  • AH, I'm the fellow who designed it. I'm so happy to see great results. I'm adding this video to my favorites.

  • @SleestaksRule Hey thanks for adding my vid to your favorites. I did find you again and was going to give you props on my next update video. Great job on the lawyer kills on the phonebook by the way! Also thanks for subscribing I did the same.

  • 10 days from seed?

  • @tester083 My video was a little deceiving. The seeds were started 10 days earlier in Jiffy pellets with 1/4 strength nutrient, lights, and heating element. Then have been in hydro for 10 days. So the plants are actually 20 days old but most of the growth came from the hydro system. The seedlings were very small when they went into the hydro. Sorry for the confusion.

  • Wow, ten days from seed. That's some fantastic growth. I'll have to look into hydroponics.

    Regards, Gary

  • @garygardens Hi Gary nice to hear from you. I watched my video back and the 10 days is deceiving. The herbs were in the hydro for 10 days but the seeds were started in jiffy pellets with 1/4 strength nutrient, lights, and heating pad 10 days prior. So the plants are 20 days old but the major growth has been in the hydro system. The seedlings were very small when put in hydro. I highly recommend trying it. The gentlemen named Sleestaksrule on you tube designed the system. check his videos.

  • did you say cfl lights? I thought you needed full spectrum light

  • Can I do that very cooll I will grow some soon

  • Hey Jksax914,

    How do you build your system if you don't mind me asking? I'm new to hydroponics and need a good cheap system with high yields. Your system looks great!! Perfect size too. :D

  • Very nice systems and great-looking plants! It's always a great pleasure to see videos like these showing simple hydroponics systems that give outstanding yields. Thanks for sharing this video to us. I would like to congratulate you for a job well done on your hydro garden. Your basil plants are simply awesome because they do not only look amazing but like you said, they smell great as well. :)

  • @Jksax914 Even so, that's darn good growth. I started looking around at hydroponics a bit so I'm starting to learn. I've also been subscribed to Sleestaksrule for some time and have made his light fixture which works great. Think I'll try something right after the holidays. Thanks again,

    Gary

  • @Jksax914 I had mine going till Fall. That sweet basil is a monster and you'll always have too much. I just planted a new crop in it of lemon basil and sage but under metal halide lights instead of a windowsill. I just want to see crazy growth (fingers crossed).

  • @tester083 The lights I'm currently using are CFL 6500K 26W. Im looking for higher wattage in the 6500k but havent found them yet. I have found higher wattage 2700k that im going to use for flowering the peppers and cucumbers along with 6500k. The lights run for 16 hrs a day.
