I'm so jealous. I drive a truck for a living and it's killing me. Literally. This would be so fun. Watching plants grow, pruning and selling produce would be so rewarding, it wouldn't be a "job". Congratulations. You have my dream job.

I grew a hydroponic watermelon, and it tasted incredible.

Holly Molly that is some huge mater plants! Nope no weeds for me.. LMBO.. Those maters in the soil are massive no doubt but when you went into the hydro house those plants are freaking awesome!!! So amazing how the hydro blows soil away hands down. The darker color maters mean they pulling more Nigerien then the one beside it. This is normal so no worries! I am so happy for you folks! This is proof that hydro is the way to grow. Thanks so much for allowing me to been a part of helping y'all get this up and running. Pat each other on the backs on a job very well done! Stay safe up there! We cooking down here and lost a lot of plants. Hope you have a great week my friends!

Beautiful veggies! *This is such a positive uplifting vibe for any rainy day really. God must have blessed this man and his lovely widow for thier inspiring and educational videos, they are priceless.🌞

Hi, the thing you have to take into account is this, when you grow in hydroponics, the plants have what they want all the time, instead the plant having to look for what it needs in soil. They are so green, and like a jungle because you need to cut back on the nitrogen you are putting in. When i have been growing this way, i have find that the plants in water, well need 75% less fertilizer, but still grow 30% faster. Tomatoes taste so much sweeter, and everthing you grow can be done this way on your farm.

Aloha guys from here in American Samoa, a US territory in the south Pacific. I came upon your videos around last quarter of last and i found them very informative and i watch them to get some ideas and information on lettuce production especially because i grow them in a vertigro system in a 24 x 48 greenhouse. i'm leaning more and more now to a trough system. Thanks a lot for sharing those videos. Stay safe. Mahalo.

You guys are amazing family and hydroponic grow no doubt. I'm just starting my green house n Canadian compound in Algiers, watched 3 of your videos and feels like been doing this for years. Like the positive vibes coming from your side in each video of yours, easy way of explaining things, but most of all I like the comparison you run between hydroponic and soil grow. THANK YOU very much for doing these video, believe me you are making a big changes in our lives. Thanks again - Galal

Thank you for sharing your experience! Can't wait to see the progress you've made since posting this video!

Both 4 & 5 are stunning! One whole month's difference in age is really amazing. Since they grow & produce so quickly, you can extend your growing season I bet. Hope they taste as good as the inground tomatoes. All the plants in both houses look perfect - love the dark green tomatoes & the peppers. Thanks, Wayne for sharing the nutrient recipe - super kind of you! Have a great week guys.

WOW!! It hasnt been too long since I watched you setup and plant those slabs.

Awesome that's how my garden looks its so amazing,

Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate how you folks have taken your approach to a basic, simple level. it makes much more sense than trying to replicate what the hydro store tries to tell you which really pushes more product. Forgot to mention I run both soil (raised beds) outdoors and hydro greenhouse dutch buckets. I do both because I enjoy the outdoor garden but the hydro is a season extender for me. Next season I plan to use the slabs - I'm a much smaller operation but like the idea of slabs rather than dutch buckets - probably start with just one slab. Rather than NFT channels for strawberries, I think the slabs would be great. It's such a pain in the butt to be constantly chasing nutrient water, levels, temp, etc. I think the slabs would balance that out a bit. I already use MB for soil grown tomato fertilizer and love it but will likely adopt your barrel/pump approach and push nutrients through the drip tapes instead of just water. So thanks a bunch for the clear and simple review of your operation. I've learned a lot from you folks. Take care, God bless.

Another great video! The highlight of my day seeing your video updates and new grows! Thankyou for showing us your farm! What lovely people you are!

Fantastic, you folks are inspiring....love to get more information of spacing of the plants and the aisles in between for tomato, cucumber and peppers.

I hope you can keep this great farm producing. Its a great life you have.

Your plants look fantastic and very well loaded ,a great harvest is coming good luck we'll it's not luck but the hard work and effort you've put in 😊

You have to be excellent business people to keep such a big operation organized.... And, you seem like such nice people....thanks for the video..

Love the longer videos great for my lunch break.

I love the chemistry between you guys

Hi from Fiji, love what you guys doing. Learned so much from following your videos.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us guys 😀

Thanks I just exploring and I’ve learned a lot from your video.

Once again thank you for sharing your detailed results. Your info has helped me improve my planting 100 fold. I just can't tell you how much I appreciate your knowledge and time.

Coming to check again, very amaze of this plants that you have. Thank you and God bless

I always tell people not to worry, they'll ripen... I had a buddy that had over 100lbs on the outdoor vines and a snow storm was moving in with freezing temps for over a week. He was going to trash them because they were green. I said I'll take them and when they ripen I'll make you a bunch of sauce. I picked them all, put them in my south facing window and 2 weeks later I had less than one pound that rotted, and over 99 lbs of ripe tomatoes... Along with my toms (40+ lbs), onions, garlic, chilis, peppers, carrots, celery, and herbs from my garden, I made 120 gallons of sauce for me, my friends, and the food pantry...

Thanks you two, I really appreciate your videos! I am running a line of dutch bucket tomatoes this year but your success with the gro bags is motivating!

I would do a blind taste test. Don’t let people know which is which. When sending out to customers make a list of which tomatoes you are sending where. Mark your box with an H or S so you know. Can’t wait to hear your results. 😁

Great video guys as usual.

Great info, love keeping it simple

Hydro is fun and productive. Especially growing indoors

Great videos. Appreciate the tour.

The plants are so healthy and beautiful!

This is amazing!!

Amazing job guys!

i liked the old guy here very honest and simple grt work both

Must admit I preferred the Hydroponics setup to soil - much more control over pests and soil borne diseases. You are lucky with your water. My Hydroponics setup was bought second hand and because they were on a dodgy water supply they had to have a Water Deionizer. My farm we had a waterfall on a stream - where we collected it ensured water oxygenation as well.

Love your videos what a good job...CB put you right 😄👍

you can try a woolly sock over your mic on your camera to reduce the wind noise

Great job. Learned a lot.

Awesome, if I can get mine looking like that when I get started I would be happy, looks great, healthy plants.

Amazing job thank you for sharing

Thanks for the great video. Very informative

Love your videos and your sharing of real information. Wish I lived closer!

excited for you!

Thanks for the in depth comparison!

Nice Work, im hoping to learn plant training this spring, I usually just let them grow free but its so much cleaner and efficient hanging the plants.

Beautiful, good job guys.

Fantastic looking produce , well run stay safe you too 👍👏🇫🇷🇮🇪🐸

Thank you .the lettuce, peppers and tomatoes are perfect 👍👍👍

I think awesome! And the video noise was perfect, no worries there! Yall are the best! Thanks for taking the time to share ! Umm , i didnt know you were from Canadian! ?

Love your Vids from Aus. 😊

Blue lab instruments are definitely really good! I use them myself for my 3x 8m long NFT hydro systems I have :)

Thanks for this imformative video im learning.

Wonderful. Loved the video. From Oklahoma

Really love the videos

The darker one is the first plant of the row and takes more sun! More sun = more photosyntehsis. That's the reason why is more green than the closer plant.

Thanks for showing your methods of growing love from india

😲 so many tomatoes sooo beautiful!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow, I am super impressed with your crop, I am going to DIY my own hydroponic garden. of course, it will be on a much smaller scale since I live in a house with a small yard. I am so impressed with the tomato growth, I also want to plant some beefsteak, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, and zucchini. as well as sweet peppers, hydroponically maybe 1 or 2 of each plant. But I also really really want to do berries, I live in Ontario as well, and I was just curious, have you ever tried to grow strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries using the hydroponic method? I love to get your feedback on this.

Love this! I’ll have to check out more videos- maybe you’d have one on setting up the hydroponics?

very nice!! I hope to try on my farm.

Looking good!😊

Great video, so educative.

Wow! That is impressive. New sub here and incredibly interested in watching your videos to learn more. We are looking to do something very similar on our little farm so I am certain we will find your channel quite insightful. Thank you for your content.

Thank you for video about hydroponic

good job thank you for share your experience

Brilliant video

Can’t wait for the taste test!

Thanks for sharing the nutrient info, I dabble with hydroponics and I find that getting the correct solution is difficult. The plants look amazing!

If you cut a old tire rim in half with a grinder ( smaller rim ) and make a 3 or 4 deep by an inch wide to slide onto the barrel with the round side up your hose will not pinch. Used to do it for construction site dewatering wells.

this presentation made me think that I am living way way behind from the rest of the world, I do farming but the process I am used to is so primitive. Switching to new technologies translates to, me,performing a heist...well I don't have the guts to do so.....might as well follow you and have your ideas applied in my farm little by little, thanks for sharing!

Amazing!!!!

So far so good 👍

Fantastic. Good luck and God bless.

You are so lucky to get thunderstorms.

great job guys and girls that looks so good i am working on one in the philippines

Mam good work for helping for small farmer innovation in our farming thank you mam for your great work provide

Great video you guys never fail to teach me something. Will you need to prune the hydroponic tomatoes like the in ground tomatoes? Are you feeding with every watering? Thanks again love the video I'm off to Canadian tire to buy a pump. Great info.

Your awesome .Thank You for sharing .

Great video 👍 thank you

Amazing and impressive video

How do you pollinate your tomatoes under your greenhouse enclosures?

In our greenhouses the one that is turning lighter is usually from sun scald,. Your plants look amazing! Thank you so much love your channel

so amazing farm. i love it

I love it, i do hydroponic myself!

Wayne and Patti, What fantastic results at your farm! I just found your site about 2 weeks ago after discovering CB's channel at the same time. Have learned so much from both! This is my second year of outdoor hydroponics using perlite and am having a great time watching my tomatoes grow so well. Started following CB's numbers and have seen such a difference in the growth this year vs. last year here in western PA. What piqued my interest was your use of rock wool in the newest greenhouse. Had never seen that before so did research, Found a lot of good information but one question I have about it is it able to be used in an outdoor setting in lieu of the dutch bucket system? All the videos show it being used in a greenhouse setting. Keep the great videos coming! Thanks for all the great information! Stay healthy Ed

En realidad me gusta aprender, hidroponía para enseñar a los niños a los jóvenes y ver la maravilla que ellos pueden hacer en sus escuelas y en sus hogares y también lo quiero hacer en mi casa

Fabulous and informative video guys. When you first started talking about the hydro toms being a month later I was waiting on smaller plants, how wrong was I? I've visited a commercial tomato farm here in Scotland who grow hydroponically and your setup reminds me of theirs. However they pop the rooted small plant in it's block into black and white plastic then staple it shut, white side out. The temperature controlled water then constantly flows across the roots. Fascinating and I wish I could replicate something similar to what you guys have but I have no power where I grow. What variety of tomatoes are you growing because I need those in my life.

wow.. just wow

Love you video I was looking for a Playlist looking for you how tos

Awesome job. I hope to setup a tomato and pepper greenhouse soon using hydroponics.

i've done the hydroponics and the soil growing tomatoes here in oklahoma(usa). i'll tell you this,from my experience, the hydroponic tomatoes do NOT have the same flavor as the soil grown(flavor is not as good), but, i was also amazed at how fast and large the hydroponic tomatoes grow. i also did trials on cukes with the same results. my customers depend on the flavor from my produce ,so i dropped the hydroponic growing. you certainly do a lot more work than i do. you deserve a good pat on the back.

The reason you have a dark green tomato next to a light green. Seeds are like brothers and sisters. Pheno-type is the term. If you find that you like the dark green one, take cuttings to make a few mother plants to take cuttings from.

I really enjoy your videos. Are you running the same EC in both greenhouses. Just thinking that since you feed with every water cycle on the hydro tomatoes you may be running a lower EC. I built a backyard greenhouse to grow NFT lettuce after watching your videos. Building my second greenhouse for tomatoes now. I love the info so please keep posting. I do hate the aphids I've been getting on my Kale, Bok Choy and Arugula, need to get some lady bugs.

Very nice farming, keep it up

grate job

woow amazing..

in Italy we recycle the almost depleted hydroponic fertilizer for non-hydroponic tomatoes (soil).

thanks so much. i love you all

Let us know how they taste. I've always wanted to try some hydroponics but heard the flavor in the soil is better. I'm curious to see!!! Wow those tomatoes are absolutely loaded!
