Can a complete hydroponic salad be grown in one tote? Watch me violate the laws of hydroponics and find out.
I grew a radish, romaine and butter crunch lettuce, cilantro, and 2 Nantes Coreless carrots in a 3 gallon Rubbermaid tote with square holes cut in the lid for the 1.5 inch Grodan Rockwool cubes. This is the same tote I used to grow Kratky hydroponic carrots. Carrot grow details at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYa0Syea4P0
Plants were grown Kratky style, however several top offs (to about 50 percent reservoir capacity) were performed. Some refills were fresh tap water and some were nutrient solution (depending on appearance of new growth in plants).
Thrips forced me to restart the grow, because I didn’t want to be spraying stuff in my office. Pest issue details at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHLbzEsSw8k
I don’t check PH anymore, but in the past, this tap water has started around 7.8 and comes with about 350ppm of salts (mostly calcium I hope).
My setup:
Light fixture is a 4 bulb 4 ft T5 Milliard grow light 216 watts 6500k.
Tops of the plants were on average 8 inches from the bulbs.
14 hours on 10 off light cycle was maintained by a digital Hydrofarm timer (little white box everyone else uses).
Office environment stayed around 70 degrees F with 40 – 50 percent relative humidity.
Nutrient Solution Recipe (same thing I grow everything in)
1 gallon water
2 grams MasterBlend Tomato 4-18-38
2 grams Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0
1 gram Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)

All vegetarians should be required to grow their own plants. That should keep them busy and off the streets.
Try planting a Watermelon!

Started off watching a video on how to make cheese scones, then injecting human sperm into a chicken egg and then this. another sub for you. great video!
I thought salad grows with a wheelchair

All the plants that died
All the nutrients used
All the forces of nature he ignored.
For a salad.

Why does this sound like the ending of a really good movie or a Sherlock Holmes episode
"This tap water has a PH of didn't check"
I lost my shit HAHAHAHA
Finally i can see a root without dirt
I need to do something different. I have tried using those little brown round wafers that you add water to and come in a little plastic greenhouse and I haven't had sh*t sprout. I can't even get mold to grow in the damned things.
This is the most hilariously entertaining gardening video I have ever seen 😂
If you would buy a salad from the store, it would be alot cheaper than buying the nutrients, water, seeds, and a large bucket.
Are you okay? By the way this is gold
