@johny9101 2 ай бұрын

The containers are a snug fit, besides they are filled with coco noir and perlite so no sunlight should really penetrate through. For extra protection you could probably use aluminum foil to cover the lid and a heat insulation mat around the reservoir

@@healinghobbies That’s great to know; Btw, I tried everything you did in your video and it failed; but, there was one thing I didn’t do that you did which I believe led to my downfall- I didn’t have the $ to buy the coco/perlite mix you used and had to do something with my beet seedlings, so I used a peat moss mix potting soil instead with rocks and the soil got soaked and the plants withered; Right now, I just put the beet plants in a pool noodle leaving the roots exposed to the nutrients in a can, and they’re actually doing great, but I have to do something because they can’t grow beets where they’re at; I’m trying to figure out how and where to get that mixture that will hold up to the nutrients…… thanks !! ; )

This is a great video. Especially for a newbie wanting to grow root vegetables the krachy way. My only question is I noticed when pouring your nutrients from your 5 gallon pail (yellowish tinge to the nutrients) into your styrofoam container. You used all of your 5 gallons of nutrients. Then you topped up the remaining portion and it appeared to be just water because it did not have the yellow tinge to it like your nutrients do. So what size container is your styrofoam box how many gallons or liters. Judging by the size of your Solo cups that you're using as net cups and the amount of holes in your lid I'm assuming it's approximately about 9 or 10 gallons. Approximately how much extra water did you put in with your original 5 gallon of to top up the system? I'm just afraid if I put in my container which is 10 gal two 5 gallon pails of nutrients that are over full strength like that. I may burn my seedlings. Thank for any comments in advance.

@johny9101 2 ай бұрын

Did you ever figure out? I overlooked it but now that I’m checking it does seem like he replenished the rest of the missing space with plain water.

@bmwalker5816 2 ай бұрын

I came to the same conclusion as you. Although it appears that he's mixing the nutrient solution a little on the weak side. The recommendation for 10 gallons of water would be approximately 32 grams of Master blend tomato formula judging by him using a heaping 15 mm measuring spoon I calculated it out to be approximately 24 g maybe 25 of Master blend. So he's not far off but it is a little on the weaker side. That being said I did try it over the winter here and it did not go well. How to get a grow tent kept the temperature below 70° and had a lot of root rot. The beats never got really large but the leaves did so managed to get lots of greens. Thanks for your reply.

Prom my perspective and with all due respect, if it’s raining that often where you live, I don’t see the convenience in growing hydroponically. But regardless of that, I think taping a dome of aluminum foil onto the cups could provide sufficient protection to rain 👍🏼
