I tried ginger this year and had some luck but nothing as nice as yours girl. I will try harder next year. Great seeing you was kind of worried had not seen anything from you. Busy time of the year for everyone and thank you for taking the time to do a video girl.Still waiting to buy my Bradwood Farms T-shirt buddy.
Wow! That's awesome. Most people won't eat that much ginger in their whole lifetime!! Maybe a small piece for your CSA folks? And welcome back. Withdrawal was about to set in 🤩🥰😁
Wow nice harvest! I juiced my ginger to make a spicy ginger soda on draught. I got some ginger and tumeric to grow last summer and brought the pots inside during fall. I plan on trying to grow some hydroponic indoor ginger this winter.
That's excellent work! On the Hoocho's hydroponics channel he did a segment where he grew ginger hydroponically in growbags. This setup produced a comparable yield, I'm glad I can now compare the two systems. Will you try other root crops in your system in the future?
Thank you for the kind words! It's great to hear that you're finding value in comparing different systems. I’m excited to explore other root crops soon! Hope you mention my name on his channel!
Wow that’s awesome! What was all that white stuff on the roots of that big big chunk you pulled up? Looked like perlite at the bottom? Never done deep water or any submerged watering before😊
I grow lots of ginger and turmeric in my greenhouse in central KY (Georgetown KY)..... Turmeric blooms are amazing and you could sell those for a premium for August Weddings. We make our own ginger beer and tom kai guy soup all winter.
That sounds fantastic! Growing ginger and turmeric in your greenhouse must be a rewarding experience. Those turmeric blooms really do add a beautiful touch to any event!
You should make some ginger sodas! There are lots of videos on here, you'll need to make a ginger bug first, but there are also lots of videos of that. Very easy and the sodas are full of probiotics!
My hydroponic lettuce is wimpy. I am using led lights on a bakers rack indoors, 1 gallon containers with 1 tsp Maxigro 10-5-14, I see the same thing with Black Seeded Simpson and Tom Thumb. Even if I cool the lettuce down in an ice bath it is still not crispy.
It sounds like you're facing some challenges with your hydroponic lettuce. Have you considered adjusting the light intensity or checking your nutrient solution? Sometimes a little tweak can make a big difference!
Hi, wondering if you could share some basic details for the hydroponic feeding? I have a similar setup and just started with masterblend tomato nutrients, EC is around 1.5 and PH is 5.8. I noticed you had a moisture sensor in there, so I was curious about your dosing, as whenever I am doing root crops like that, I've had poor success too far (too wet, the coco choir/perlite wicks too well). Thanks in advance.
Thanks for reaching out! For hydroponic feeding, I typically follow the guidelines for Masterblend but adjust based on the plant's growth stage and environmental factors. Keeping an eye on the moisture levels with that sensor really helps. Happy to share more specific details if you need!
Hi guys. Dave, formerly from Erie here. Looking to find hydroponically grown strawberry plants. I purchased strawberry plants, previously grown in soil, but they came with white fly eggs and now I am finding tons of mosquitos which look like they have originated from these strawberry plants as well. I'm thinking I might have to grow from seed, but I'm looking at 3 to 4 months for plants to transfer to my hydroponic tubes. I have a mix of perlite and coco core for a "Soil" type of grow media, which works well with other plants. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Dave! It sounds like you're facing quite the challenge with those strawberry plants. Starting from seed could be a great way to ensure you get healthy plants. Have you considered using some organic pest control methods to tackle those pests? The only other thing I do is dip the plants in a hydrogen peroxide water bath before planting. Not only does it kill pests it also helps with any disease that might be lingering on the plant.
@HomegrownPassion interesting idea on the H2O2 bath. The strawberries are the only plant in my hydroponic garden not started by me by seed. I do spray them with a light mist of lavender oil and water, does help a bit. I did use Neem oil but almost lost the plants. Do you have a ratio for the H2O2 bath?
They are just used pickle barrels 55 gallons I picked up from a store. I think I paid 5 bucks each for them. check out this video for more information th-cam.com/video/pZ3FJiY3jNc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the advice! Maturing longer really can make a difference. We'll keep that in mind for future harvests! First time so I didn't really know what i was doing or if it would even work
@@HomegrownPassion I had a tiny harvest this year (my first year gardening). I harvested too early because I was concerned that they may be rotting. I had baby /young ginger. (some people prefer that). I just read on a FB group to store ginger in sand (and save some to start next year's harvest). I made ginger bug with mine.
Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants using a water-based nutrient solution rather than soil, and can include an aggregate substrate, or growing media, such as vermiculite, coconut coir, or perlite. The ginger was fed a nutrient solution. The growing medium is neutral with no nutrients and only used to support the plant.
AWESOMENESS!! Your first attempt is fabulous 🎉❤
Thanks. It was a surprise. I have been enjoying the fresh ginger.
The bulb is a rhizome which can be eaten or used to propagate more plants.
Thank you for pointing that out! It's always great to share knowledge about the amazing properties of plants.
Hard work pays off.
Absolutely! It's amazing what dedication and effort can achieve in hydroponics.
I also grow both Ginger and Turmeric in hydroton pebbles in a flood and drain aquaponics/hydraponics system so it is easier to clean it
That sounds like a fantastic setup! Hydroton pebbles are a great choice for easier cleaning. How's your ginger and turmeric growing so far?
That's a nice haul! Hydro root crops are a big challenge. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks! Hydroponics can be tricky, but it’s so rewarding when you see results like this. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Hello Kelly! I still need to work on the merch but yeah, the ginger turned out pretty good. First time but I'm going to grow it again for sure.
Wow! That's awesome. Most people won't eat that much ginger in their whole lifetime!! Maybe a small piece for your CSA folks? And welcome back. Withdrawal was about to set in 🤩🥰😁
Thanks for the warm welcome! You're right, ginger can be quite the powerhouse ingredient, and I’m excited to share it with everyone!
Wow nice harvest! I juiced my ginger to make a spicy ginger soda on draught. I got some ginger and tumeric to grow last summer and brought the pots inside during fall. I plan on trying
to grow some hydroponic indoor ginger this winter.
Awesome! Indoor ginger sounds like a fun project. Can’t wait to hear how it turns out! Keep me posted on your spicy soda adventures!
I love your videos. Do you ever do tours of your farm?
I'm glad you enjoy the videos! A farm tour sounds like a fun idea-maybe I’ll plan one soon!
That's excellent work! On the Hoocho's hydroponics channel he did a segment where he grew ginger hydroponically in growbags. This setup produced a comparable yield, I'm glad I can now compare the two systems. Will you try other root crops in your system in the future?

Nice RTO on the ginger. You can freeze dry it if you’ve got one of those. It sells great at market.
Thanks, that's a great idea. I always wanted a freeze dryer!!
Ooh the suspense of you unearthing the ginger😃fantastic result , but we shouldn’t expect anything less from you😉
I'm glad you enjoyed the suspense! It’s always exciting to see what’s hiding beneath the surface.
Wow that’s awesome! What was all that white stuff on the roots of that big big chunk you pulled up? Looked like perlite at the bottom? Never done deep water or any submerged watering before😊
Yes perlite. The dep barrel hydroponics are really easy to grow root crops. I enjoy this "new" part of the greenhouse
Thanks for giving us a "peak" into your gardening
I'm glad you enjoyed the peek!
❤❤good morning, merry Christmas, your amazing and beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas to you too! Glad you are enjoying the video.

I freeze the fresh ginger I'll use for the year. I lacto-ferment the extra ginger before dehydrating for dry uses.
That sounds like a fantastic way to preserve ginger! Lacto-fermenting adds such a unique flavor too. Thanks for sharing your technique!
Awesome harvest! If there's an Indian or Asian store, check if they can take it off your hands. They would love some fresh grown ginger!
Thank you! That's a great suggestion! Fresh ginger would definitely be appreciated at those stores.
That is a ton of ginger! Looks like there was lots of airflow.
Thanks! Airflow is definitely crucial for healthy ginger growth. Glad you noticed!
I LOVE Jungle Jim’s!!!! I can spend hours in that place.
Jungle Jim's is such a fantastic place! There's always something new to discover there. Glad to hear you love it!
You should make some ginger sodas! There are lots of videos on here, you'll need to make a ginger bug first, but there are also lots of videos of that. Very easy and the sodas are full of probiotics!
That's a great idea! Ginger sodas sound like a delicious way to use the harvest. I'll definitely look into making a ginger bug!
yummy!!

I harvest on a 6-7 week cycle
It sounds like you're facing some challenges with your hydroponic lettuce. Have you considered adjusting the light intensity or checking your nutrient solution? Sometimes a little tweak can make a big difference!
@@HomegrownPassion I will check that. Thank you. Also, are there lettuces I can grow this way that tend to be crunchier simply by genetics?

@HomegrownPassion please Can i have the formula to make my own nutrient solution ?

wunnerful
You can also keep some of the ginger to start new beds next year
That's a great idea! Keeping some ginger to start new beds is a smart way to ensure a continuous supply. Thanks for the tip!
Would you please share where to purchase the blue barrels? Thanks
They are just used pickle barrels 55 gallons I picked up from a store. I think I paid 5 bucks each for them. check out this video for more information th-cam.com/video/pZ3FJiY3jNc/w-d-xo.html
How many months to get that big chunk of ginger?
Planted in April so 9 months growing
I would keep what you need, & give some to your daughter!!
I agree! She is definitely getting a piece of this.
How can I grow some without hydroponics
You can definitely grow ginger in soil! Just make sure to choose a well-draining potting mix, and keep it warm and moist for the best results.
could have left it longer to mature more dear. keeps longer that way...blessings to all
Thanks for the advice! Maturing longer really can make a difference. We'll keep that in mind for future harvests! First time so I didn't really know what i was doing or if it would even work

dry it and make powder,pickle,pant
Haha, love it! Drying ginger and making powder is a solid plan. Pickling sounds fun too-let's get cooking! 🍽️
I'm confused. I thought ydroponics was growing plants without soil.
