I'd be looking at the POT that changes the PH. 5:49 Looks like it has the manufacturers name on it. PIHER Spain. Hopefully you have some electronic skills. Check out my other channel. @azureuscomputerrepairs

Maybe corrosion on the contacts where the probe plugs in?

I am aware but for me this is fine considering cost, space and needed equipment. These seedling are raised like this for around 3 weeks to give them a good start for transfer to NFT. Thanks for the comment.

It really is a very simple design. I'll make a short video shortly and go over the design. Cheers.

Thanks for that.

Yes.

Preach, I’m in South Africa and experiencing the same problem. I have decided to save my own seeds this year. The normal corn came up fine, sweet corn is definitely the problem.

My second batch of sweet corn is tasseling at less than a meter tall. Like how is this possible?

Thanks for the reply. I ended up propagating in small pots under lights. Even then I would estimate around 50% germination rate.

@@noxlove2151 Very interesting to hear that the problem is elsewhere other than Oz. I've never thought of saving sweet corn for seed because all the seed I've ever bought has been treated so I thought it must be a bit tricky (unlike maize). Have you saved sweet corn for seed before?

@@crankybanshee3809 No, it’s my first attempt. I will still buy next year. I just want to have something to compare with. A control batch so to speak. And I love the idea of saving my own seeds of everything really. I even have a potato plant that I allowed to fruit, they not ripe yet. I just want my gardening to be self sufficient, so I can be productive no matter what is happening in the world. Tips and tricks are welcome

It's not lunchtime yet Charles 🍅

The deep wicking bed itself was an experiment and its has been so successful I want to replace my gutter wicking systems with this in the future. Surprisingly, as shown in this onion grow video, in this bed, the whole onion grow used around 200 grams each of Diamond Special T and Calcium Nitrate in dry form. As far as mixed nutrient in liquid form at 2.4EC the whole grow used less than 400 litres. I did however let it get rained on a couple times but not heavy rain. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qb-mn6V6tJ2okZs.html The other benefit is that this gives, in my estimate, around 1/3 more growing area eliminating the wasted space between pots or buckets. Of course the main reason for this was to grow root crops that do not grow too high for the greenhouse cover which lifts back.

@@LMGH I remember Hoocho did something similar to grow potatoes - can't wait to see the results. Might change my mind on what I end up building 😀

blessings, your video has inspired me,what is the depth of the media, ? do you have any holes for excess water if float valves should fail?

@@randysabessar6692 It's around 400mm deep. If a float valve was to fail it would be easy to spot and rectify. The system is fed by a 200l drum.

@@LMGH thank you

Yes. Organic hydroponics is certainly possible for the home grower. Look into Vermiponics also.

@@LMGH was thinking of sending off some of my worm tea/leachate for analysis - probably not for awhile though. Really interested to see how you go though :)

@@moqo Fantastic. I would love to know the results if you do test. I believe the key is to have balance as in a soil garden, biological balance. The reasoning for "Organaponics" is, IMO, where water is a commodity that is in short supply, (90% less water usage is applicable). Fertigation with home made organic fertiliser is a win win negating the need for artificial fertilisers. Growing food in this manner is excellent for those with injury. The growing method can be monitored as in aquaponics. The key is aeration and the raw material must be produced using a balanced process meaning NPK and micro nutrients. Other nutrients may be added such as azomite, properly processed egg shells for calcium, banana for extra potassium, bone meal for extra phosphorus, you get the idea. Correctly processed fish scraps turned into an aerobic solution would be invaluable. In summary, The NPK component is reasonably straight forward if the tea is created with some basic knowledge. Bless you Sir.

@@LMGH thanks mate - for me its trying to divorce myself from all fossil fuels and their derivatives. Hoping to record the project over the next few years...somewhere. Will let you know if I try youtube also :P

I didn't count them but it was a lot.

Yes I need to put him to bed every night. There is probably a very small amount of light that gets in and I have to let him out. A necessary chore but well worth it to expand my flock without the neighbours kicking up a stink.

Around 80 days.

Sorry if I'm bothering you with questions, I am a student of agronomy in Nayarit and I want to grow in hydroponics, what fertilizer do you use for the crops? @@LMGH

@@branscomberuizbarajas2779 You will have to find what is available in your country. www.campbellsfert.com.au/product/product-type/hydroponic-range/diamond-special-t/

Thank you Sir.

Read the description and use your search ability. I have no affiliation.

There is no nonsense. If you wish to open hard nuts, this is the device. Fantastic results.

Sure is.

Cheers Steve M. This system is not undercover. The coco peat that I use is hydroponic grade. It cost twice as much as the "blocks" which need to be treated for hydroponics before use. In the end it is easier and minimally more expensive to purchase the hydroponic grade, considering treatment required for non treated, block type coco coir. Here is a link for the product I am using in Australia. www.bunnings.com.au/pinegro-30l-coco-peat-ready-to-use_p0108624 The beauty of hydroponic grade coco peat, (or self treated coco blocks, done properly), is that it retains the nutrients and allows the excess water to drain, after heavy rain or any rain for that matter, while retaining most of the nutrients within the medium. So, the compromise from having hydroponics systems like this, outside in the natural elements is about draining the channels after a large rain event and replenishing the channels as well as the higher propensity for the crop to be subjected to pestilence. Even in a domestic greenhouse pests may be a challenge. You can research the knowledge I have shared here and apply it to you situation. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask in depth questions on my telegram channel listed in the description. Cheers.

I don't see a problem in the bigger buckets.

As soon as the fruit set I bump the PH up to 6.3-6.4 for better phosphorus uptake and run an EC of no less than 2.6 but closer to 3.

Thank you for responding :) I run around 2.4. When you get the dark brown ring on the bottom of the tomato when still green. What is the problem there do you know?

@@gilreitsma7348 Blossom end rot. Your nutrient mix could be off. Spray with magnesium sulphate 1 1/2 tablespoons to 5 litres water. It won't save the affected fruit. Prevention not cure.

Thank you - Will give the good fruit a spray and also increase EC. Should I add more magnesium sulfate to the nutrient as well?

@@gilreitsma7348 I can help you in much better detail here - t.me/Lake_Maquarie_Gardening_Hydro

Simple science. Oxidization ie: rusting of the steel wool using salt & moisture as a catalyst. The oxidization process consumes the oxygen creating a vacuum.
