Hi, I just wanted to send you a note to thank you and Wayne, where ever he is, for showing me how you did your hydroponic tomatoes. I've never had better or abundant crops, I basically followed everything you said except I added an auto-doser for fertilizing. five hundred plants the past couple of years, 800 lb harvest one week last summer, I have to shrink my crop next year for lack of help! Now I'm going to set up an NFT lettuce system based on yours and Waynes'. Thanks again, I hope you're doing good.
Since you asked, I have a couple of techniques I discovered over the years in our high tunnels and I'll share what works for me. I typically grow around 10,000lb of tomatoes in three high tunnels and our northern growing season is approx 110-120 days. First off, I love the Tomahooks and plastic clips and have used them for years. Huge huge time savers. I only grow in the soil for a couple of reasons and heirlooms are the money makers in our markets and the best tasting tomatoes. I plant on 4 ft centers, single row and let the plant grow out all the suckers, or multiple leaders they can up to about 24 inches and remove all the new suckers above that height. I shoot for 4-5 leaders per plant but love it when I can get 6. Each leader will produce 10 lbs plus of fruit. I used to plant 400 tomato plants per high tunnel and now I only grow 100 plants. This alone has cut my maintenance work in half and I produce approx 800 lbs more per high tunnel. I stop dropping and dragging the tomato plants years ago. What I do now is around July 15th- 20th I top the plants at 5-51/2 ft and remove all new suckers and flowers. I do not want any nutrients going to a part of the plant that will not be producing fruit. This is another big time saver over climbing up and down ladders and damaging plants. With our short season I find that toping shocks the plants along with the shortening days and they switch into a fruiting cycle almost over night. The following week I do a hard pruning up to around 20 inches. Then a week or so later I do another hard pruning to around 30-36 inches. By now that plants are in full fruiting stage and their internal clock is tell them summer is coming to an end and they need to get going on their fruit/seed production. Another advantage of hard pruning is air flow and sunlight into the canopy. I don't know about your area, but as fall starts to approach here, the night time humidity goes up so this cuts the changes of diseases. At the time of topping I cut the watering in half in what I call water stressing. What I discovered, purely by accident, is that the plants start pushing the sugars from the roots into the fruit the the fruit doubles in size and sweetness. Stating about mid August, they get very very little water. I totally trick the plants into thinking they are dying and they go into hyper drive producing huge volumes of fruit. If they start to wilt I will give those plants maybe a quart of water at the most. I found that over watering washes out the flavor when the plants pushes the sugars down into the roots. I work with the plants natural cycle and they give amazing fruit.
I started growing hydroponically again after a 2 year hiatus and just recently found your channel the other day and it saddens me to know Wayne had passed away. From the few videos I’ve seen he has great passion and an even greater personality. You have my condolences and I hope everything works out with Spring Hill Farms.
You should put a aslit in the rockwool slabs between the third and 4th hole. This allows proper runoff, and stops the build up of nasty salts, do you monitor the ec,ph of the plants? Worked on tomatoes and cucumbers for over 40yrs Here in the uk. We,would never leave stubs on the tomato plants, get poor conditions, botrytis will come in on them,maybe humidities not as high as in glasshouses.
Missed you! So happy for you and your successful experiment!!! Hard for me to imagine 1 tomato plant root in that tiny block much less 2. Love that you are not having disease! So exciting!!!
Simply Amazing my friend. Warms my heart seeing all those mass maters growing on in there! Yep mind over matter is always the block when it comes to taste from soil to hydro. My customer's tell me we have the best tasting maters in the world but little do they know they came from my hydro system. Stay safe my awesome friend and hope you folks have a great safe weekend!
As you are feeding the same concentrations of the nutrient solution there won't be a difference in the taste. However as there is a difference in the rate of the nutrient uptake you will observe a lower plant growth (as well as the yield) in the soil-based system.
Wonderful as always !! do you reuse the slabs? how many times can they be used? Could you show the process of removing the plants after harvest? Do you do some kind of disinfection to the slabs? It would be very helpful to me! Thank you
BTW, what I have found that influences the taste of tomatoes the most is the environmental stress - the temperature primarily. When grown in constantly colder environment the taste is like 10x better for some varieties, BUT the yield is smaller of course.
Your tomatoes ma'am Patti looks healthy with all those fruits in them. Trying to plant that same variety next month. I don't know what will be the result. I'm not good in planting tomatoes.
Could you try using 5 blocks per slab vs 3 blocks right now? That way you can use one seed per block and also have no suckers. I feel 2 seeds per block may get crowded for roots. You put slabs closer as you have a bit space between them now. So you will in the end get same number of plants in greenhouse.
Try spraying with garlic infusion (mainly in that other greenhouse) against leaf browning if it is not too time-consuming. In the spring it helps with most types of rot on leaves in young tomato plants, less on leaf browning in the autumn BUT I did it this year on Black Cherry (I have browning issue with this variety especially) and there is only very little browning if at all (maybe I should spray more often). I use 1 clove of garlic per 1.5 liter of spraying liquid (I don't add anything else to water to not mess with micro-flora, no oil, not any soap). Crushing the clove well and letting it infuse at least 6 hours, I usually let it til next day. Best to spray in the evening with a good sprayer that pulverizes to hovering mist. For prophylaxis in healthy plants and for varieties that are mostly tolerant to blight I'd spray once in 2 weeks but in diseased plants I'd spray every week, in serious disease I repeat the other day or in 3-4 days. In my experience this also works very well in pumpkin plants but not that good in cucumbers. Some plants other than tomato may not tolerate 1 clove per 1.5 liter, the more common ratio is 1 clove per 3 liters then. For tomato I have even used 1 clove/1 liter. (I have used spraying liquid infused even 3-4 days back (starts smelling) but not sure of its potential.)
Have you considered grafting your tomatoes? You might find the performance might be so improved that you could grow fewer plants with the same or better results, or the same plants wth even more production. I plan on grafting most every Tomato in my two tunnels next year
Looks like you've found a winner in that greenhouse. Your plants look to be 18" apart but it doesn't look like you have any disease... How do you keep powdery mildew and other diseases so common in humid conditions?
Our plants are 15" apart in this system. We have had absolutely no problem with powdery mildew or disease in this greenhouse. We do have a shade cloth, but so do our other greenhouses, which we always have a problem or two with disease or mildew. This system is just blowing us away! We absolutely love it!
Patty - that cultilene is I think Rockwool and a bit hard to dispose of - you mentioned COCO substrata towards the end - Is that CocoCoir you are using for the bags??.
Hello, I am just wondering if you are reusing the blocks again and the bags also? and one thing do I really have to also used the blocks for seedling or can I used the coco fiber direct? the VBV is it a coco coir? or coco peat?
Hello, your works are great. I really appreciate that you share your experiences. I would to start a BVB system. Would please inform me how to get coco coir block for BVB system?
Spring Hill Farms nice. I’ll be watching. Happy with my Dutch buckets, but there’s always room to try something else... can you talk a bit about pricing on these as well. I’d think if it’s a one time use, the pricing would be pretty steep.
Did I miss the really ripe tomato taste test? I saw the taste test when they were not really ripe. Is there still very little taste difference between hydro and soil when perfectly ripe? I hope to copy your setup next spring. I have two larger high tunnels
We did taste testing with our customers and they chose the hydrophonic tomatoes. EVERYONE, even at the Farmers market were commenting on how tasty they were. Unfortunately, I didn't video.
@@Growwiththelaplantes Thanks so much for the reply! That's just the information I wanted to hear. I love what you guys are doing. I do similar but on a little smaller scale.
i am in love with you Technics, please tells us which nutrition formula you used from planting to harvesting. i am still finding good nutrition formula
Question regarding the emitters stuck in the distribution tube. Are they specific type of low-pressure emitters given the usage of a utility pump? I had tried my existing pressure compensating emitters and I had difficulty getting flow using a submersible pump. I've resorted to just a open microtube coupler without emitter, but I'd rather have some sort of GPH control. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you so much! we pick at various stages. Red, and not quite red will be perfect for next day selling. Most customers, when purchasing more than one tomato, likes to have a ripe and a not quite ripe for the next day or two so it is perfect!
Looks very good! Im super interested in your system....so the barrel with the pump in it, the water is not re-circutated back into it? Do you just refill the barrel with water and fertilizer you use?
The difference in leaf browning issue between the greenhouses is interesting... I wonder why is that. :) About the taste. That is interesting as well. :) I am starting to believe it. BUT I also think the taste is of less issue in varieties that are less tasty anyway. Maybe. I mean I am not familiar with this specific variety and if it has a strong taste (sweet or bits of good acidity, smth pungent) in any case (in my experience similar beef steak tomatoes don't taste of anything to me BUT I plan on trying out the same variety you have here next year, in case I get my hands on the seeds here in Europe). PS: I am spoiled with the taste of Black Cherry, Kumato and Sungold.... Thanks for the video. btw, you're looking very good.
You guys are amazing. I congratulate your entire team for the success and your eagerness to share your story. But, why you did not place your growing medium flay on the ground instead of on the wooden plank and on blocks. If you look at the Israeli method , they have a way of coiling the stem of the plant into a heap.
Hi, I have a question do you have a fish tank for fertiliser your plants. Also, can I have the name of your video when you first start the greenhouse, please? In addition, do you grow other greens besides the lectures such as watercress, parsley, garlic, and turmeric, Thank you in advance for your reply. From Australia 🇦🇺 Cheers
Cooling is so much harder than heating in the greenhouses through the summer months. We will sometimes hit 110 degrees. we open all roll ups, have shade cloth on and doors, windows, fans and exhaust fans going. We have been fine so far. Mind you, we have to run the irrigation more often, but all is well.

Thank you for all your valuable insight in producing better fruit. Also, streamline the work needed and cut time down. Thank you in advance. Cheers.
Hey out of curiosity.. what variety do you grow?
Hyperdrive it🤘🤩👍👍
So little harvest? You can live from that in US? I wonder what is the average price for tomatoes? I harvest about 250.000 LB a year
Thank you for years of knowledge passed on. My first round was not successful.
I started growing hydroponically again after a 2 year hiatus and just recently found your channel the other day and it saddens me to know Wayne had passed away. From the few videos I’ve seen he has great passion and an even greater personality. You have my condolences and I hope everything works out with Spring Hill Farms.
What is BVB system?
It’s the substrate they use as a hydroponic medium
my heart goes out to your family, wayne was a big part of the channel.
Amazing. Inspiring. I can't wait to see more videos!! Just found you this morning!!
Once again it's really amazing to keep coming to your blog for you gave us so much info, thank you and God bless.
You should put a aslit in the rockwool slabs between the third and 4th hole. This allows proper runoff, and stops the build up of nasty salts, do you monitor the ec,ph of the plants? Worked on tomatoes and cucumbers for over 40yrs Here in the uk. We,would never leave stubs on the tomato plants, get poor conditions, botrytis will come in on them,maybe humidities not as high as in glasshouses.
Wow!!!! Was wondering how it was working. Thanks so much for the update!
Sure learn so much from your videos. Thank you.
2:34 red hot cherry chillies i think. Great for making fermented vinegar based sauce.
Congratulations
Love it love it love it gods bounty in man's hand. Awesome. Stay blessed
Here I go again, watching you, its really amazing
I have to say you're greenhouse looks perfect
With the grafted Big Denas I found that starting the second stem higher up on your main plant makes the main stem and off second stem stronger.
Super production!!!...It is a good way to go with this(cocopeat organic slabs) BVB system and thanks for the detailed explanation ..have a great week!
Thank you!
Missed you!
So happy for you and your successful experiment!!! Hard for me to imagine 1 tomato plant root in that tiny block much less 2. Love that you are not having disease! So exciting!!!
Thank you so much! yes, this system is amazing!
Ohhh those peppers do look like the hot cherry peppers! This is awesome. So cool seeing those big old plants growing so well in this set up!
Simply Amazing my friend. Warms my heart seeing all those mass maters growing on in there! Yep mind over matter is always the block when it comes to taste from soil to hydro. My customer's tell me we have the best tasting maters in the world but little do they know they came from my hydro system. Stay safe my awesome friend and hope you folks have a great safe weekend!
Thank you my friend!
Our customers can't tell the difference and love a the Maters we have growing!
You both stay safe as well!
As you are feeding the same concentrations of the nutrient solution there won't be a difference in the taste. However as there is a difference in the rate of the nutrient uptake you will observe a lower plant growth (as well as the yield) in the soil-based system.
Looks AMAZING Wayne and Patti!!! Congrats!!
Thank you!
Do you have any videos on disease and insect control for tomato plants?
Wow... all I can say is I am really impressed. You guys are doing an awesome job. I’m in central TX so heat is the greatest challenge.
Are the slabs reusable or discarded after 1 use?
Wonderful as always !! do you reuse the slabs? how many times can they be used? Could you show the process of removing the plants after harvest? Do you do some kind of disinfection to the slabs?
It would be very helpful to me!
Thank you
hi thanks for all the help with detailed information ,question do you change the cocoa blocks after the plants are done producing
Yes, we would change them each year.
you can buy nectars by general hydroponics that sweeten the bell peppers doesn't take much either and they taste a lot better
Wow, what a great system. Looks like it works well. Your tomatoes and peppers look very healthy
I grew tomatoes in soil ... wow are they fugly! Yours look terrific, very nice.
So happy to hear you this excited!! The results speak for themselves;))
Thank you buddy!
Thanks for explanations. Could you share the water pump model used?
BTW, what I have found that influences the taste of tomatoes the most is the environmental stress - the temperature primarily. When grown in constantly colder environment the taste is like 10x better for some varieties, BUT the yield is smaller of course.
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing, explaining and teaching!
Quick Question: How do you handle pollination? Do you release bees indoors?
Tomatoes are self pollinating, but simply shaking the plant gently will help accomplish this once it starts producing flowers.
Love hearing about your success with this 👍
thank you very much of your help
Your tomatoes ma'am Patti looks healthy with all those fruits in them. Trying to plant that same variety next month. I don't know what will be the result. I'm not good in planting tomatoes.

From where did you purchase to plastic sheet beds and the elevated square pot placed right at the location of the plant.

Very nice. At end of season can you cut open 1 bag to show the roots, im interested to see. Thanks
This is really exciting. Kindly explain how you handle indoor pollination.
hi Guys great vid again ,how do you pollinate your tomatoes do you use bees for example
If you plant two seeds per four inch block, will you plant the seeds directly in the for inch square or will you still start in thr plugs?
Patty - that cultilene is I think Rockwool and a bit hard to dispose of - you mentioned COCO substrata towards the end - Is that CocoCoir you are using for the bags??.
Im wondering if you ever double planted two indeterminates instead of double steming one plant and if so how it went
No, we didn't try that.
Hi, do you get more yield from the greenhouse compared to the open field? Thank you for your efforts!
How are you pollinating your plants in the house
How do your tomato, peipino and jalapeño flowers pollinate?... i love your work gays...greetings from amarillo tx
Fantastic ... congratulations 👍👍👍 from Argentina
Hello, I am just wondering if you are reusing the blocks again and the bags also? and one thing do I really have to also used the blocks for seedling or can I used the coco fiber direct? the VBV is it a coco coir? or coco peat?

Wo.wo.wo...,Mantap kebun tomat hidroponiknya saya suka banget bisa menambah inspirasi baru buat saya, sukses selalu.
Hello, your works are great. I really appreciate that you share your experiences. I would to start a BVB system. Would please inform me how to get coco coir block for BVB system?
Hi is the nutrient mix for the tomatoes the same as that used for the leafy vegetables?
Can you please explain how to make plant media. Do you use cocopeat or other material? Thank you.
Great looking set up!
What is in the BVB bags which you guys are using in hydroponics system?
Is it possible to reuse the larger slabs, or do the roots damage them too much?
I'm going to do a video on this tomorrow! 😁
Spring Hill Farms nice. I’ll be watching. Happy with my Dutch buckets, but there’s always room to try something else... can you talk a bit about pricing on these as well. I’d think if it’s a one time use, the pricing would be pretty steep.

How do you know all plants get the water ? Because long line and covered up ?
Where do you purchase your bvb products?
I've put the link in the description
Good stuff, I am curious how you provide carbon dioxide for the plants?
Do you have to throw away the coco when plants are done?

yes
This is fantastic! I really wonder how do you guys manage pest like thrips and whiteflies? Thanks before
Can you please tell me how much nutrient water does a tomato plant need during its life cycle through hydroponic cultivation system?
how long must be the solution pump one service ?
Did you come up with a per plant pound of production. On this no soil system
Nice work, guys!!! Thanks for sharing!
I know that growers reuse rockwool slabs. Do you consider using the cocco bags for a second cycle?
Can you say what kind of tomato you grew in the hydroponic greenhouse?
She said in one of them. Big Dena. Great tomato
Can you grow Tomatoes in the winter?
Did you come up with a per plant production
You guys are amazing. I congratulate your entire team for the success and your eagerness to share your story. But, why you did not place your growing medium flay on the ground instead of on the wooden plank and on blocks. If you look at the Israeli method , they have a way of coiling the stem of the plant into a heap.
Bravo. Trés bon travail.
Je suis impatient de voir la suite
Vous utilisez quelle PPM et qu'elle EC pour vos tomates ? Bon courage 🇫🇷
How much lbs of tomatoes you'v harvested in total till now by using this method? (They are the "Better Boy" variant?) Great videos and infos.
What fertilizer did you use ?
Hi, I have a question do you have a fish tank for fertiliser your plants. Also, can I have the name of your video when you first start the greenhouse, please? In addition, do you grow other greens besides the lectures such as watercress, parsley, garlic, and turmeric, Thank you in advance for your reply. From Australia 🇦🇺 Cheers
Where can i purchase the slabs, clips and tomahawks
You can purchase these through A.M.A PLASTICS.
Looks great
What is the highest temperatures have you experienced in the greenhouse and how do you guy cool it down?
Usually it would be "live in Ontario", however, this summer was brutal.
Cooling is so much harder than heating in the greenhouses through the summer months. We will sometimes hit 110 degrees. we open all roll ups, have shade cloth on and doors, windows, fans and exhaust fans going. We have been fine so far. Mind you, we have to run the irrigation more often, but all is well.
Any chance those peppers could be a peppadew? But what a crop of tomatoes to view on a Friday the 13th November day ... -Bob...
Have you kept track of how many pounds per plant do you get.
You growing through winter? I don’t see lights or a heat source
What capacity solution tank should we use for commercial setup of 1000 plants
Hello I need to know the types of nutrients used
Do you raise your own seedings? Thanks for posting,planning to do same in Guyana once I can find solutions to mitigate high humidity and heat.
I think you have Havanero peppers over there
You are so beautiful, love all your videos. I have learned so much
