Really appreciate videos like this that take months to complete. Rather than putting up countless update videos that can be hard to track, this is a complete video that people in the future can reference without seeking all the updates. Very informative, thank you.

This gal is one of my favorite video makers.. clear, concise, from start to finish. Why isn't everything like this?

I love how quickly and clearly you got to the point & explained everything! New sub!

This is the best hydroponic video I've seen. Everything here is informative. Other videos are 80% just blabbing. This covered everything in less than 12 minutes. It's as if I've experienced it myself, even your disappointment at the end. Thank you so much! I'll be sure to smash that subscribe button on my way out. 😊

This is another, very useful and 130-day-saving video, I really appreciate all the time and efforts spent on this project.

The grocery store fruit is most likely a hybrid. It’s parents were from two different sweet peppers, bred together to produce what you purchased. The seeds from hybrid fruits and vegs do not reproduce themselves. All your hard work produced one of the parents. That being said I enjoyed your presentation. Keep making videos your instructions are great. Best of all, Keep safe and healthy.

This video is simply amazing. I thank you so much for your time and your studies to show us all how this works from beginning to end. Let me be the first to say that this is the best example of hydroponics on KZfaq. I will try to mimic your technique and I will give you all the credit thank you so much for this. Thank you so much.🙏🏽🌹

I too love how quickly and clearly you get to the point and explain everything --

I've been researching several techniques and your video has been very helpful. You do a good job of presenting information in an informative yet concise manner. Subbed!

This is one of the best videos I've seen. Covered the whole growth cycle and answered all the questions I would have had

It's really cool to see plans grow from a seedling in one video!

Excellent video packed with useful info every single second of it. Felt like listening to the journal entries of a true scientist.

This is exactly how I want a video like this to be. Clear, concise, with video of everything you're describing! Subbed!

No BS and precise. So clear, and covered everything a viewer expects to see. Thanks a lot. Subscribed.

I can't find the vocabulary to describe how much i love the scientific way this angel used to document the whole experience.

Love the video. I love how you did a side by side experiment. Keep it up!

I love your channel! One of the best I've seen-- I really appreciate how you educate along the way as you go through the how-to steps for each video. For a hydroponic beginner like myself, it's invaluable. Thank you!! I just subscribed.

Of the dozens of them I have watched, this is the best video on hydroponics I have seen so far. Very well explained, precise information, and down to the point. Well done Mam!

I’m new to this since I dropped the end of an onion in water and now I have a plant. I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers. You are a great narrator, brief but understandable, and I love your snowy background. I used to live in the North, but now I’m in Georgia and miss snow terribly. Keep up the great work. Thanks so much for a great channel.

Thank you for the time spent making this video. So much better than the drawn out videos others make

Love from India... Just wanted to let ya know what a great contribution you are making to the global hydrponics farming phenomena. Brilliant work Tikki. Keep em coming...

I love how you keep it simple and include only factual information

Tikki - There`s a lot of really great channels on youtube, but hands down you have the best channel for the topics you cover. Your videos have gotten me through quarantine in NYC and now I have an 8`x4` hydroponic grow tent in my apartment as well as a hydroponic garden on my roof. Thank you so much :)

This is wonderful! I was inspired from your Lettuce videos and created my own hydroponic setup (DWC). I love your content.

Great video. Everything about it was spot on. I really like your grow set up. I'm hoping you have a video on it.

Thank you very much for a comprehensive seed to harvest video. It is greatly appreciated. Keep up the awesome work

This lady comes correct with the content. Straight to the point. Love it!.

Found few other videos about diy slow water drip but yours is easy, simple & logic.

Really like knowing this before potentially attempting myself. It's interesting how they taste different. Thanks

Wow! I agree with what everyone else has said, this is a terrific video and way better than any of the ones I've come across! Very informative but to the point and enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for making it :)

Thank you. You rigourous method of comparison is really helpful.

I just want to say thank you for making this educational and time-saving video 😊 Stay safe, and warm regards from tropical Malaysia.

Incredible content - simply incredible. Please never stop

You are a good presenter. Like the way to tell things!

This was a very pleasant and informative video for a wannabe hydroponic. All the information is provided in a very nice and underestandable setting - and I agree with all of the other commenters that this is the real stuff and the way to go! Thank you! The issue with the lack of sweetness in taste was a little disappointing. Thank you for sharing this, as well.

This lady is the best , very clear

Excellent and to the point video. Lets you know all that you would like to know for growing bell peppers from seeds to harvesting. The basic understanding of hydroponics & preparing a set up is assumed in this video, but there is a mention of another video giving intro to preparing a setup too. One of the best videos I have seen.

Watched many vedios on hydroponics, but this so clear, precise still with all information. Very connecting for home gardening. 👍

Not an original comment, but I too found this one of the best hydroponic videos I’ve seen. Clear and concise. You have encouraged me beyond my aero garden.

I really enjoyed your experiment. You did a great job of explaining.

As usual, I love your teaching style and the fact that you just get right to the point! :o)

Great video, thank you. The comment about the taste of the peppers is very important.

Salute from Brazil! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!

Wonderful info....great job Tikki.

Thank you so much Tikki for this video. We are just getting started with hydroponics and bell peppers (orange and red) are one of my top 10 plants I want to grow! I've been watching all your other videos and you are so well-spoken right to the point in your videos. I'm learning a lot from them! I'm going to try the tote / Kratky DWC method on my screened-in porch this summer with the bell peppers. We keep our house very cool too and from what I've read, all peppers like heat. Hoping the heat will be the secret to making them sweeter.

Excellent video pacing and content! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. I am now fully convinced that the 'Just Buy the Damn Peppers at the Store' method is in fact best suited for my needs.

This video is very interesting, informative, and helpful for making my decision between methods. I'm going to go with Kratky. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this very detailed and eloquent presentation, you are very good at this! Sorry your bell peppers didn't taste as you expected, but you helped many people with this information, at least my self. I thought about taking the supermarket bell pepper seeds as well, but decided to buy some non-hybrid seeds instead. Looking forward to do the Kratky method experiment first, and then will get the air pump and try the DWC. Ultimately, i wish to build a NFT system, but this depends on the results i get with the first two methods and experiments. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you very much Ms. Tikki. An excellent comparison of the two methods. Very well designed experiment. It was good to hear your honest appraisal of the taste at the end.

Totally subscribing. 1. You speak clearly and simply, narrating what is being seen on the screen with very utilitarian commentary. 2. You don't tell me your life story or take me on a tour of your porcelain cat collection. 3. You seem to run a tight setup, with non professional gear and you work *clean*. Thank you.

Very impressive presentation! Kudos ma'am! I just been educated on the two systems! Congratulations!

Very informative and great video. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Since you asked for constructive criticism, your presentation sounded very scripted rather than natural but the material and reference video during the whole process was one of the better styles I've seen. I'm growing my own peppers as well and it's pretty slow going so far... I mostly clicked this because I wasn't familiar with the Kratky method and was wondering what it was about.

another video to love and more things i have learned,amazing as always so love from the UK and keep warm.

Thank you for the great tutorial! I kept some seeds for a pepper a couple of days ago. Just starting out on this journey of hydroponics. :o) Love from Ontario, Canada!

Great video. Very informative and well explained. I heard a trick you might want to try (maybe another comparison video) if you replace the hydroponic solution with plain water for the last week before harvesting it will help flush excess nutrient out of the plant and achieve a more natural flavour. It would be interesting to compare.

Tikki great informative content! :) I like your approach and teaching style. Your video inspired me to start my own gutter hydroponic garden. :)

I like your video. Well documented and explained the process of growth.

I like your explanation straight to the point 👍

Fantastic hydro video!!!!!

Very nicely experimented. Nicely explained also.

Straight to the point. Super video. Keep it up

Thank you so much for the detailed video!! Very interesting and informative. It was shocking to learn the taste part. I am also going to grow them outdoor in this summer. Love from Toronto

Thanks for your videos. I love them. I am learning a lot.

That’s really interesting! I have grown a variety called Lipstick red and they are a sweet pepper from bakers creek seed company and I grew these in a DWC, and the first peppers it produced, 5 sweet peppers in total, I actually had two pepper plants growing to begin with in a 4Litre container and when it appeared that they had stopped growing I decided the container was too small and I really wanted to transition them from 4litre to 10 litre and to separate them. However when I transitioned them and saw the roots for the first time I noted the larger plant had wrapped its roots around the smaller plant and seemed to be strangling it? Pot bound? I think so. Anyway I couldn’t separate them without damaging a lot of the roots, so I put them in the 10litre container together and after about a day and a half I pulled the roots up to look and the two plants had completely unwound their roots by themselves which made the separation very simple so I did that and then within a short period of time the peppers turned red and we began to harvest as we needed them and I’m happy to report they were sweet and delicious and soooo much better then any store bought. Then I moved the larger plant into a 40 litre container because after the last pepper had been removed it seemed to enter an interesting growth spurt and it was putting on all kinds of green leaves, so I transplanted it up into the 40 litre container and it began blossoming all over again and it has at least a dozen blossoms that are open on it at present that I’m tickling each and every morning in hopes of pollinating these and getting a second phase of a growing pepper cycle perhaps because the first time around it was so restricted because of the lack of space for root growth that it didn’t reach its full potential? As soon as I saw the beginnings of blossoms I began heavily pruning the undergrowth of leaves and removing as many as possible creating a sort of Lollipop look. Apparently with hydroponic growing this is a necessary step as they need to receive much more light at the blossom to ensure a good growth and in order to ripen. I am very excited to see this next phase. I had thought perhaps after the first round of peppers was finished that the plant may be finished as well but this has proven not to be the case, it didn’t even seem to go through any dormant period before starting to blossom again but only after the last pepper was picked. I wonder if there is some correlation there?? Both plants have reacted in the same way, the second plant I’ve kept in the 4litre container because it was said you couldn’t grow sweet peppers in a container that small but you absolutely can albeit you won’t have as much growth or as many peppers had you been growing in it in a much larger container but it is certainly possible. At present I’m growing seeds from peppers that we purchased in the grocery store they are a wide assortment of all kinds of colored peppers and sizes. So far I have 25 plants that I’ve grown from seeds and they are all doing very well at growing I don’t know how they might taste but I’m hoping for the best. I was quite disappointed to hear that your peppers weren’t very sweet and I wonder if it could be that despite you allowing them to vine ripen that you still picked them way too soon? I noted they seemed to be a much deeper orange color then the original one that you took the seeds from? I know when you grow hybrids or gmo plants you are taking a chance but usually the end result could have characteristics of one or the other or both of the one you took the seeds from but generally it’s looked to have taken the superior traits of both of those plants resulting in a more disease tolerant plant I’m not sure that would have any bearing on the taste of the fruit? Could it be whatever nutrients you were using in your tanks had become too concentrated and it didn’t allow time for those to be flushed out of the fruit itself? I’m just really curious why it didn’t taste as sweet and had a “green” taste. I can tell you that my red sweet peppers were sooooo sweet they tasted like candy although these were grown from seeds that I purchased from a company could that be the only thing that could make the difference? I’m not sure but I’ll Provide an update if these pepper plants that I’m currently growing from seeds produce an assortment of fruit or not and of course how good it tastes which is the most important part.

Love learning hydroponics from you so interesting I keep looking for advice on this

Excellent instructional video. Thank you.

2:12 this is the only other human on earth I’ve seen have these plates. I grew up with my grandparents and they had these plates. Great content also

Love your videos, have learned alot. keep up the good work!

Thanks for your honest opinion on how they taste!

Great experiment. Very well explained.

I enjoyed this. Thanks for making the video!

Hello again your a great teacher love watching all your videos, I'm enjoying learning how to grow my own saled foods thank yo my friend !🙂

informative & clear comparisons, thank you

Clear explanation, great experiment Thanks!

many variables to get right with hydroponics. when you do it works great

Clearly explained and no shameless self promotion, thank you!!

Love it ! Thank you for the side by side comparison ! Well, I got disappointed when you mention the flavor, but... I bet they are healthier ! :D

thank you for this. your video may be short but full of infomation!

Very clear and concise

Very honest review

that plate design is spectacular

You can talk to the point! Thank you for documenting your findings.

Great delivery, on a lot of good information..thanks

fantastic video . keep going Tikki

Wow, very cool and informative video! Thank you! Love you videos!

Your videos are excellent, thank you!

Thank you . Very informative and clear 👍 my bell pepper is in kratky and leaves are looking lumpy but new growth showing firm new leaves. It was transplanted from soil to hydroponics. I hope my bell peppers will fruit 🙏

Wow I've never heard of Kratky before. I would think the roots would rot in sitting water. I really liked your growing expiriment. Im also growing mini peppers from a store bought pepper and they are still green.

Many doubts about hydroponics have been answered. Thanks.

Thank you for the knowledge that you shared.

thanks for the honest video

awesome video as always.Great information thank you

great video very educational and love your cinomatic style

One of your better videos Tikki, you did a very nice job of comparing and detailing everything that you did! I was considering growing bell peppers after seeing your video, but the days to maturity is a very long time to wait. Sad that the flavor wasn't a good as expected. I bet you are correct that the sun would make a difference.

Thanks for your video very instructive I really enjoyed it

Thank for the detailed explanation

Great channel. thx. i have just started to look into hydro grow

DWC is by far one of the best growing methods barring maybe aeroponics or pure fog. The one drawback to DWC (and it is a big one for indoor growers) is the noise. Those air pumps will drive you absolutely crazy after 2-3 months. I remember growing DWC in my bedroom and trying to fall asleep at night was a test in patience alright. But the results are unmatched. The speed of growth, the size of growth, the production. Completely unparalleled. It doesn’t even come close.

Great work and clearly explained, thanks for sharing :) How many times did you have to change the water during the grow ?
