Couple of hints: 1/ If you mix in your acid to your stock water before adding in your nutrients you will probably only need about half of the acid you are using now. All due to ion chemistry which I won't get into now. Just ensure your plants are not hit with too low a pH between adding your acid & adding your nutrients. 2/ Always add your calcium nitrate to your stock water before adding in your Hydrogrow. Again, it is all to do with ion chemistry reactions, but swapping around the order of adding your 2 separate nutrient solutions to your stock tank will result in less calcium coming out of solution over the next couple of days. Don't just take my word for it, try it & see for yourself :) 3/ Use a short stiff hair broom instead of PVC pipe to mix up your nutrients. Really easy! Keep up the entertaining vids!

Love you girls, keep up the good work and smile! ♥️

Ya'll should get one of those stirrers that's used for paint it would stir your nutrients in better and faster. Just found your channel a few days ago so far I've loved every one so far. Keep up the great work.

best channel in the world , never stop i luv u guys

wow, I wish I saw your video earlier. I want build one in australia too. nice videos and very detailed. thank you so much.

I look at you and I see your Mothers Smile but, when I look at your Mom I see your smile. Isn't that ust wonderful? Thanks for sharing your Greenhouse activities, we very much enjoy watching your content. Don't forget to create a "why we built a greenhouse and how we did that" video!

Man i luv this channel i like how you explain everything Cheer's from Australia

Nice Love the setup

thank you very much guys really needed this video it was such great help

You guys are such an inspiration

Thanks for another awesome and informative video. 🥰

Excellent video. MAM, DAD, and Daughter are great precision greenhouse growers

This was incredibly wholesome.

Nice Love the setup ❤❤❤❤🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

I have no questions yet, but I want to say that you & your mom are beautiful ❤. Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to learn more.

Thank you Katy, thank you Devon

Thanks Devon & Kathy.. 👍👍👍

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks

That is one clean operation.

Hi devon. Nice crop and dutch bucket system

Hi Katy, Hi Devon, I preper my own stock solution and it doing very well. The EC for tomatoes 2.5 is peefect also cucumber doing fine. Also I"m using filttered water (100 ppm)

Wow really so beautiful grin house vary good job

Nice video! I do my Dutch buckets pretty much the same way except I use Masterblend, calcium nitrate and epson salt. I also recirculate my nutrients. Thanks.

Thank you for another great video. Can you please, show us how greenhouse winter heating system work and which type of grow lights used?

Looks like a interesting video I'll be watching the rest later. Just subscribed.

Really cool!

Well I definitely learned that in addition to having the wrong nutrient blend, I had my EC way too low for tomatoes 🍅. It has been a struggle ! Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Very beautiful hydro farm! 😍🤑🥰

One of our dog's names is Petunia. Can't wait to see a market video. Thank you.

Thanks for pretty cool video. Greeting from Tajikistan:))

I love your video. Thanks for sharing this. From malaysia

Amish country is awesome! The furniture is a little pricey but everything they have is top notch quality.

Hi 😊 Lovely channel 💚 subscribed today :D Im starting a small indoor lettuce and wheatgrass farm. Im completely new to this. May i ask: -In hydroponics how do the roots get oxygenated? Would it be better to use fog misters or bubble stones will suffice? -What nutrients do lettuces/wheatgrass need in the water? Do all plants require common nutrients but some need added special nutrients?

Hi, EC is always 2.3 from beginning till end? Ty!

Hello from Kentucky!

one more question, where did you find the filters?

Hi, very fine video! A big help for me. But one question: What do you change at nutrient formula when tomatoes etc. are fruiting? Regards from Germany

Hi Devon tuned in to watch your video and see you’re beautiful smile!!!☺️☺️

Love your videos from Canada ! How do you recirculate your dutch bucket water if your drain line is laying on the floor ? Thanks

Would love to visit your farm

Devon do you have a video on the simple timers?? Like the timer in this video.. i,am guessing it,s a progressive timer..on so long every so often. your greenhouse has diffrent systems and timers and i,am kinda confused. I,am thinking the bato buckets are on the simple timer and run off the black stock tanks where the channels run off the big tank set in the ground and the blue tank system??

Amazing and so good of you to share..can I ask was it trial and error with mixing and with the leaf vegetables adding iron.did you get advice .im asking because what you and your family have done and are doing in such a short time is amazing especially all the success your having .love the video again thankyou so much for all your effort it has such an uplifting affect as well as being informative..take care devon and love to the family from over the pond 😆 paul x

I have a "First Time" Dutch Bucket System and am having a BOAT LOAD of problems. My PH is between 550-680 all the time. BUT, by TDS seems to be off by a lot, I mixed the Nutrients Master Blend. at 2grm per gal, Calcium Nitrate at .8grm per gal and epsom salts at 1.2grm per gal. I have a 34 Gal Sump and am mixing 80 grm of M.B., 25 grm of C. N. and 40grm of Epsom salts. All my tomatoes. Zucchini and Cucumbers are wilting. What am I doing WRONG? Thanks,

When you mix the nutrients for the nfts, do the other veggies do well on the lettuce formula? Like the cabbages and fennel?

Nice setup

You mentioned you adjust the nutrients after the tomato gets it's 3rd flower cluster. I am using the Master blend mix 4-18-38. I am wondering if you have any experience with this and any recommended nutrient adjustments after flower to get the best harvest. I am currently doing the kratky method and starting to set up Dutch bucket system. Mixed at 2g-1g-2g per gallon.Using the same mix ratio for lettuce and peppers as well. Would love your input. Thanks for the content you share.

Wow...very useful information..can please share the details of nutrients given to the tomatos by stage wise...that means from the seedling stage to harvesting stage...

Do you recycle the drain water from the Bato buckets back through the system or do you discharge it to the drain? Thank you for the videos.

My name pandu from Indonesia, i always support you Devon,

Thank you. I love you devan. I love you katy 🤗🤗

Hi ! Teacher Devon i v watched this vedio. So knowledgeable Love from Pakistan ❤

How do you get the water that drains from the dutch buckets that are sitting on the ground back to the nutrition tub? Are they on some kind of pump, or is there a slope to your concrete?

I noticed that when your getting water together for the initial dilution I think you mentioned "warm water" is that correct? If yes does it help the mixing the dilute? I haven't tried doing that but it makes sense to me rather trying to do the same in cold water. Good job

Very good 🥰🥰

Hello what nutrients you added to you plant as lettuce or tomatoes thabks you

I have a super small (3 plants) tomato Dutch bucket system in my basement under a grow light. I did the first set up following your recommended nutrients but here I am 3 weeks later and my nutrients read the same on my ec meter. Do I just keep using the water until the ec drops? So I need to add more or change out the water? I don’t see any algae growth currently.

I always buffer water PH to 6.1-6.3 first. Then I dissolve the NPK 4-18-38 with water and add to tank. Then I dissolve Epsom salt and add to tank. Then dissolve the Calcium Nitrate and add to tank, then measure PH again and buffer to 6.1-6-3. Then measure EC to target 2.6.2-8 for mature plants or 3.2-3-3 for young plants.

Again good day God bless your family😊😊😊😊😊😊

This is the first video I found of you guys and I'm impressed with your setup. Where are you based out of? You mentioned yoder and amish country, would you be talking about the amish community in Yoder, KS? If so, I'm not too far from there and would love to come visit your greenhouse

I have a question that concerns growing tomatoes in a dutch bucket system our tomatoes are at a height of 7-8 feet we've had blooms and good growth early on at the lower levels of the plants. We prune and maintain our plants twice a week. problem we are having is very few blooms and no production on the upper levels of the plants. Should we cut the tops of our plants to encourage more blooms and production? any suggestion would be appreciated.

Will the PVC leach toxins? Much appreciate your suggestion. Thank you.

Hello dear Devon and Katy! Every day I look forward to your wonderful videos! You are fantastic! I have a question! Do you use tap water or osmotic water for Dutch buckets?

Hi niece very informative vedio can we use this solution in normal soil?

I like laying over the vining plants as they get too tall. It takes planning to move the hanging twine.

maam is there anything different we use this mixing in tropical place like here in philippines?

I am just soaking all this knowledge in!! It seems like the same nutrient mix for most things you grow.

Im trying to grow purple bok choy in a hydro kit, I have floragrow, florabloom and floramicro. I'm testing the water with my PPM and PH (5-6) Monitor seems ok. But the leaves shrivle up and sometimes the tip dry up... im soo lost, could heat be the issue?

Does your water pump (in nutrient water) run continuously 24/7 or there is specific time intervals that you use to manage water supply?

please let me know what fertiliser materials your are using?

Hi Devon The high tunnel I built is almost ready to go. I was set the dutch buckets up first so this video is spot on Good Job! but 1 question How does the feed solution get back into the 100 gallon rubbermaid tank ? and do you pump it back? Yall just jump into the technical aspect because The next thing is the white grow trough's so that means I keep trying to see how it's made. it looks like 1 5/8 pipe stands and maybe 1 3/8 runners across the top. I bet your dad used the T connectors. Send me a message if you need a 20 ft hoop bender for you home greenhouse. It came fro bootstrap farmer. Oh and keep going I love this stuff. Mark

Hi ladies, Question, or sort of a question. I just got my first Crop King 10-36 system, and had a heck of a time building the table. I built it wrong by putting rails on the pole that the legs are attached to to, instead of on the legs themselves. Anyway, I fixed it. My question is, can you show me how the drain system is attached? I read the instruction's, but they do NOT do any justice in how it should look as I am trying to build it. Also, I am using to 100 gallon tub, do you think I should get the blue barrels for nutrients in the future? I'm using the Master Blend nutrients. I like how you mom mixes the nutrients separately, I'll start doing that. Love you guy's channel, keep up the great work!

What other plants can you use the tomatoe nutrient mix? I hate to think you have to make a separate mixture for each of the plants

hi,how long to change it?

Yes.. question. why do you string the cucumber up?

your parents are absolutely brilliant, with climate change getting far worse it will be people like them that will feed America.

Hello there I would like to get a better understanding on the ventura setup just off of the pump... is it a homemade or store bought item. Can you send me some links please?

Hey Devon! Don't known if it was said before but at what ppm/ec does your mom put the cucumbers at? and does she add anything to it as they grow? Also what variety are they? Thanks for all the great information! I love hydroponics and want to have my own greenhouse someday growing this way. Also being women in the industry is so inspiring!!🥰🥰

I have found soaking the screen filters in a dilute bleach solution cleans with the least effort. All new filter are now disc with a black housing, much less algae growth and a longer interval between cleaning.

👏👏👏👏👏

Really enjoy your channel. Do you have problems with cucumber pollination? I use a camel hair brush. Is there a better way or a plant that works in the greenhouse? Thanks!!

Hi Katy! Great video Devon! Cucumber question, Do you prune your cucumber plants for fruit growth promotion? Thanks for sharing. :)

Hi Have been watching your videos since 1week very much impressed with the dedication towards hydroponics farming , I just purchased a piece of land for agriculture as a startup , I have no idea in agriculture after watching your videos i have got some positive thoughts on hydroponics. Got few quires please reply it will be helpful 1.Need to know the system you are using is NFT or DWC 2. which one tastes better soil farming or hydroponics 3. what it the size of your green house setup

Hello ladies , what is the potassium nitrate formula for Tomatoes after 3rd bunching? Thank you, keep up the great work!

Beautiful setup! What strength fertilizer do you use for your pole beans?

Hey Katy, where do you get your chelated iron? The stuff I’m getting is pricy. The pump in the 100 gallon tank looks like a utility pump instead of a sump? Where to you get your (timers and those bulb filters) and how many Dutch Buckets do they supply nutrients to with the pressure that comes from a 1/3 hp pump? I am in the process for revamping my system and I may try that instead of using the pool pumps that I currently have in that house. Chuck

I am from Cambodia, I am really need these job and skills

what are those filters you cleaned up for?

hi devon, is this master blend?

please , where can I find square channel in Canada?

What is your bato bucket setting, recirculating or drain to waste? Really enjoy your videos, awesome

How do I know if my plants need a stronger mix?

What is your opinion on flushing the system occasionally? Booklets states as it's a must but I just feel like a business driven advice or just if you can't troubleshoot start over. Have you ever flushed the system?

Where do you buy your bato buckets and bobbins? Just found your channel and would like to grow hydroponic for my family.

Where do you get those inline filters?

Hi Ma’am! First I want to thank you about your sharing nice video. Question: Is it worth like to start like your project and how how much it cost? Thankfully.🌷

Hi, how often do you completely change the nutrient solution with that size of reservoir?

What water cycle do you use for your tomatoes?

How do you pollinate your plants?

hi when do you start pruning the leaves on your tomatoes, what tips can you share. I'm having a challenge in that some of my tomatoes start ripening when they are still small - any tips on this? thanks

Hi where do you get your calcium and hydro grow thanks Carmen
