Thank you for showing me that hydroponics really is doable! Ordering my supplies and excited to give this a try. I've been a conventional gardener for over a decade but hydroponics has seemed very daunting -- until now. Thank you again 😊
watercress is amazing was grown in the English winters for a Veg way back when .Brimming with more than 15 essential vitamins and minerals, gram for gram, watercress contains more vitamin C than oranges, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach and more folate than bananas. This super-healthy plant will help to keep you in tiptop shape and ranks at the top of many superfood lists.
Thanks for the share Khang! I really appreciate you taking us through the one month process in only a few minutes! =)
excelelnt update brother . I love how you always using things in the house to hel you grow
Excellent Video showing how simple it can be to grow Watercress, one of my favorite Veggies!!
Hi from the UK, excellent video thanks for this I just bought some watercress seeds so I can start them off soon.
All the best
Steve
Awesome video. Your watercress look real beautiful. Really enjoyed.
Great video thanks for sharing. Another suggestion -instead of dealing with those tiny seeds, is simply buying a bunch of watercress in the supermarket and using about 2 inches or so of the harder stems -many of which will already have roots -in your kratky or deep water hydro system
Nice. I kratky'ed some watercress over the last few months indoors and also have some going outside in the greenhouse.
Hey Khang. My mom wanted some watercress, out of the blue, so, I decided to check out one of your videos and try to grow some indoor for her. Great info. Thanks and take care.
Very nice Khang. Thanks for sharing that.
We love watercress! Great video!
Khang, you receive an A+ for a great and innovative approach to growing watercress!
Thank you sir!
You know you're doing it right if the master himself gives you an A+ ;-)
Excellent cant wait to try it out!
This my favorites plant thanks for shearing
Fantastic content! Thank you!!!!!
I 'm growing my water cress grew outdoor. It took forever to germinate and growing in the Fall, probably due to the old seeds, not growing as fast like in this clip. They've just starting to take off recently and survive some very cold frost down to 18 F ( with a little protection by plastic covering).
Excellent video!
Boom! You g9t me interested I can't wait to grow my own stuff...Super 👍 food thank You.
amazing video that explain everything
as you said this work with all kind of hydroponic nutrient I hope it's work with mine
nutrient solution.
Nice video yet again, thank you. the roots coming out at the joints along the stem. As a teen I had a horse, not a car, and I roamed a rural area of S. California, sort of lived on my mares back. One day she and I were in a long gorge called La Barranca, it had a stream in the bottom of a 150 ft drop. We would go there and rest hang out, she would eat grass. I also foraged, I found watercress growing in the little stream also wild celery once, yes I ate them. I am curious how watercress might do in a lengthy container like crops that run? Anyway, thanks for the videos you are an inspiration to me. btw... 40+ years ago how pristine our water was, sure hope we can try to keep it clean or get it back to it's pristine conditions.
Cool, btw you can’t drown watercress roots as they grow almost fully submerged in the wild.
Thank you! Very helpful.
It's a great joy to learn from you here,thanks so much,pls what type of fertiliser did you use
Planted a sprig in a spring near my house last spring. Plants growing in two inches of water. It’s about 8ft in diameter now
This was a very good video. How do you harvest? I wish you had shown that part.
Thank you dear,
Please share with us the right temperature for watercress.
Thanks for the video I have a question how much degree is good to put my plant there ?
When I put it under light
Thanks 😊
Thanks for the video. I have also watch the video narrowed by Kratky himself. Wondering if you reckon I can use coco coir as the medium? I am planning to grow them in a quart mason jar. Also, in his video i believe he had the bottom 1" of the net pot submerged in the reservoir at the start. Is there any particular reason you had reservoir level way below?
How do you harvest? Just cut off the leaves above the roots and let it continue to grow?
can i grow it indoor with t8 flourescent houshold ?
I like your videos a lot. I want to continue to do this but anytime I add nutrients in any system like this I always end up with a fly problem which I just don't want in my apartment. I dont believe they were aphids, but gnats. i am trying to grow my watercress outdoors now, but have not gotten seeds to sprout. I may have over watered, though the advice is to give plenty of water. sigh
what temperature u keep in the grow tent ?
Khang, great video. Thanks for sharing. Your pepper plants in the background look gorgeous. What type of lighting system are you using? T5 bulbs or something else? Please provide me the details. Thanks
It's the light from the Aerogarden Bounty.
JAHBLESS, SOULJAH
Can u eat this type of watercress
and how can I win some of your reaper pepper sauce it looks good and I like the heat and I love the fact that what you do to your plants and how much care you put into them and would you ever grow and sell your plants ?
I don't sell plants, but you can find many that do here. They grow very similar to what I have plus.google.com/u/0/communities/108941091055228073469
Your the man too kang
Thanks for sharing your information!
Where I live, there are no hydroponic stores, or supplies. We do not have rockwool. If I want to do this, I will have to piecemeal it together. What are the nutrients? I am guessing N-P-K-Ca-Mg, but in what ratios? We can get peat, but it looks like rodent bedding. I have limited success with growing outdoors in soil using a pellet fertilizer I found (thank you Google Translate!) but this hydroponics looks somewhat simple and a little idiot-proof (good for me!), and I won't have to worry about bugs or the occasional typhoon.
James B I saw someone using just compost tea. I have fed my plants just water from growing sprouts and they love it. I also add sprout water to cutting I have stuck in bottles, and they do well in that for a long time. I also googled, a long time ago, homemade hydroponic nutrients and there were several results. It was too complicated for me. My sprout water and compost tea seem ok to me. I am getting some hydroponic nutrients from amazon, just to see if it really is better.
Isn't rock wool a hazardous material?
What nutrient is that? Is that 100% organic?
looks nice... what's the flavor like?
If you eat them raw, they have a slight spicy flavor. Stir fry is best.
Hi khang really nice viceo but where can i buy rock wall and is it mandatory to use ?
Rockwool. Google it!
Hello
hey khang Starr do you put your seeds in the fridge or do you just leave it on the side in a warm place until the seed starts to sprout ?
Most seeds sprout better when it's warmer, like peppers. I leave them under my grow lights to sprout.
hi khang. can you suggest a good website where i could buy quality seedlings? thanks
What type of seeds are you looking for?
That watercress looks good! By the way, what are they charging nowadays on those Aerogardens?
I have a discount code for our community that anyone can use. Use "PepperLovers20" to get really good discounts.
Thanks. What does the price end up being with the coupon code and is it aerogarden's own website where it can be used?
I looked on Amazon today to see what they cost these days and was shocked to find that prices haven't really gone down much if at all since they first came out.
I don't know. Go to the website and enter the code to see www.aerogarden.com/
what you can't drown watercress.
Watercress seeds are can be bought from indian groceries shops its called kalonji in hindi and indians use them for cooking..
Thanks for this info!
watercress can grow on wet floor just need water :p
I always wonder what is in the "nutrients". If it's based on tap water from my country it's full of asbestos and iron hahaha
I don’t it will drown since it has many air roots above the rock wool :)
Very informative. I love watercress, I just made a video with watercress salad 🥗. You should check it out. A new friend with full support.
Khang, be careful of your "s" ending words. Vietnamese people don't pronounce them, but for good English u need to. Example: "bring" should be "brings" for singular subjects. "grow" should be "grows" for singular subjects. Example: It grows well - NOT it grow well. Listen to your video.
ffs
Thank you for your video! I don't enjoy growing outdoors because of the bugs, heat, and health issues, so I grow microgreens. I saved a lot of money by swapping out the rockwool with those green scrubbing pads. Love my microgreens salads.🥬
