  1. Thanks for the great video, Tikki! Do you find that the algae cotton balls negatively impact your Folgers kratky set-up? Or does the algae die off from lack of light exposure?

  2. Great video Tikki O. Very informative. Did you do a review on the hydroponics tower and I missed it? If no, please do and let me know if you like it. Thanks.

  3. I am going to start an indoors hydroponic garden because of your videos! you make it look so easy and fun. I think it's a great hobby to wait out the pandemic. my seeds will come tomorrow. thank you so much for making these wonderful videos my favorites are those that show the progression (like this one)

  4. I so enjoy your videos and knowledge. I have learned so much from you. You teach well, speak clearly and give us great info! I only have two hydroponic systems, an aero garden harvest and a 12 pod moistenland. Both are doing great. If I decide to branch out, you will be my guide! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

  5. What lights do you use for indoor growing. I have no suitable windows. I bought a blue/red light that I am not getting good results with. Are LED best? What combination of white/blue/red lights are best.

  6. I love how you are putting to use plastic materials. I think I will mention this to our Green Team at work to show people how they can put some of their plastic garbage to good use, rather than throwing it in the recycling bin for "recycling".

  7. I am over 70 yrs of age and just now getting into Hydroponics. So far have ran into one issues, that is after one mixing up the MASTERBLEND 4-18-38 Complete Combo Kit Fertilize, lets say for 5 gallons. Wait, my container has only up to a 3 gallons in capacity, with three 3-inch & three 2-inch holes in it, a kind of long container & it has an air stone in it, bubbling away, and wrap to keep the sun out. So the question is this, 1) Do I have to throw out the current water in the container and then add back in the solution of Masterblend & water? 2) Do I just add in the some of the Masterblend solution? 3) If of to add part of the Masterblend solution, just how much & how often? Currently sprouting Basil and Lettuce, the sprouting seedlings are 5 days old right now. Hope you can be of some help. Thanks, The Old Person.

  8. Your editing cracks me up in a good way. So simple but it does the job. I’ve been watching many of your videos every night for the past week. Learning a ton from you. I really appreciate that you go through the steps but also The whole growing season too. Keep the vids coming!
