See my blog http://frugalhydroponics.blogspot.com/ for updated photos, system design and build, growing updates, and hydroponic information for indoor growing. This video is an update of the ebb and flow system and the deep water culture system growing lettuce over the past few months. The ebb and flow will be torn down and cleaned for the next use very shortly. The deep water culture will take over the perpetual lettuce grow keeping the family in fresh greens.

  • Hey man, thanks for this video.

    Not so much on the systems themselves - but it shows people how realistic it is to grow some of your OWN food.

    Great Video.

  • @LookieLoudLou

    Thanks. I think it is a valuable skill set. I look to expand the capabilities with a greenhouse / hoophouse to take advantage of natural light and the additional room. I'll cut a video when we do it!

  • Your Ebb and Flow system seems to be producing better looking plants than the DWC. The lettuce and basil are looking so delicious and healthy. Did the plants from the DWC setup receive the same amount of light and nutrients just like in the Ebb and Flow? If they did, that only goes to show that it is easier to produce better looking plants in the Ebb and Flow than with the DWC.

  • @plantlife102 The ebb and flow has been running quite a while and the lettuce in the DWC is very recent. The dates and growth rates are all on the blog. At this point, I have a good basis for comparison over the next several weeks. The lettuce in the EF is now fully harbested and done as well as the basil. I will post another video of the DWC progress in the near future.

    Thanks!

see all
