    All right, that was fascinating! Please do follow-up videos to show the results from week to week. I wonder how many other vegetables you can grow with this. It would be great to have fresh greens in northern Missouri in the winter months with this thing. Thanks for sharing!

      @NixPix  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you for your question. It did very well for me I don’t eat big salads but puts lots of lettuce leaves on my wraps so I pick and let it grow back I have a few shots of it in my monthly recap videos right now we have Bok choy 🥬 in it. But I have been happy with the performance for how I use it

    I have this system and started Bibb Lettuce and found that the lower rows are not spaced far enough. My plants grow into the next row up and it starts touching the lights. :( It was a good first setup for me though, got me thinking about my next project. I think I will do vertical growing instead.

    • @NixPix
      @NixPix  Před 10 měsíci

      Yes, you nailed it there. It is actually a great unit to get you started with. That’s great that your plants are so big you ran out of room not a bad problem to have. 😄

    Hi there. Found your channel through a live stream we were on last weekend. Your channel looks great. We will be following along. I love this hydroponic idea. I wonder if we could adapt that for use while living full time on the road in an RV....hmmmm. Thanks for sharing. D&J

      @AandKmom Před 2 lety

      We are also planning to use hydroponics in our RV. My first "garden" will have 108 plant sites and it only takes up about 18x36" of floor space. I may put it on wheels so I can unlatch it from it's on-the-road location and wheel it outside (depending on local pests). If it works out well, I'll likely add at least one other unit. Would love to keep in touch with other RVers.

  • @FernTheCamper
    @FernTheCamper Před 3 lety

    Looking forward to seeing how you get on with this. Ours was doing great until the raccoons kept pulling the pump out and then deciding to pull all our lettuce plugs out. Little poops! Hoping you get great results!
    PS - I'm tempted to turn one of our rooms into a grow room and get loads of LED grow lights for the hydroponic system. It might be a fun winter activity for me, seeing as even in SoCal, the light is still insufficient for my personal needs. Sunlamps and lettuce forests in the bedroom lol!

    • @NixPix
      @NixPix  Před 3 lety

      Well I hope I don't have to deal with the Raccoons the unit is on my back screened in porch. I don't know what to say about the PS we tried doing some a few years ago and didn't have much luck I think its a lot of work. I will tell you, you still get bugs so you have to decide if thats an option for you, hubby doesn't want any dirt in the house we already have to deal with spiders and ants all the time.

    Hello, great video! I bought a different model but I wanted to ask if you had anny leak problems with your hydroponic kit so far as I've seen that you didn't use any water insulating tape at the joints. I'm mounting mine now and adding the tape just to be safe. I wsa just curious if yours leaked so far. Thanks for the video!
