I got a hydroponic unit in June (Naimp from Amazon). Very similar to the Aerogarden but for under £50 (approx $60). I have a Chilli Pepper plant in mine that literally took off. Planted the seed on the 12th June and it was touching the light which I had raised twice. Pruned it back tonight. It amazes me how quickly things grow in these units. I have in mine the Chilli, a Basil plant which is huge but I've been using the leaves already, a Dill - also using the leaves, a lettuce which wants to take over the whole thing. Good job it's warm here in the UK just now - salad's on the menu tonight. Got rocket which is coming along nicely, spinach which I started off by soaking the seeds for 2 days then putting them between wet kitchen roll and in a ziplock bag. Three seeds germinated so they're now in the unit. Other seeds are germinating so I'll probably do them the traditional way in pots. I have a greenhouse too. I also have chives, a rosemary and two cherry tomatoes. I'm also germinating cilantro the same way as the spinach but they're slower in germinating although two seeds are showing signs so far. This has been so successful (my first attempt at hydroponics) I'm going to get a second and possibly third unit. Having fresh veg and herbs all year round is really great. The third unit I plan to grow only strawberries in but not from seed. For anyone that loves cooking I really recommend getting a hydroponic unit. I'm loving mine. Subscribed.

This was amazing help. So many videos out there about transplanting from aerogarden to soil, but you walked through exactly what I was looking for; moving soil sprouts to aerogarden pods. Thank you!!!

Thank you for showing how you prune/trim your pepper plants. I would never imagine taking that much off as it seems wasteful, but it makes sense once you explained and showed the result weeks later. As always, useful and informative stuff you put out!

About 20 mins in I noticed your excitement and enthusiasm for growing peppers, so cool.

The way he cleans the roots is the same as how I wash my sneakers.

Excellent documentary. Highly recommended especially for me the beginner of this hobby. Thank you so much as it has saved me time and bad experiences. Well done. I have subscribed as well.

You did a great job putting that baby in the used Aerogarden pod! Thanks for the videos.

Great video this morning Khang. Informative and simple especially as to maintaining plant "smallness under an AeroGarden setup. Noticed one of your successful radish grows in the background. Should be enough daylight here in a few minutes to step out and check out garden progress up here. Happy Gardening! -Bob...

Most interesting aerogarden person in youtube for sure!!!! please make more videos. I learned SO much from this one from you. Would watch all your future videos whatever you upload. So super helpful. thanks so much!!!!!!

After seeing the pruning you did I got the courage to do the same , thank you

Don't understand hydrophonic aero garden ? Busy today. I hope to watch tonight

You obviously use hydroponics but also you grow in potting soil/potting medium in regular pots. Wanted to know your preferred soil mix. Thanks!

Great video, full of great advice for gardening both generally and in the aerogardens. What's your PH tester recommendation these days?

Oh man I wish I saw this earlier! I grew mine too bunched together!

Great video

I had no idea I followed you on KZfaq. I’m currently growing your peppers

This was really helpful! Thanks.

Good info. Once the plant started flowering, did you have to hand pollinate?

Thanks for this video. I have also watched many of your hydroponic videos. Please I need help on lightning my grow tent. How many hours per day do I have the lights on?. Do hydroponics plants need to rest at night Thanks for your anticipated assistance

Very informative, thank you so much

Great talk through! Thank you!

blow with air to clean roots faster better ive noticed

You are amazing!

I'm all for cheaper alternatives. This guy rocks

Walmarts got a 2 gallon setup very cheap.

Very informative thank you. Is 3 inch net cup ok for pepper using kratky method?

Thanks for everything that you do! Do you have recommendations for lower-priced Aerogarden alternatives?

Can we do the same approach with tomatoes and cherry tomatoes?

Do you have any idea that the led lights will last? And are they replaceable? How much does the replacement cost? Thank you, always enjoy your vids.

I’ve seen dogs and cats get facials, but I’ve never seen a plant get a bubble bath 😂

I would cut of the brown roots

Would the smaller harvest model ,12” grow height, be enough to support one plant? I have two, and want to try the purple super hots, and red chili pods I got from Aerogarden, don’t want to waste them in too small of a unit.

I am growing jwala peppers in my aero garden. They are growing so fast and tall. Can I keep them in it. I noticed that they don’t do well transplant into the ground. These are Indian peppers. See many buds. Should I trim them on the top ?

What is the plant in the pot behind the aerogarden?

When the plant is bigger and you're losing water every day, do you top up with more prepared solution or just water?

Link for dyno?

Khang your videos are helpful as always! I just can't justify spending $300 on a small aerogarden unit (and this is for basic?!) I mean a 2x4x6 tent can be had at $70, a couple of shop lights for $20 each, and a 5 gallon bucket for $3. Why spend premium for something that can be done more cost efficient with possibility to upgrade (better light, resovoir tank, etc.) Am I missing out here?

I couldn’t imagine being that rough with my plants, haha. Great video! Where do you get your seeds from? Need to get some white birds eye myself!

Can I use soap to clean roots that are growing algae???

I’ve gotten many flowers, but zero peppers. What are the issue and solution? Help please! Thank you

Very informational video.. I was just wondering why you put very little nutrients in the beginning in the aerogarden?

How many peppers do you think you could fit in an aerogarden without making competition too high?

Hi Mr. Khang , I never ever gardaning. I inspiared your '''youtube channel'' for hydroponic plant grow. I am trying to start by small amount of plants at apartment building. Anyhow, my question is , may I use Mirackle gro for hydrodroponic plants?

Hi Khang! If i wanted to make my own "food" for my aerogarden, what would you suggest? I am growing lettuce, herbs.. that's it... not a pepper person! Thank you!

After cleaning out my Aerogarden if a Starracha Hornet that simply refused to produce pods my pump stopped working. I cleaned it out pretty well with a faucet sprayer to get all the sand and grit out but that should t hurt it. Any ideas of what could have happened? I ordered a new one off Amazon but also filed a claim with AG. Just want to prevent it from happening again.

Why 5.9 pH?

Can’t believe your almost out of white Thai! Ive got my first ones growing atm! It’s only about 5-7 peppers and need them to ripen to send seeds out to folk but so can’t wait to try them!!! When would you say is best to pick them for seeds Khang? Just wanted to be sure. I’ve got a KSLS going to but it’s about the size of the one u just put in the areogarden so it’ll be a while lol doesn’t help the areogardens light is higher coz I’ve got a a chilli plant and couple tomatoes waiting to go out in it lol

Why not just use aerogarden nutrients? Just curious

thanks for the video. would you have been able to create clones from a lot of those trimmings?

I’m having such a hard time doing hydroponic. Bought everything needed. My problem is starting the seed they get leggy so quick, I have them in the cubbies in the dark nothing helps😞

Can you start from the unit?

@khang Starr I noticed you didn't use Dyna-gro's bloom nutrients. I am new to hydroponics and I am noticing some people don't use bloom nutrients for vegetables. Is it necessary to use bloom? I seen a video where you used Aerogardens liquid plant food to grow cucumbers and nothing else. So are we able to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers without bloom?

Can i just cut out a cube from the rockwool wall insulation sheets?

Hallo Khang. What is your water temperature inside the aerograden unit?

What brand of rock wool do u use?

How many pepper plants would you recommend for that size Aerogarden? 1? 3?

5.9 ph? Why below 6.4

Never seen anybody move it from the ground to an aerogarden, usually it's the other way around. Like, why would you do it this way?

Thanks for the video, very informative. But maybe it’s just me, but to purchase a $300+ unit for one pepper plant seems a little over the top, I know it’s a hobby. Good luck to you!
