Hydroponics Made Easy! Today, we’re going to grow some lettuce in just water! No soil, no digging, no mulching, and no worrying about watering! As a soil-lover, this is going to be an interesting one!
Join me today for part 2 in this 3 part series where we grow lettuce, right from seed, and then transplant into the Vivosun 4 Bucket DWC Hydroponic system. Part 1 explained Hydroponics, setting up the system (indoors in this case) as well as planting the lettuce plugs (I cheat and use a litttttle bit of soil). In today’s video, we’ll connect all the connectors, check on and plant the lettuce plugs into the system, and finally, fire it up and pray for no leaks!

Yeah… Devil's lettuce, amirite? (Someone always say it, I just wanted to be the first one this time.)

Where do you get the buckets from??
Hello Jeff , great info and love your videos, but all that hydro stuff is so expensive!! Maybe some day I’ll try some.
I've learnt so much from you in just a few weeks, thanks for the amazing content you put out there
For hydroponic lettuce you can do it extremely cheap in the Kratky hydroponic method. Set it and forget it. No concerns on leaks from holes or air bubbler needed.
No, not lettuce! Something with fruit, like tomatoes! Thanks for the vids.
This may be how we grow vegetables in the future as the climate changes; flooding, too hot etc…
The added plus is we have a big sunroom to do this in. What do you think?
Accckk lecca needs to be washed and boiled a few times before using. It lowers the ph.
