It's amazing how such a tiny plant can produce fruit so quickly and is so abundantly!
Thanks for sharing your cucumber gardening tips with us! 🥒🥒🥒🥒🥒
Cucumbers are so much fun to grow. We had some plants in the kitchen window, then realized they weren't partenocarp (they needed pollination) so we put them outside. In two weeks time they were taller than me and you can almost see the fruits grow, so fast.
This is my winter project for sure!
Informative as always..,thanks for that...your videos are always well produced. Got the idea of overwintering peppers from your vids last year..,had a HUGE success with that this year..thx for the idea!
Can you post a link to the cucumber breed you are using
I've just transferred my tiny plants to my kratky bucket under the light in my tent 😁 good to see time scale on when they start to produce to consumption.
Wow this is awesome! Love it. You've inspired me to try this for myself on my channel
Nice. I did this a few years ago and worked out well. Trying a new method. Just planted out. Great vid bud.
Definitely on my next list to grow ❤️
Very exciting!! ❤️🙏❤️. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Wow can't believe how fast they grew!
Amazing how fast those cucumbers set fruit! I was wondering if you were hand pollinating. Now I know that it's the variety of cucumber. I will have to get some of those.
Most impressive !!! Excellent video.
I like the idea of spiraling the plant up. It's just like the do it in large greenhouses, just in a spiral instead of just left to right :-)
You can refill kratky style growings, too. You start at the level of the net cups as usual and use a float valve to refill the water level to about 50% of the tank. Dr. Kratky does this, too. So you don't necessarily need an air stone.
fantastic! Im trying the Kratky method out this spring. I think I should try to get cukes going too. Mind blowing how much quicker they grow in hydroponics as opposed to soil. Im using the masterblend. Cheers.
Ого ничего себе, какой хороший урожай мой друг. Поздравляю тебя, ты умочка!
Love it. Nice DWC setup, Khang. The light may be a bit overkill, but awesome nonetheless. ✌😆🌿
Awesome Khang!!
That’s amazing. Looks fun
Thank you very much.
Easy and not waste much money to buy material to grow.
My cucumbers in a Dutch bucket are amazing. Found a great pickle recipe thankfully. Loving it.
I found the same cucumber seeds in a Norwegian shop, I am going to try it 😊
Another awesome video!!!
I like this cucumber, so nice to grow such healthy cucumber
nice video,keep showing more videos and teaching us
I’m so impressed! Thank you
Nice grow! 👍 Thanks for the video.
I’ve been wanting to try this for so long. I considered an Aerogarden for quite some time but I’m hesitant because of the limited space, even with the insane one that costs thousands of dollars. lol
This video gave me the push to start some hydroponic tomatoes so thank you Khang!
This video shows a much cheaper system than an aero garden.
Aerogarden is how i started, and i still use but moved on to better.
you will outgrow it very fast, theyre actually smaller then they let on
(9 pod systems give u like... 3 - 4 plants and the rest are spacers)
plant height, even with thier own pods gets too big, its a PITA...
I love growing indoor hydroponic cannabis, tomatoes, lettuce, and broccoli. So good. I avoid rock-wool as it is prone to algae formation. Hydro-ton is effective, low-cost, re-usable with cleaning, saves the environment from being overrun with hydro-ton pebbles, and rockwool cubes. Never fill nutrient above the top ground line for the root balls. Algae thrives on the very top layer of the hydro-ton. If the water level is below the top layer it will prevent algae build up. 3 gallon buckets are great, and you can 3d print some basket lids from PLA which is made from cornstarch based plastic. PH and EC readings are all you need really. Just PH the water to 5.7 or even a bit lower as the PH will rise to 7 after the plants start drinking the nutrients. Add Part A to 500-600 EC reading, Add Part B to 700-900 EC, Add CalMag to 950-1000 EC reading. And you have plants. Aerating the water vigorously will make the plants grow wild.
Make the ratio's of nutrients as you wish, and learn over time. GOOD LUCK.
Absolutely fabulous cukes you have there. Have you had luck growing summer squash? I'm having trouble getting any female flowers.
Thank you very much for uploading this video. I would like to know on the air pumps.
Do i need to keep it always on?
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Thank you, great video. Question, are you using the 3W air pump from the link?
Impressive, thanks for sharing.
Super awesome. But the light and algae thing is noleo void when having enough air being pumped into the water.
This video came right on time for me. I have never been successful with cucumbers. I always end up killing the plant or getting only male flowers. I just started a plant 2 weeks ago and put it in my kratky setup. It is my first soil less cuke and it seems to be doing well. I'm hoping to have something to show soon.
it could be that your cucumber variety is monoecious. These types produces only male flowers for 2-3 weeks before female flowers will show. Try getting parthenocarpic, or gynoecious varieites. These produce mostly female, and very early.
Dude..... you're awesome.
Thank you great video! Do you run the bubble 24/7?
Great job 👏
Another good self-pollinating variety is the Beit Alpha.
Hi hopefully getting into hydroponic growing over the winter on my enclosed front porch. These cucumbers look delicious! If they’re seedless, do you have to keep buying seats? I only ask to know how many to purchase at a time
What is the wattage, light output, and on time schedule of the grow lamp? Did you need to do manual hand pollinating?
Where did you purchase the seeds from ?
Awesome grow! Tried this last year and had tons of flowers , leaves dried and baby fruits that fell off. Any advice. Thank u
I literally screamed at the phone. Omg they grew so fast.
Great video, how tall of a tent do you need for cucumbers?
Hi! Thanks for the great video! I am growing in 5 gallon buckets. I started without the air pump but just added as one started not doing so well. What do you mean you are not adding PH? Is that not established with the nutrients - so you would have to add more as you grow more cucumbers? I am completely new to this, so I have to ask. Also, how warm do you keep them? Thank you!!
What light cycle do you have for these cucumbers? Something like 12 hours on, 12 off? And does the light cycle stay the same for the entire grow or do you change it for flowering stage, etc?
I am very happy to see someone growing something other than lettuce. 😭
When you add water as it evaporates, do you add more nutrients? Do you add additional nutrients after the initial feeding?
Thank you
@Khang Starr Love this so much! One question: do you use a bubbler stone or just the bare end of the tube?
He used a bubbler stone in this video/system :) You can see it in the video at 5:32 and 5:58
Is your tent's door kept open to allow air in or does the water pump handle the airflow to the roots making external air not that important?
Just moved young cucumber plant to dwc system and the leaves seem to be wilting. Any ideas oh what could be the cause? Thanks!!
How did you get them to bear fruit indoors? Do you do hand pollination ?
Please post the seed company you used they look amazing to grow I planted some earlier but are not producing like yours are. Mine after 41 days have many male flowers but one female. One female for every I’d say 35 40 males
Thank you all the knowledge you provide. I have subscribed to your channel for a few months. I would like to ask you a question, if possible. If you were to start a plant hydroponically. Would you have the same results if you transplanted them in soil. Thank you again.
No, plant grows a lot faster in hydro than soil because food is alway available
I know this video is 2 years old, so I'm curious about totes being food grade or not. Is it necessary to have food grade totes or not? Just getting into hydroponics.
Thanks so much for the valuable info
How do you grow the little ones in the smaller bottles? Don't you need an air stone or something? I'm trying to start some hydro cucumber now
Random question: For hydroponic Nutrients, I have a 27 gallon tote using 5 gallon amount of filtered water Irrigation system, Currently amount of nutrients Formula is 12.24g master blend and 12.24g Calcium nitrate and Epson salt 6.24g, I herd Nutrients only last 7-14 days indoor, my question is can I reuse the same water and keep adding nutrients!? Or do I have to drain the filtered water out and place new fresh filtered water and start the process again?
Is the nutrients you use good for all veggies?
Jesus Christ those things are fast! Not only the vegetative growth but how fast the fruits pop up and grow to harvest ready size. And the root system! Look at those beautiful, white and plentiful roots!!
need the link for everything you brought here
Could you do this set up without the air ?
How much power does the pump and light drain? :)
Although it is nice to see the cucumbers grow it would be very helpful to know about the nutrients, lighting and where you got the seeds.
All that information is already listed above
Do new cucumbers grow in place of the ones you harvest?
Hi I have a question. After you set it up with water and nutrients… how long after do you have to put more nutrients? Every couple weeks? And when do u add more water? I’m kinda confused. Thank you.
Do you have to hand polinate? Do you have to polinate at all?
Do you think these would grow just fine in a 12-gallon storage container? I believe you mentioned this one was 17-gallon.
What kind of seeds are you using? Parthenecopic?
Hey bro, what light cycle do you use for indoor?
Can we use any fertiliser ? Can I use all purpose or 20/20 ??
What temperature are you keeping your water at?
Can you let me where you buy the seed cucumber
Which nutrient solution do you use?
Did you leave the front of the tent open or closed ?
How many times you had to hand pollinate your cucumbers?
Is the bottom of the net cup in the water?
How do those Socrates cukes taste? They look great to grow but their looks may put some people off, they're so perfect like Plastic toys.
What variety of cucumber you are using?
How meny watts is your lights?
Very interesting! I'm in a colder northern area so likely need a heat source. I wondered what temperature is needed to be maintained for growth? Also, is there an alternative to rock wool that cab be used? Last question, do you have any idea of your energy consumption for your set up? Curious how much this increased your light bill. Thanks! :-)
Honestly, I really didn't look too much at my energy consumption, but there is not a huge increase. Cucumbers are heat loving plants, but you can probably find a variety that may work well in cooler climate. Alternative to rockwool is hydroton or seed plugs like these amzn.to/32OHvou
@@KhangStarr Thanks for the reply and info!
I picked up some smaller versions of these from Home Depot but they smelled really bad. Does the smell or chemicals get into the plant. Was there anything you had to do to prep the container?
Hey Khang just wanted to point out an error I found with the vid, with gynoecious varieties you need a seperate monoecious variety to actually pollinate, what your growing is a Parthenocarpic variety.
Did you have to self pollenate the cucumbers?
Is the plastic tote food safe? I am concerned about plastics.
do the need polination?
Have you grown hydroponic plants with out using a tent?
i grow theme without the pump, they come anyway!
Hey Khang
Good video man and have been following almost all your video for tips on indoor gardening. I tried cucumber using diva f1 seeds but all I got was full growth of plants with male female flower with no fruits at all so far. Not sure whether I got wrong seed or what should I plant. I put like a month and half effort on this and a failure :(
I believe Diva is parthenocarpic and will produce both male and female, but pollination is not enquired to produce seedless cucumbers. Check pH and your nutrients as well as temperature. Sometimes they abort fruits when temperature is above 90F without air circulation.
@@KhangStarr i am growing it inside grow tent with temperature between 70-80F and humulity approx 70% and nutrients I am using is same as you which is Aerogarden.
Sir,plz help me my hydroponic pepper plant is dying due to root rot what should I do sir plz tell me
Mine have been in the same setup. Except for a different light source. Mine are over 45 days old and nowhere near as grown as yours.😢
Does it consume electricity 24-7 ?
Can I ask - at the beginning, when you are just starting with the little seedlings - do u put them on a sunny window ledge? Do they need a hydroponic light? I cant see one in your video, just wondered where you put them?
17:27 light
What cucumber variety is this?
Nice job! I have a question. I just started dwc and have been plagued with root rot. How do you prevent it? I don’t want to give up, but man it is disappointing. Thanks and keep up the good work!
get a chiller or use a frozen water in bottle
I also had same problem. I still don't what I did wrong
H saw on a video the roots need oxygen so lift them higher so some roots are not in the water
But hydroguard or orca it will keep root rot at bay and grow roots like crazy
Do you need heat for growing the cucumber 🥒
Heard your comment that you are not using ph. So someone enlighten me on using a grow medium without ph? Cukes normally need a 5 .5 to 6.0 ph level. Thanks.
