Hey Khang. Wow! Those are some serious Kohlrabi! They are all huge, but the one in the trash can is a monster! Nice job, nice job! Grow with choices, thank you, and take care.
That one growing in the trash bin reminds me of a MASSIVE pepper plant I'd seen online that had literally thousands of peppers harvested from it. I can't recall which one it was but it was either a regular bhut jolokia (red) or a naga (red). Love when the roots look like that all nice, pure white and hairy.
I absolutely love your experiments!!! I am ALWAYS sharing your videos with my gardening friends. Oddly, although impressed, they never try it themselves. They keep trying traditional methods and wonder why their production is so small. SMH.
There’s purple also, in our culture. I love to eat them fresh, but small, that’s way to big my friend, unles you put it in a soup, it’s might be alright like that. Smaller the better, I’m impressed how big
Yes. The problem was that part of the bed didn't get full sun until recently. That is why I pulled one out and placed into the trash bin. With this bin, I was able to move the plant around to get all the sun it needs, and that is the reason for the size difference.
Nice job growing the giant kohlrabi Khang! It did take a long time. How many days altogether for that one? Also, I am curious about the taste of the kohlrabi grown in the different containers, whether one method is better. By the way, your wife must be very tolerate to let you put all those buckets and trash cans in the yard.
That's because you drowned the roots. There needs to be a gap between the top layer of the roots and the nutrients. I mentioned this in the video series.
It's due to the availability of nutrients and sun. The little one in the raised bed did not get full sun until recently. Also, that bed doesn't have a nice soil mixture with compost as the trash bin. For hydroponic, the plant is constantly swimming in nutrients and full sun.
Those leaves are GOOD! We use them like kale - we made kohlrabi chips with them and my kids LOVED them!
Congratulations on a successful experiment!

Wow!, massive kohlrabi plants, did you fertilize the ones in the soil?
Yes. The problem was that part of the bed didn't get full sun until recently. That is why I pulled one out and placed into the trash bin. With this bin, I was able to move the plant around to get all the sun it needs, and that is the reason for the size difference.
@@KhangStarr Oh that makes sense, they look incredible!!

LOL she is! That was the only way for the plants to get full sun this past few months. I believe the plant was about 100 days or so.
Many of us wonder how you would cook kohlrabi that is the size of a pumpkin?
Do you have no oxygen supply in the bucket? When I tried this without an oxygen supply, the water stank extremely after 3 days

Is there a purple version of this plant? I have a plant that looks just like this but its purple. I've just been feeding it to my chickens.
I am not sure. I bought the seeds as green. I grew out mostly green, but 1 turned purple.
so what is the explanation for the difference in size? why is the one in a bin growing more than the ones in soil..
It's due to the availability of nutrients and sun. The little one in the raised bed did not get full sun until recently. Also, that bed doesn't have a nice soil mixture with compost as the trash bin. For hydroponic, the plant is constantly swimming in nutrients and full sun.
What other vegs have you done this way?
I have done lettuce, Cabbage, Chinese Nappa Cabbage, Radish, Cucumbers and many more.
