love this channel. thx man.

[poojkhgf]

Come Halloween do you think it will rise up out of the Pumpkin patch?.....

[FaYtStAyNyTe]

Double up on the answer of yellowing of the leaves is chemical deficiencies. Adding chelated iron will solve the problem. Magnesium and potassium will help also.

[jyatzy123]

why have hydroponics outside???

[HowToHydroponics]

@jyatzy123 free light.

[NamesROverated]

won't it eventually root into the dirt? soooo therefore it won't be hydroponics anymore? :O

[jyatzy123]

@NamesROverated omfg yur fukin stupid he has it in a container you idiot wow

[NamesROverated]

@jyatzy123 Dude you're fucking retarded. I'm fully aware of it's existence in a container. But you know, vine plants grow roots on the vines when they make contact with soil. Those are called secondary roots. He mentioned them in the video. So quit being retarded, learn more about plants, and use proper english because you're the retard in this situation.

[jyatzy123]

@NamesROverated lmao yeah thats why hydroponics shouldnt be outside!

[NamesROverated]

@jyatzy123 um, no. He has hydroponics outside cause not everybody has the money for expensive lights. Electricity costs a lot you know? He could easily put something underneath the vines to stop them from rooting, but he doesn't, cause it takes too much to feed it with nutrient. He's letting the soil help the pumpkin grow as well as the nutrient solution.

[NamesROverated]

@jyatzy123 The only reason you wanna keep your hydroponics inside is cause you'll be growing weed lmao

[jyatzy123]

@NamesROverated you know its legal were i am idiot

[NamesROverated]

@jyatzy123 hostile much? Better smoke up cause you need to chill the fuck out.

[jyatzy123]

@NamesROverated were do u live?

[nosexinside]

I want a new videoooooo :)).

[gshafferdesign5110]

hey man. when are you planning on doing another video? just wondering the progress of your pumpkin.

[HowToHydroponics]

@gshafferdesign5110 Currently I'm still out at work in Argentina, I get back home on the 12th.I leave again on the 16th for 2 weeks. I hope to have a new video or two between the 12th and 16th.

magnesium deficiancy..cool grow man thats innovateive!!!!

Place a secondary vine over a pan of water, place a wick in the pan and wrap around the vine several times. I would use capillary cloth, drape it over the vine and into the water.(cover from light). Now you can have total DWC growth.

[morbly]

My Giant pumpkin is now the about size of a basketball, It was planted in a nice DWC system and re rooted in the other sites and another small bucket (also DWC). The plant is still making male flowers all over the place and my pH keeps dropping to near 4. Aphids are a little bit of a problem but I unleashed some ladybugs on them. The yellowing on yours makes me think of iron deficiency but your pH looks good...

[hoopwantok]

The young tender runners can be cooked as a vegetable. Outer skin of the vine needs to be peeled, a bit fiddly. Then stir fry with some crushed garlic and seasoning.

[19Photographer76]

I had the same issue, added chelated Fe and it turned things around (once the sun came out). A major player is the lack of warm/sunny weather in many areas this year.

[121310]

I recommend you use EC not ppm. Because ppm on some meters isn't the same as others but EC is.

[TheArchenoha]

Hi,

wher did you buy your six in one monitor (PH EC meter)?



[HowToHydroponics]

@TheArchenoha got it off ebay I think it came from China. Not the best quality item but it seems to be working.

[DrJerryrigger]

That looks like a nutrient deficiency of some kind, maybe mag or K. Though a high pH shouldn't cause much of a deficiency in those... Keep an eye on it, and keep us updated. Is that just on older growth?

[HowToHydroponics]

@DrJerryrigger It is on older growth (just a couple of leaves) but I've seen small signs of it on some newer growth too. I might just hit it up with some sulphur spray just to be safe.

[nicpetnic]

I grow giant pumpkins. The yellow leaf thing is not a deficiency and usually happens when it is cool or cloudy but is not a disease and it does not negatively effect the plant or pumpkin.

[DrKojiin]

You make very nice and clear videos.

[grandtheft884]

I love PUMPKINS!!!!!!! You should show us when the pumpkins start growing. Also what color are these giant pumpkins? Red, orange, or white?

[MIgardener]

if you want a giant "pumpkin" not pumpkins, you should stem it off, right after the first fruit, once you are 100% sure that it has survived the pollinaton faze, cut off any extra growth, and flowers. this will put about 95% of the energy into the one pumpkin, and i can almost guarantee a giant.... hope that might help you out. thanks for the awesome update!

[ZiggyScrubs]

Yellowing.... Google "Downy Mildew"

[tyle6]

@ZiggyScrubs and just pray its not powdery mildew setting in!

[SleestaksRule]

I had cucumber beetles totally chew off the main stem of my pumpkin plant one year. The roots that form as the vine spreads kept it alive and I had some nice pumpkins. Hope that sucker makes a giant one, good luck.
