have learned so much and have many questions❤️
You made my day, so glad to See you back.The caluflower is amazing, Ive got to try it.Thanks
Hey Phil, been awhile. Hope you're doing well over there, good to hear from so many of the long time youtubers. Bobby
You are an amazing grower. Thanks buddy
Wow! That’s just incredible!
Nice Cauliflower, thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love your videos. You have been my biggest inspiration for building a garden. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do. It's really beautiful to see someone put so much soul and work into something they love. You make it easy for us to love it too. God bless you.
Thank you for the kind words, very much appreciated. Bobby
My husband and I enjoy watching your videoes very much! We were so glad to see a new one come along. We are ponic newbies. We just started a few buckets and my husband built us a grow tower for the kitchen!! Thanks for all the information and bless you!
I have watched all of your hydroponic videos and have learned a great deal. Thank you for your expertise. Already have some seedlings started and about ready to plant in my buckets and floating raft. As a previous viewer posted your information is so important right now and fresh fruits and vegetables without having to go to the grocery store is the best way to go. Thanks again.
That cauliflower is GREAT!!!! Thanks for sharing! I hope to see a lot more of your gardening videos. You have inspired me. I follow you suggestion on hydroponic solution and went with Master blend a while back. You were the one that pushed me over the edge to just buy the solution and get gardening! It is great and I have no regrets! Please keep making your videos and keep inspiring other to garden. Thank you!!!
Good to hear the Masterblend worked well for you. It's the only hydroponic fertilizer that I use, period. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have some ideas for more videos, just a matter of available time. We have a lot of things going on right now. Thanks, Bobby
@@mhpgardener Thanks for responding :) and I can't wait to see what you are up to next!
Wow I am glad that I saw this video. I was thinking of how to create media beds for radishes, green onions, garlic chives, beets and even baby carrot varieties... a large mixing tub is the easiest and least expensive option. Thanks so much.
Good to see you back!
Bobby so glad you are making vids and I hope Imstillworkin will join in with you! I am just amazed at what you all can grow. I sure do miss you both, and I hope you are all back for awhile. Keep Lookin Up!
I'm gonna do my best to post more often. We both have a lot of material, but it just takes so much time to do the filming and editing. Thank you, Bobby
MHP I sure enjoy your you tube videos. I am trying hydroponics on a very small scale, but it is fun just growing things. Appreciate your efforts.
A sincere thanks for your videos. Found them a few years ago and have been using my Dutch bucket system ever since.
Bobby, your videos are better than Hollywood comedies. Thank you for your inspiring and entertaining messages. You're awesome : )
LOL, thank you kindly. Bobby
So glad to see you back
So glad you are back!
I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. They are great and really helped me get started. Thank you so very much for giving your time, knowledge, and experience.
Oh my! Just beautiful! Do you notice growing season being shorter? I tried cauliflower once in a raised bed and got some the size of a regular canning jar lid and multiple football sized. Awesome!
Im glad to see you have returned. Its like seeing light during eternal darkness.
glad u are back bobby we missed u brother
Best Dutch Bucket channel on RUclips, real, to the point, full stop
Thank you kindly.
So So So happy to see you back!!!
I've missed you!! Good to see you are still growing!
That’s awesome. And what a great idea to use a mixing trough.
Just love you content, Bobby, I know how hard it is to create this kind of quality video and really appreciate your willingness to share your wisdom on this subject. Thank you!
You're welcome Paul. It does take some work, but it can be very rewarding. Knowing folks appreciate the effort really helps.
This is AMAZING! Never heard of this before and will go thru ALL VIDEOS! Loved the “BIG, BAD, BODACIOUS!”
I was surprised too, never knew a cauliflower could get so big. Thanks, Bobby
WOOOOOHOOOOOO. Now THAT'S a cauliflower.
How would you recommend growing root vegetables? Carrots, onions, potatos, turnips etc.
Amazing ..I love the stuff pickled with jalapenos and carrots .
Thank you so much for your videos! You've inspired me to start my own system.
Instead of using an entire paint strainer for each bucket, have you considered just covering the inner pvc elbow with a cut piece of a paint strainer?
That way you could use one strainer for a bunch of buckets.
Thats what i thought but if it clogs at that point the water cant get out
great to see you creating again.
That cauliflower is huge omg haha so beautiful!
WOWZA that is one huge cauliflower!
Hey heyday Bobby you are back! Glad to see you again Maestro. Hi from Panamá 🇵🇦
Howdy from southside Virginia ! Bobby
Excellent !!!! I just got into a situation where I can start trying your bucket approach. Can't wait to get started.
Wow, that is amazing. Can't wait for the weather to warm up to get our buckets and containers out...
Thanks. Had a couple of inches of rain today, ground is a muddy mess. And forecast is for overnight temps in upper 30's middle of next week. Come on Summer ! Bobby
Thats awesome! Huge big old head of Cauli. Love it.
Love you MHP one of the best Gardeners on You Tube!
Sure is nice to hear from you again. I'm an old codger that is enjoying this dutch bucket system.
Mine is outside and having to adjust for that.
Maybe I coax sweetie pie into a small greenhouse next year. I suppose you are using Masterblen
Yes sir, the only hydroponic fertilizer I use is Masterblend, plus the Calcium Nitrate and Epsom Salt required to form a complete nutrient mix. Thanks, Bobby
That is shonuff a Monster Cauliflower! Awesome job done Mr. Bobby! Stay safe over there!
Thank you sir, doing my best. Bobby
"biggest, baddest, bodacious" perfect description for that cauliflower.
You're the hydroponics King! Been watching your videos for years and you've set the standard. Now I'd like to see y'all eat that big thing! Have a califlower party and make a homemade dip. 🤗
I have to do this again and invite all the youtubers over for a cauliflower party..... and maybe some homemade wine tasting ! That would be fun. Thanks, Bobby
Great to see a video from you. Missed your videos. Copied alot of your techniques and they all are working. Thank you
Thanks Harry, that's good to hear. Bobby
That is a monster cauliflower I can hardly wait for more videos, I hope that you and Susan are doing well.
Wow! I can't wait until I have saved enough money to build me a high tunnel green house. I just planted my cauliflower last week. I am growing snowball that were started from seed in soil blocks. Congratulations! And good job! Vivian Ann on the side of the mountain in northeast Tennessee
Thank you!!!! I'm in the category you described, know about it but haven't tried it yet. I am going to get set up over the summer with the hopes of a fall crop in Tucson, AZ Looking forward to many more of your videos.
Amazing Bobby! So glad you are back. As Always love your video!!
Thank you kindly, Bobby
Nice to see you again Bobby! I thought you had quit making videos. I see I am still subbed. I clicked the bell so I would get notified.
I just planted 20 dutch bucket tomato plants this past Friday. They are doing well.
Kevin

I have a small DWC set-up in my basement, and now that I have seen this, I'm dying to try Cauliflower in it. Thanks for the inspiration :)
I was surprised at how well it did, very impressed. Bobby
Lord have mercy is right! I am new to hydroponics and have been video hopping and love this vid! So thankful for all the great content out there. Subscribed!
Glad it was helpful! Thx.

Very nice head of cauliflower. Thank you for the video!
Much appreciated, Bobby
Greta to see you posting back again ! Your videos have helped a lot. Love from India 🇮🇳
Great to see another video Bobby! I planted one to try in the GH this year in a dutch bucket, but I'm afraid I planted it too late, now it's getting warm so the heat will probably do it in here in central fl. Thanks so much for posting this, will definitely more of these this fall!!!! Looking forward to more videos from you, keep up the great work!!! w.
Wow, thanks for sharing, really enjoy your work.
So nice to see you again!
Thank you kindly. Bobby
That looks amazing. I watch your method of duch buckets and trying to replicate yours. I love your videos and keep making more they are awesome
Let me know how it goes for you. Bobby
Hi Bobby, another great video of a job well done. i finally built my dutch bucket system this year. I copied your system and have 20 buckets and a 50 gallon tank. Everything is doing very well but I have a question. Right now my plants are going through 50 gallons every 4 days, do I still use the same formula for my tomatoes every time I fill it or can I cut back some some things. Thanks for the help you've given in the past and welcome back
What I do occasionally is give the plants plain water, especially when it's extremely warm and they are using up so much solution. I'm not much on trying to maintain an exact ph or ppm, so I'll give the plants what I think they need at any given time. Much like people who are sweating and just want something to drink, I'll do the same with plants. Remember, you can go days without food. But going without water is a big problem. Hope that helps, Bobby
Definitely going to add this to my list for my next growing season. Might even try one indoors. Cheers!
Great video!
Hey! Wow ! I prototyped that Bush bean can many years ago.
Yum Yum Celery...and Cauliflower!
I've missed your videos!
Glad to see ya. Nice Job.
Glad to see a new post, We miss you, Lord will'in you'll make more
