    Love all your videos. I have a growing business because of you two and I really appreciate all you’ve shared. I’ve been growing exclusively in soil and want to move to nft but have found almost nothing on how to grow micros in an nft set up, what grows well and what doesn’t. It would be really great to be able to step away for 24 to 72 hours to help my aging parents without losing all of my plants that are out of blackout…what resources do you recommend to get up to speed on nft?

    Any clever ideas how to add wheel casters on the conduit poles?

    • @OnTheGrow
      @OnTheGrow  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great Question! I actually ended up 3D designing and 3D printing some connectors for mine... I think that's quickly talked about in our Custom Flood and Drain build video. It was really easy to find some casters at a hardware store, then you just gotta figure out how to get them to fit into the conduit. I bought my caster smaller and then 3D printed a spacer to fit over the caster and hold it snug in the conduit pipe. You can make a space out of wood with a hole saw and a drill bit. Just gotta make sure its the right size for the conduit.

    nice setup, for experiments, you aught to try ebb and flow with the trays sitting off the ground so they can properly drain. Im sure having a constant wet bottom, and no air flow is 50% of diseases

    • @OnTheGrow
      @OnTheGrow  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Yeah, we have an indoor flood and drain system that works well! We prefer the NFT because it requires a much, much smaller reservoir than the F&D systems.

    Hey guys! I wanted to ask on your take against filtered vs tap water. I know you guys use a filter for your water, but I was wondering what your views on using tap water for microgreens is. I see alot of big growers on youtube use tap water regularly and I wanted to see if you guys thought there is a dramatic difference between using filtered water. Thanks!

    • @OnTheGrow
      @OnTheGrow  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honesty I feel like both are great solutions! I do think that it is wise to have your water tested, just so you have a good understanding of your water source. It really helps with figuring out if you need a filter and if so, what specifically are you aiming to filter out of your current tap water. We currently use one to reduce chlorine and a few other potential contaminates like lead and heavy metals... some cities have amazing tap water while others are questionable. Hope that helps!! 🌱🌱

    Do you water your green whole day?

    • @OnTheGrow
      @OnTheGrow  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If we hand water, we will water twice a day usually once morning and once evening. When its automated like in this system, we will think its best to run it for 1-minute, once a day and that seems to be sufficient for the microgreens. Hope that helps!

    To Shawn: I suggest keeping metals out of the nutrient system since that can cause problems, instead have a look into fish tank filters. there are various micron sized meshes in bag forms, from small socks, to large sieves. they are easy to use and clean, and they won't screw up your water ;)

    • @OnTheGrow
      @OnTheGrow  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Potentially depending on how many flood trays you’re able to stack vertically and what size flood trays you’re using. My main concern is the reservoir size needed for flood trays. With NFT, I am able to get away with a much much smaller reservoir because it’s only a thin film of water instead of having to flood an entire deep tray system. Plus we didn’t like use a flood tray for micros, we kept getting issues from over-watering...
