You did it. Pushed me over the edge. My 1st Aerogarden (basic 6) was just delivered. And rock wool, ph stuff & fertilizer is due today so i can grow what I want. (Baby steps)
Thank you again Khang for the way your simplify your sharing of skill and knowledge! Tremendous tribute to you over on the FB group page; very well done and deserved! -Bob...
Thanks for the info Khang. Have been watching your videos for a while and always enjoy them. For tomatoes i picked up the container collection from Tomatofest. I have not tried them all but the Tiny Tim cherry tomato plants are excellent. They only grow about 1 to 1.5 feet high and have a high yield. I planted 2 of them with some Thai basil and they all produced for 10 months before i finally decided to change them out.
I recently found your channel and really appreciate your content. I love growing veggies and always liked pepper plants. My question(s) is, is the aerogarden energy efficient? Did you notice any big change in your electric bill? Hope all is well man, take care🤙🏼
@@KhangStarr Love the channel mate, It's laid back and relaxing to watch, and your enthusiasm is contagious (I now have 30 or so chillis growing ha ha)

Thanks for sharing your tips and experience! I like to watch/listen to your videos while im tending to my plants and setup. It might be more useful to mention the timeline in the beginning of a video vs the end.
I started being active on 7 Pot Club & Rob has mentioned you as a knowledgeable source. I just received my PH100 meter and am awaiting shipment of 2) Bounty Basic aerogardens. I think the information of water change every 4 weeks is correct for good plant health. What are your views? For water, I was planning on using grocery store Spring water as it is very consistent in mineral content and highly filtered. Your views again? People should not consume RO or distilled water so why should plants. Use their mineral blend.
Curious, do you top your tanks off with Fresh Water between adding Nutrients? For instance, on mine, it wants more water every couple of days, and asks for new Fertilizer ever couple of weeks. Do you give it plain water every couple of days or the nutrient rick water?
Khang, I want to see you're face😂 no joke seriously. Love you're voice, keep up the good work. I really enjoy watching you're videos as I love growing chilli plants
My aerogarden is near a window so it gets natural sunlight for a few hours a day and then the timer is set for the light to kick-in so I get 18 hours of exposure for the plants.
Wow! You could tell you truly love this stuff and your plants. You noticed there resiliency. Peppers require serious patience Thank you for simplifying it.
its the "nitrogen" that causes the continued growth and leaf drop not feeding in general. if you used a different fert, one with the ratio like 1:2:3 it would flower like a boss.
I have a small aerogarden (sprout) and the bubbler stopped working so there is no air being pumped into the system. I don't want to throw it away. Is it ok for me to plant plants in this? Is there something I can do to help it. Thank you.
Hello Khang! Awesome video, as always! I just found your channel recently as I got interested in Hydroponics. I am a pepper guy, I currently have 5 varieties that are germinating/sprouts. I never really looked into hydroponics until a friend of mine told me that it works amazingly well for year round growing. I live in Alabama so it both gets 95f and 20f, neither of which do my peppers like. Do you think a full DIY DWC setup would be a better choice over an AeroGarden if I am willing to put in the time and bit of extra money? A few of my friends have AeroGardens and they are amazing, but they are a bit limiting. I will be growing primarily super hot peppers. Currently I am growing Death Spirals and Chocolates Ghosts/7 pots. Thank you for the videos!!!
I can't find anybody talking about getting rid of old stuck on dried up roots. I'm soaking the base of an old aerogarden hoping that will get rid of them making soft so I can scrub them out
I bought white Thai seeds from a trusted seller on Amazon. They happen to also sell the candlelight mutant pepper seeds of which I didn't purchase. They said there's no chance they crossed however I have several white Thai plants that are clearly mutated. Do you know if this is something that happens from time to time? They aren't long leaves like the candlelight but they are somewhat elongated and some leaves look like normal pepper leaves but appear to have Siamese characteristics. It's very odd but fascinating. I posted to pepper groups on Facebook with no real answers and searched Google high and low. Hoping you may have some insight? I want these to grow well and carry the genetics onto the next round.
Dear Khang , can You try to plant NGÒ OM ( rau ngổ) by hydroponic and by soil or.. . I plant many time spent time but not successful and lose money . I expect to plant NGÒ OM, for canh chua or phở it is nice... Thank you very much. happy day.
Morning Khang. I have questions. You said that the plants are miniature and that way You can cross and grow them out faster. So once You get the cross that You want, will the peppers stay small or will they grow bigger if You plant them outside? And do You top the pepper plants in the small containers to keep them small? Thanks.
Hey Khang? You think I can start Cantelope Seeds in Rockwool same as Peppers? I am a big fan, been growing Peppers for a long time, I built a New Raised Bed last year, I now have 3 that are 8 feet x 4 feet, and 20" tall. I want to try Cantelope and let the plants grow inside the Raised Bed and see what happens. But I want to start my seeds early using Rockwool, then double plastic cups (Bottom Feed), and then out to the Garden in April. Thanks, Keith
Basil grows nuts in a aerogarden. Mine got so thick like a tree stump I had to pull it out lol. Can you put rockwool in the baskets to start seeds or is there something else you use?
Very informative video like always, Khang. I know you grow for fun, but you should consider setting up Amazon affiliated links to the things you mention so you can at least make a little bit of money off things people buy. It doesn't cost your viewers anything, but it'll put a little change in your pocket for all your efforts. :) You should also try to get some of the companies to sponsor the stuff you use often. I'm not sure how that's done, but I think tagging them on Instagram helps.
Thanks for this video: I bought my AeroGarden about a year ago and my peppers took off with little interference from me. One question I have, if your pepper start really taking off and growing tall, can you just chop off the top and get it to a manageable size and then lower the light?
What size are the Grow and Bloom nutrients in the video? The link takes me to the ones on Amazon, but they are 8 oz bottles. The ones in your video look larger.
Great video and great channel! I have a newbie question though, you always say that pH for peppers in hydroponic setups should be around 6.0, why is that? Where I live the tap water holds over 7 pH..
Khang Starr i'm a huge fan. I need your advice. I've been able to grow some nice looking pepper plants but the never bear fruit. They've flowered multiple times but the flowers just die and fall off. I'm pollinating them by hand and they live in my grow tent w/lights. What am I doing wrong? Any advice is welcomed. Thanks!
Hey khang, could you help with a question? I crossed a cayenne pepper with a "havanna gold" and I am struggling with germination whereas usually I have a very good success rate just using a non heated propagator against my radiator. Any tips on different techniques I could use? I did germinate one seed but it wouldn't come out of shell and died.
@@notflanders4967 yes mate I let them slightly over mature possibly. They are very small seeds. I am using a 70-30 seedling compost to vermiculite at a guess, and every other seed I'm growing seems to be fine, eg numex twilight germinated in 5 days same with all my bell peppers and sweet pointed peppers. I'm assuming the cross was compatible as I did have one germinate out of like 8 but it wouldn't leave its seed casing. (Only being doing this 2 year)
@@shinramox1520Thats unfortunate but interesting. I hope you keep at it and are able to figure out what's going on. Maybe they are dormant but if they are near the radiator im not sure how likely that is. If a genomic conflict is in fact the culprit, then :( but i wouldn't know how to determine that.
@@notflanders4967 Thanks, I'm hoping something happens soon I haven't got many seeds left to play with haha. I'll try update if I get anything from it!
I understand do to space you don’t have much stock of your creations however I’ve been lusting your misery twins do you have a recommendation of a grower in the PLC that might assist me in obtaining the Sweet-Misery and Misery-Sweet seeds
I find it’s not the greatest for sprouting, I had a seedlings died on me because of algae, I use rock wool, then put the seedling in. I find this works best for me, and nutrients I use maxigrow works awesome
Omegawerewolfx I’ve changed my method I clean out the algae each week, my aerogarden is white. transplanted to soil, yeah I could see that being an issue, Ive transplant to kratky, DWC, and a DIY 5 Gallon bucket aerogarden. Work great 👍 actually I’ve cured smaller plants from root rot 🙂
Any Hydroponics shop can set you up with a budget set up - flood and drain systems are cheap (you can put one together yourself with a pump some pipes and fittings). My local guy builds aerogarden style systems himself and sells them at a good price. I had a 2x3 cardboard box with a couple of computer fans mounted in the sides and a small led light for starting seedlings - just grown in coco coir - or it was enough to hold 6 smaller peppers like the ones in the vid
Get yourself a little tent and a light also a fan. I use coffee containers and makey own little systems. You can drill a hole to get an air stone in there.
Be careful; apparently it depends on how the leaves are prepared (as well as what vegetable plant it is). This link might be a helpful start: aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/newsletters/hortupdate/hortupdate_archives/2002/may02/art4may.html
I would not. The Solanaceous (Solanaceae) family (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes, tobacco, and interestingly, petunias) is also called the nightshade family named after the belladonna plant (deadly nightshade). You can eat the fruits and tubers, but the leaves, stems, and flowers are supposed to contain toxic alkaloids. Although deer can eat them just fine...
