Seems like a legit way to get what you want without waiting for seeds. Could be done with potted plants from the nursery to get more variety ( my store is always out of fresh herbs) experiments where stem was split before propagated yielded more roots along all surfaces. Thanks for reminding me. I lost my herbs to summer heat and want to retry with hydroponic. I have to go to Lowes for a fence post, ill pick up some small herb plants , hydroppropagate some stems and pot up the rest of the plant, best of both worlds. Edit to add: im doing this with catnip and basil. I intend to plant sprouts all around my yard to deter deer. 2st 2 years I grew basil among other fruiting plants, no problem. Third year I grew no basil, and deer stripped and chomped every plant bare. Deer don't like mint plants so I am growing an abundance of catnip and basil to protect my other plantings like tomato and green leafy plants. The cats and Italians will love me!
@@JimmyBHarvestsis it possible to do this with cut Parsley bunches?? I love parsley and eat much more than most people I know but any time I see parsley plants for sale they look pretty anemic and sad. I’d love some advice.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I moved to Montréal from Boston and food prices are so high here and so are fresh herbs. I started growing Thai basil that I had purchased and leaves are already forming in 3 days!! And can you tell is where you purchased the little tiny black baskets that you let the sprigs rest in? And why clay tablets? I think I will give the hydroponic route a try. Also, is city water okay for these plants? I typically use tap water but allow it to set in a large bowl to get rid of the chemicals they add to make sure it’s drinkable, and run it thru a filter-but is there a way to harvest tap water for growing herbs this way?
Thk u, I always see big operation $$ & got me scared. Last year was going to do it but was short in expenses. & the heat bug killed every thing. This coming season will be doing this & after this video going to start on my gb. Thx
very good and cheap tutorial for persons, who haven't much place in house and time to care about seeds and seedlings. I using hydroponics for herbs (i using canna aqua vega fertilizers), it look very good on windowsill.
I mostly use spaghetti sauce jars. It can be tricky to get a fit - i'd recommend looking for net cups with a wide lip at the top. CZ brand (on amazon) are the best I've ever used and have the widest lip i've been able to find. The wider the lip, the more hole size flexibility you will have!
Some people use little plastic pieces 'neoprene collars' they would be called. You can diy them as well. The purpose of the pebbles is to block the light and keep the plants supported upright. Any material that can aide in those two pursuits is probably fine
If you apply root toner to the stem you cut off like where it was cut from on the plant and not the actual cutting would the stem regrow a leaf back in that spot or would the stem just close up/heal on its own?
Jimmy this is Chris Warren. Do you remember the robot devil in the hammock jersey I gave you, at your mom's house. Was involved in this industry big time. And would love to help my kids with a youtube channel. Would love to talk. Proud to see what you are doing. Have seen and learned a lot about this indusy over the years would like to share my experience with ya. Your mom told me about the channel.
Jimmy did ya get my e mail. I got a lot of knowledge about what you are doing. Also seen the bus side of it and know people involved. Don't smoke weed but worked for a company and grew the strongest stuff the government had tested at the time about 13 years ago 29%. Me and the guys I worked with were on cover of high times , and in the mag 3 other times. I was really into organics. Could give ya a lot of ideas for vids have made many products, also being a machinist, tool and die maker can also make them from thought too reality.
I have rosemary and thyme I always buy in those small containers. I always waste them so it’s 2024 Aug I’m starting to do this with my herbs so I don’t waste anymore.
@@JimmyBHarvests thank you so much . I am working on propagation of sage now . if you have any advice to me for growing olives from seeds . these seeds are from turkey black olives natural kind . I am trying different ways to make seeds germinate .
Was it tall and skinny or bushy. I've had basil grow 5 feet tall but they were skinny and lanky. The flowers at the end if the growing season were a delight for the bees and butterflies and were pretty as well.
@@Metqa it was tall and bushy and grow unstopably needed only support so i put a cage of 8 feet tall and he grown ove the fence i mean the supporting cage
thank you, Jimmy, you help keep hope alive for the disenfranchised

Good tip with the basil - didn't know that about the flowers.

What do you add to the water for nutrients?

For propagating rosemary make sure the stem is still green.
I need to get on this! So simple and easy.
Reefer is more fun.
Thanks Shin!! 🙏🙏🙏 always appreciate the support!
I love your videos! Grew some store bought basil leaves...going strong 💪
🙏🙏🙏 greatly appreciate the support! Best of luck with your basils!
4:46 Hmmmmmm whats that in the back right there??? lookin like some good herb mon 🔥🕶🚬
mint works too
Great video! What nutrients do you feed the cuttings?
Love your vids man. I got an miracle grow aerogarden and it uses little coco coir pods that work perfect for rooting these
Thanks Hugh! The aerogardens look great, perfect size for herbs. Best of luck with your grows!
Thank you for this video! I love how simple you explained everything! Very well done! 👍
Good video Jimmy, cheers buddy
Thanks bro 🙏🙏🙏
What about Parsley?
Love your videos Jimmy!
🙏🙏 thank you for the support!!

Love to hear it, I agree! Best of luck with your plants!
hi thanks for the video. can u please do a video for cilantro cuttings? (without the roots). thanks!
Where did you get your mason jars? I want to make sure I get the right ones for my 2" net cups. Thanks!

awesome tutorial
Which type stems would have taken roots faster, the younger & greener ones or the older, woody & darker in colour??
Great video. I'm wondering are there any other alternatives to using pebbles?
Some people use little plastic pieces 'neoprene collars' they would be called. You can diy them as well.
The purpose of the pebbles is to block the light and keep the plants supported upright. Any material that can aide in those two pursuits is probably fine
Does it work for parsley?
If you apply root toner to the stem you cut off like where it was cut from on the plant and not the actual cutting would the stem regrow a leaf back in that spot or would the stem just close up/heal on its own?

Rosemary stems should not be woody but green. Cinnamon is a great natural root stimulator
Got basil going and am going to get green onions and cilantro to start growing in hydroponics (kratky)
Lets gooo! Good luck!
is that just generic white acrylic paint to prevent evaporation? nice idea! might give it a try..i have a ton of gesso that could be good for that
Random spray paint. Helps keep the reservoir cooler and algae free!
@@JimmyBHarvests okay great thank you! didn't even think about the algae
Will this work w chives? I just threw some in a glass of water in the window.
When do you eat them?
Any luck with cilantro?
I have rosemary and thyme I always buy in those small containers. I always waste them so it’s 2024 Aug I’m starting to do this with my herbs so I don’t waste anymore.
which nutrient you are adding . i am interested
Advanced nutrients - micro/grow/bloom series. Google 'hydroponic nutrients' there are plenty of options which all work similarly in my experience
