Fan 4 crisp, Pump & Bin... this is GOLD advice! I'm binging your videos before we take plunge and set up Gardyn tonight after moving into our new home. Still have unpacking to do, but figured, why wait till all of that is done. We're hoping by the time we are done getting settled, we at least have some true leaves to enjoy. I got a lot of value from this video, thank you!!!
Just do it! It doesn't take that long to set up😀. Once set up, you can forget about it for a few weeks and let it do its thing (except for adding water/nutrient). In case you want to keep it simple. Gardyn also works just fine without all the bells and whistles (fan, pump, H202, hydroboost, ect.).
Thank you for your beautiful channel and presence. I just ordered my iHarvest today! I have been working with an Aerogarden farm, but have quickly - in less than a month - realized that my plants need more room! I am so beyond excited and your videos have really inspired me The iHarvest is so beautiful and I love the sound of running water (I have little water fountains all around my house). There is never enough water sounds :D
Ohhh can you please do a video about how you did your strawberries!? All great advice! I can not wait to get an iHarvest! I just don’t have space at the moment but hope to soon!
Wonderful video. I have beautiful tomato plants and hot pepper plants growing, yet I cannot get them to flower. Any advice would be so appreciated!!! 😊
I am just getting interested in growing my veggies inside. You commented to keep soil out of your home if growing hydroponics. I have a ton of indoor plants. Just to clarify (because I know nothing about this) I could compromise my indoor veg/hydroponic system with house plants growing in soil, correct? I have not heard this anywhere else and this seems like huge thing to know!!!
If you have been having your house plants for a while and there is no sign of pests, I don't think it is an issue. If you buy a new plant, it might be a problem unless you quarantine that plant for a period of time. Some people are lucky and don't have any problem. I had a huge infestation so I am very cautious nowadays. Safest bet is to keep house plants away from the hydroponic system. May be in a different area of the house.
Thank you for your channel. I’m new to hydroponics and started to wonder if you can’t grow flowering or fruiting plants in the same system with leafy greens at the same time? I’m assuming not because of different plant foods. Have you been able to accomplish it? Sure would be nice if the tank and system could be split in half with leafy greens on one side fruiting on the other half.
You can definitely grow cucumbers, eggplants, strawberries, tomatoes... with leafy green. No need to dedicate a separate tower for just fruity plants. You just need to adjust the nutrients level up a bit to accommodate them when bearing fruits. That's why Gardyn include a mix of tomatoes, peppers and leafy greens in their kit. Just that if you want to optimize fruiting plants, it is best to adjust the nutrient level to their needs.
I love your flowers! I'm growing medicinal flowers in mine and haven't found others that are growing so many flowers. Any tips specific for flowering plants compared to lettuce/greens?
Depending on the flower, some may be harder to force blooming unless light is well controlled. 12 on and 12 off is usually a good approach. Make sure they are covered for the 12 off daily cycle to ensure ambient room light does not interfere with the dark period. Also be sure to use hydroponic fertilizer and it may be wise to check water PH from time to time. Often you can find specialized fertilizer for blooming cycles. Feeding plants would be another great topic for the channel.
@@bhosken thank you for the excellent suggestion. I ssly forgot to mention about the lighting cycle. I have 16 hours on and 8 hours off. I will do a video on feeding next time.
Hello. Thank you for the video. Can you plant vegetables with high nutritional requirements together with lower nutritional requirements plants like eggplant and lettuce in gardyn at the same time ? How do you meet each nutritional requirements,thank you
Hello, I think it is doable. I have planted lettuces with tomatoes before and they were doing well. Cucumbers however did not produce much. I am not sure if it was because of the low ppm or the cucumber variety at the time. I will have to do an experiment. I have not grown lettuces and eggplants in the same system. Eggplants and cucumbers need ppm around 1,800-2,200. You can try growing them together at about 1,500 ppm and see how they turn out. Have fun!
@Nicole Weltman hmm I used AG to grow cherry tomatoes and they did fine. Sometimes it depends on the seedlings too. They might get growth stunned and some type of diseases for some reason.
@Nicole Weltman Same thing happened to me but it was second feeding and seedlings started to burn and curl. As soon as I noticed that I flushed the reservoir and put in less nutrients and they are doing good now
This might be a silly question, but can you use these systems with success even in a low-light basement situation? I just got my first gardyn for my office and am already dreaming about getting a system like the iHarvest bc you can grow squash.
@@plant4table thanks, do you remember what the product was called? Trying to search for it Love your channel and plants btw, buying a Gardyn with your code!

I wish I could get cucumbers like that- how did you do that? Mine were skinny on top and round at the bottom and I only got 2 cucumbers out of the whole thing! Please help!
I think it is depends on the variety too. Make sure you choose the ones that is prolific and self pollinate so that you don't have to manually pollinate the female flowers. Buy F1 varieties. The seeds might be expensive but so worth it.
I used coconut choir from a reputable company and immediately got root flies in my indoor grow room. Never using soil ever again! You should never use tap water. Ever. Never ever. No way. RO only.

What a nice indoor garden, beautiful flowers and great vegetables💚
The fish are so cute!

I plan to do an episode on Strawberries
@@plant4table can't wait! I really enjoy your videos. I am new to hydroponic systems and these videos are really helpful and fun to watch!
Thank you so much. That is very helpful for a new hydroponics grower in the UK
Beautiful garden! Awesome tips.
Thanks for the advice! I'm going to use these tips.
Thank you for sharing! Blessings to all in love and light!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼
Wonderful video. I have beautiful tomato plants and hot pepper plants growing, yet I cannot get them to flower. Any advice would be so appreciated!!! 😊
What kind of fertilizer do you use? I meant plant food.
Finely I found you 😊 you are the best for hydroponic
Awesome plant garden Lan & great tips! Good job!!! Love it!!!

Lovely presentation and very helpful. Thank you.

I love your flowers! I'm growing medicinal flowers in mine and haven't found others that are growing so many flowers. Any tips specific for flowering plants compared to lettuce/greens?
I did not do anything different. I guess the right temp and humidity help. I also dead head spent flowers.
Depending on the flower, some may be harder to force blooming unless light is well controlled. 12 on and 12 off is usually a good approach. Make sure they are covered for the 12 off daily cycle to ensure ambient room light does not interfere with the dark period.

Great content thank you ❤
What about filtered water instead of tap water
How much does ur water and hydro bill run
Thanks!
Do leafy greens tend to bolt sixty days after they germinate or after you start harvesting? Thank you for the clarification!
From my experience, lettuces usually bolt 60-70 days after gemination.

@Nicole Weltman
Was your reservoir filled with water to the max when adding nutrients?
@Nicole Weltman
Same thing happened to me but it was second feeding and seedlings started to burn and curl. As soon as I noticed that I flushed the reservoir and put in less nutrients and they are doing good now
Have you tried the LettuceGrow system?
No I have not
how much is your electric on average
I have all cost broken down in this video ruclips.net/video/H6KLna0Eswo/видео.html
Could you please post a link, or name the black replacement pots that you’re using for Gardyn? Thanks!!!
You can search "2 inch net cup" on Amazon. I also made a video about modifying the Gardyn pod 😀
@@plant4table Thank you!
This might be a silly question, but can you use these systems with success even in a low-light basement situation? I just got my first gardyn for my office and am already dreaming about getting a system like the iHarvest bc you can grow squash.
Ofcourse you can. I have all my hydroponic systems in the basement, no light.
Do you use a water heater? My water is about 18-19 Celsius which seems a bit low for my basil. How did you add to your IHarvest?
I dont use a water heater. I put my water in a container at room temperature over night before I add it to the resevoir for the plants
Where do you get the container for the water?
I got those bins from Home Depots and Lowes
@@plant4table thanks, do you remember what the product was called? Trying to search for it
