“I drank the coffee first.” Love it!

this video reminds me of youtube early days. videos to the point. no pandering. no bull. awesome.

Finally a person I trust made this experiment. Thank you, Tikki! 🌷❤️

Most seed starting mix is meant for germination and will contain a certain amount of inert material that inhibits mold growth. It doesn't usually contain nutrients which are usually added when they are transplanted to soil. Some people enrich the soil before transplanting. The hydroponics mix definitely had an advantage over both the soil and water because it was the only one that provided any nutrients.

This was very helpful saves me so much time experimenting the same thing, finally someone shows a comparison of the three! I was shocked the soil one didn't grow as much, interesting! Thank you!

"I drank the coffee first"... I love your personality! Thx for sharing

Thanks for making an updated video. I love it when you do this particular experiment.

“I drank the coffee first”😭

I am new to hydroponic gardening. I truly appreciate your videos, showing the different grow methods and results for each - fascinating to see the actual results and the comparisons. Keep growing! Really like your content! Happily subscribed!

I’m enjoying your videos so much. Keep it up with these experiments!

Your experiments with hydrophonics are really very educative

I am sold! I am planning to get my lettuce going in a nutrient solution then trans plant to a container with soil. Thank you for your video, nicely done.

This was a GREAT experiment,gave me a very accurate idea of what the differences are,as I am new to the concept of hydroponics..👍👍

CUTE WITH THE CLASSICAL MUSIC ABOUT THE GROWTH!

You're my new favourite. You're hilarious! 😂 You got a new subscriber here

Great science experiment!! I would love to try this at home with my children. Thanks for the effort and time.

Your channel is a HUGE blessing to all of us who want to prep for our families so ty!♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸

Thank you Tikko for your consistency! Super cool!!

love your videos. You make growing stuff exciting

Wow congrats on going viral! Your videos are always so thorough and smart. Thanks for sharing all your fun garden experiments.

Yep, thank you for doing the experiment, just what I was hoping to see, thank you for your interest and helpful video.

You must be a teacher as your profession! Best channel out there on this!

👏👏Thanks for another great video! Awesome experiment! I can’t wait to try this as well. Never again will I toss lettuce stumps.

Thanks for doing the experiements, the soil finding was particularly interesting. Hopefully my lettuce will grow so well :)

You are funny. I am sure you are a beloved teacher of all students.

Tried this too! Thanks for your time!

Very enjoyable experiment and video! I like the way you think. Thank you for showing this experiment!

I loved your experiment. I’m surprised the plain water lettuce did just as well as the one with the plant food. All in all great review. Good job 👏👍

Love experiments, good job repeating it with pairs

Great experiment, thank you for doing this.

I look forward to seeing your videos. I always learn something new!

Thank you for doing these experiments for us and saving us time....your information is invaluable.

Great info!! Working on my stumps today👍🏾

You are a godsend! I can’t wait to throw back some coffee so I can try this!

Nice Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for!

I loved your methodology! You convinced me to keep at it. I loved the music and your light commentary. Some of these videos the people talk too much!!! Thank you.

Excellent instructor👍❤️

Awesome video. Thinking about growing my own lettuce and u gave me an idea to grow then in water vs soil and remind myself to keep the stumps. Fun experiment 4 me to try! Thanks

Thank you Tikki. I have done the same with water and solution but not so controlled so there was rotting. It never made it to my salad bowl in the past 6 months doing it. The same was done with celery, cabbage and onions. Thanks again, I have seen many of your videos. They are enjoyable and educational.

Thats awesome experiment. I am buying those grow cups and the growing medium you added to the water.

Nice job making an interesting video.

Instant subscribe. Great video!

Hahahahaha!!! I love this! I love you. You make me laugh. You are just natural! I am subscribing!!!

Wow, awesome video!

I am a new gardener, but I have noticed that all my plants in the garden grow better and faster after rain than when I water them with tap water every day. The secret are the minerals in the water :)

Great video!

Fantastic! excited to do this!

Thanks for this experiment.

Nice experiment and I also found some humor in here.

Thank you. It's lovely. I'll try it.

Different experiment ,very good ☺️ I love 😘

I love your videos and experiments!

please make more videos, I really enjoy watching it very informative.

I love your videos. You explain things well for me.

This video came just in time. I just bought a 4 pack of little gem romaine lettuce. I'm definitely trying this!

Waw, you are amazing. Thanks for sharing👍

That was awesome Thank you 🙏

I dug this. Thank You

Very interesting! Thank you!

Love your videos 💓

Thank you for this update!

Thank you for sharing!!!

Great vid,

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the links new sub here 🥰👍🏼

Very cool ! I'm doing the similar experiments at home with bok choy, which will grow back just like lettuce. Also made a mini DIY aquaponics system growing hot peppers in a tray placed atop a little fish tank that has live shrimp in it. The shrimp are called Amano shrimp (Japonica) which are kind of bottomfeeders and will eat algae, but they do appreciate a tasty snack once in a while. A few kernels of cooked rice or vegetables, they will devour anything, even a piece of cooked shrimp (little cannibals they are). My DIY system has no fancy bell syphons or valves. I cannibalized a very small (8 euro) aquarium filter that pumps the water up, like a mini pump rather than a filter, with a timer on 30 mins on, 30 mins off intervals. That way the plant roots get a lot of oxygen. Gravity does the rest. After poking a bunch of holes in the tray the water rains back into the aquarium. It would seem foolproof, w/o chance of flooding because the water simply has nowhere else to go but down and drip back into the mini fish tank. Sofar (A few weeks into the experiment) the peppers are doing remarkably well. Much better than the ones growing in soil on my balcony outdoors ! I hope to pick some fruits off these peppers in a month or two. The light source is just cheapo LED light fixtures from budget places here in Holland that would be comparable to Home Deput in the US. It seems to work with a cool white/warm white combo. You could theoretically grow food or plants on any bookshelf, anywhere.

Thankyou so much for your video

Thanks, it really makes me consider.

I drank the coffee first! That made me laugh out loud!!

I’m going to try this

Very cool.

Your channel is underrated.

Would you make a cup of that coffee for me please? I'm coming over to play plants with you! 😀 Seriously, took a look at my romaine tonight. Planting it tomorrow. Thanks Tikki! 🎈

Good job 👏

💕 Love it!!!!!

Thank you

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you!!!

Merci, c'est très clair.

It's around the 3rd week after planting where there's a soft ceiling for the lettuce in water vs the hydroponic solution.

Awesome! Now the final test would be quality and taste lol. I bet the one in solution is best? Either way great job. I like your coffee containers ...perfect fit lol.

great video! :)

I have just recently tried to grow lettuce from one I got from the store and well.. it did grow similar to the ones in the video and I just the other day placed it into the soil and I noticed a flower growing on it, and well... I have grown lettuce from seeds before, but I have never seen a flower bloom from it.

Thank you i am growing two as well

Awesome mam 👍😘

Greetings from Norway. I really like your entire hydroponic/Kratky series and have already subscribed to your channel. What was the tasting experience comparing with your Kratky lettuce from seeds?

thank you..

Wow! And soil is so expensive relative to water!

Thank you for this. I love the little wood thrushes that keep going to the feeder. They are adorable little song birds. I totally trying this. My turtle eats a lot of Lettuce, so if I can save a buck or 2 I am so down for it b
