I got all kind of goodies to show you good morning how’s everybody doing today hopefully everybody’s off to a great productive day so on today’s video I’m going to be showing y’all a couple things I ordered for my 2025 Garden all right y’all so the two things that I’ve been waiting for and I’m excited to um share with y’all I’m about to open up now so the first one is this right here handy dandy knife oh I got to sharpen this thing got d all right let’s see let’s get it pulled out ah struggle the struggle’s real all right this thing got a lot of parts y’all all right give me a minute let me pull this out and I’ll be right back with you all right so I got the parts pulled out and and I’m just going to put it together so I’m going to do a time lapse of me just throwing this thing together but this is a miniature indoor Greenhouse for starting your seeds [Music] [Music] all right y’all so liking this little rack right here then it has the plastic to go over it I’mma throw that on here in just a second comes with wheels I’m not going to put the wheels on it cuz I’m not going to move it and I actually measured this little corner before I even put this rack up cuz I knew I had this coming to make sure was going to fit so let me throw the plastic on right quick and then we’ll cut you back on and show you how how it looks all right y’all not too bad I’m liking it this is how it looks with the plastic on it and you can zip it up and down from the front and the back it um comes with zip ties and then you just tie it around on the bottom down there then you can uh actually roll the plastic up try to get back so y can see it better but see it I’m going roll the plastic up up open it up got the ties up there to tie it up let’s go ahead and throw my seeds I got my seeding sitting over there so let’s go ahead and get those picked up and throw it in here once I get oh you know what I forgot about the racks I was sitting there looking about the Open Spaces I forgot I got the racks right there so I’m going to throw the racks in put the seeds in there and then we’ll cut you back on okay so before I put the seedlings in there I wanted to give y’ another look at it and have y’all take a look at the shells it’s just these little wire shells they don’t fit on there perfect see how they all flimsy and stuff and everything I’m showing y’all was inexpensive you know cuz gardening does not have to be um expensive so let me go ahead and throw the seeds on there and then we’ll see but I can tell I mean it’s it’s cheap plastic cheap U metal racking but long as it serves the purpose of me being a to put my seeds in there and get them started because my next thing I’m about to open up is going right over here okay so getting this set up I still got to figure out how I really want to do it and how I’m going to go about uh I’m probably going to put like a little hole in the top up there so I can run the grill light through right now just got it flapped in but see the concept y’all I got 100% germination ah can’t even talk 100% germination on the seeds I planted and I just knocked this one over right here if you been watching the video when I did a review on this Dome the Dome just slid and hit it and that’s what it did but hopefully it’ll bounce back but 100% germination on the U seeds so last but not least this is my 54 Cale hydroponic station I end up getting the vertical one over the horizontal because it takes up less space and the game plan is to hang it off of this rack right here so I’m going go ahead and just put this together and then I’ll cut y’all back on once it put once I have it put together okay so I wanted to make sure I showed y’all this how they got it nicely packaged but yes this is a 54 sale hydroponic growth station and the name of the company if I can hold on to the panel I mean to the paperwork so there we go that’s how the sale’s going to look right there and then I have to put my container where that pipes coming down at the bottom to run my um nutrients through the um system all right so for the most part I got the majority of it set up so I have that um rack that I got in the back there holding it up it’ll go into that bucket there with the tubing and you see I just got a zip tide right now and it’s a 54 sale got my 54 netting pots I’mma go ahead and get those inserted in give it a little test run and let you know what I think about everything show you one thing real quick I like The netting pots the white ones better than the regular ones cuz see how the bottom are the bottom of these ones are and you have to um pretty much thread The Roots through as far as this one is opened up so it’s easier to get the roots through so I do like that and it sits in there at an angle so it doesn’t move around as far as like the circle ones how they move around when they in the um inserted you know in here all right so I got all the 54 netting pots put inside there and they actually give you three extra ones which that is good um it comes with everything you see here minus minus this rack right here uh I end up purchasing this rack from Walmart for $8 and I Ed that for um my grow light stands like that right there and that’s plant scw you just lift the um legs up but I got this one lifted all the way up got the rack on there so now you see why I went with the vertical versus the horizontal now I can just have it leaned up right over there and grow 54 plants um over there it comes with the um hose here and the um submergible pump so I’m going go ahead and clean my uh bucket out get the nutrients set up I know I’m probably going to I don’t know if this 2 gallon bucket is going to be enough to fill it and run it and what it is um the water uh come in through here it’ll go up here supposed to go here come down go through this one come down and vice versa go through all of them flowing then drain back into the bucket and just keep going and recycling the same water over and over so I use my rubber mallet and gently tap to get the ends close so hoping that we don’t get any leaks but even though I did that still got a little gap between this one and little gap between that one so we’re going to see how it’s going to do so I’m going go ahead and do a test run right quick and then I’ll cut y’all back on another thing I forgot to mention it comes with these little styrofoam inserts or you can even take that styrofoam and set it inside of these right here versus using rock wool then got um the pump the submergible U pump right here and then a timer so I have the timer set I don’t know if y’all can hear the water running can y’all hear that so the water’s running I don’t know if this two gallon bucket is going to be big enough we’ll see you see how low it is I filled it up to right here and it’s all the way down there and it hasn’t started coming back out the reservoir then got the timer set to be on and off for a different amount of time depending on what you want so we’re going to see if this two gallon bucket is going to work and now I’m I have to go and go get one of my five gallon buckets and then I’m going to go ahead and get some plants put in here I ordered some everbearing uh strawberry beer root plants and so I’m going go ahead and get it set up and like I said this is 54 sale so I’m going keep everything on the same Row the same so I’m going end up putting the strawberries on the uh very top up there and then we’ll do like lettuce and spinach and all and I’m just going to I’m experiment y’all I’m just experiment that’s what Garden is about experimenting and trying different things so I’m going let this go for a second oh and the good thing is it’s not leaking so I was wondering if it was going to leak and there’s uh absolutely no leaks a couple reviews said it was leaking but I don’t know if they took a rubber mallet and made make sure everything was you know clamped down real good but I have no leaks okay so right after I turned y off it started coming out so the water is draining out which mean the entire Reservoir is filled up with water and it’ll keep running through pushing the nutrients through okay so I had the strawberry beer root plant inserted into the new hydroponic system and I ordered them from the same company that I got these one from excuse the light y’all I got to get my lights and get this room situated now but these are the same strawberries from the same company and they already producing strawberries within 3 months so got two rows of um strawberries there and then now going to come over here and I’m going to get some Nappa cabbage and we’re going to try some Nappa cabbage and some kale in that hydroponic system and then we’re going to do this lettuce and spinach that’s U sprouted um inside of there in the rock wall and for I’m going try something different this year for everything that I grow in a container I’mma grow it hydroponically too just to see just to experiment and see which one grows faster see what’s um see which one grows faster if it if there’s a difference in taste but um I’m just just going to have fun with it y’all okay y’all so it also came with the tweezers right here you see that the tweezers to uh remove seedlings that’s how I’ve been taking them out and I actually been utilizing the little styrofoam cubes I cut them in half and uh we’ll cut one side open a slit and then putting them in there and then they look like this right here so I do have the plants in there and I will get all this stuff labeled as of what it’s going to be okay y’all so finally got probably about like 40 42 of the Sals filled up with all stuff but I am excited to see how this is going to um turn out you know that’s what Garden is all about trying new and different things so I know this video don’t got kind of long and stretched out but um if you’re new to the channel and you like what you see consider subscribing to the channel clicking that notification Bell

1st Hey Zo! I’m here watching.
I’m being nosy about what you’re growing back there. 👀 😂
I like the shelving.
Awesome set up!!! I was looking at that hydroponic system!! So, I'm going to follow your journey to see if it's a good investment. Thanks for sharing fam!!!
Alright, now! I have this same greenhouse. I haven't put mine together yet as it will be placed in my backyard. Cheap but effective 😊 great share!.
Recycled water is awesome! We can definitely hear the water running this is a wonderful way to grow indoors.
That’s exactly what gardening is about.🙏💙
DANG BRO, Its going to be EPIC cant wait, So exciting… 🌱Aloha Dean
Great video… just a suggestion on the greenhouse racks. I have the same greenhouse. I had to zip tie down the shelves because they would fall off. Also, what kind of grow lights will you be using on your new hydroponics setup? Tfs…T
That's not a small greenhouse! Zip tie the shelves on. My solution to everything. 🤣 Nice products.
❤❤❤
Hi Zo! Happy New Year!
That's a nice set-up.
Thanks for sharing 😊
❤❤❤
New sub here
i used bread ties to tie those racks down.. helped strudy it up some too!
Ty for showing me what to do with my 108 cell hydroponic system that I got for Christmas. I wasn’t sure about how to get it started, but you helped me tremendously. I have different varieties of lettuce, Asian/African greens, and flowers that I want to get started. I’ll keep up with your progress to keep me straight! 😂
Oh you about to be growing a lot
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey. Happy New year.
Wow, you got some nice goodies! The hydro grow station is cool…definitely cool that you explained how it works TFS 💪🏾🥬
Great use of those clothing racks! You're giving me ideas…
Love the video! I received the same greenhouse for Christmas; first time seeing an hydroponic system very interesting. Happy to have come across your channel.
Did you get the leaks to stop?
If not, try plumbers tape.
