Hydroponics For Beginners & Advanced Gardeners! (Backed By Science!) (Garden Talk #79)



In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Daniel Fernandez. He has been gardening for 20 years and runs the Science in Hydroponics YouTube channel. In this episode he talks all about hydroponics. There’s definitely some good information for beginners, such as the basics. But there’s also a lot of advanced information talked about in this episode for those of you that already have experience in hydroponics but are looking to take your knowledge to the next level. What type of plants do you like to grow? Lettuce, tomatoes, house plants, melons, fruit trees, peppers, kale, let us know in the comments section below.

    I do the same thing as your buddy with the 5 gal bucket, net pot, and air stone. Plants grow super fast and very easy to maintain

  5. Dustin

    Awesome episode, I've been subbed to Science in Hydroponics because I'm interested in hydroponics but I haven't tried yet.

  8. Paulie

    I grow in soil, but recently built an aeroponic cloner so this came at just the right time!Thank you guys👍🌱✌️

  10. My Hobby Grow

    Great information. Thank you for sharing. As a Hydroponic grower I can say I got some good information from this episode. Thanks for covering the beneficial bacteria question and water temp!!

  11. Mary

    what a great episode. He explained things as simple as possible… Thank you.

  12. Bill Ward

    Thx for your contribution to the community, Chris. I'm growing DWC for the first time myself, so this is great, timely advise. I appreciate the scientific information. I will be studying Daniel's videos extensively.

  16. Robert Toms, III

    Was just learning about Odysee and thought of your channel and those like it. Suppose to be a decentralized YouTube alternative. Got a few good chennels over that way.

  17. General Awareness

    I have a question because I transplanted some plants from seedling mix to Perlite, and they are doing wonderfully well even in the heat. I lost everything in the DWC because water temps are at ambient which is around 84f-104f (this can't be helped). This had me thinking about a drip hydroponics. How would that work in the heat since the roots don't actually touch, or sit in, the water they are in an inert grow medium gaining nutrients via the drip?

    hey my friend I'm a huge fan,love the videos ,great knowledge and wisdom
    which im here asking for your help,

    I have a growing tent

    5 x 5(60"x60"x80")with a 6 Inch 440 CFM with a 6 Inch Carbon Filter and it's sucking too much air out of my growing tent,
    what can I do to fix this issue ?

    or what would be a good Carbon Filter for my growing tent ?
    NEED HELP

  19. SweetTooth

    Can you do a show about DE?? I'm concerned about using it before flipping, in regards to buds being affected in some way. Am I being crazy? Is it safe for flowering??

    Basicly hydro is for control freaks… and requires alot of attention to water ph NPK levels, enviroment, lighting, temps humidity and a lot of flushing.

    Deep water culture is the cheapest to configure… but you must have an easy way to remove water that builds up with salt and easily replace fresh water with fresh food.
    My first attemps not counting dry trim I yielded 1.5 pounds of dry flower ranging from baggable buds to small lower buds and trim to make hash with. Using a 2x4x6' tall tent…300w mars bar light.

    Min = PH tool, parts per million meter, a bucket with drain plug + large air stone.. air pump and a catch tray.. a 6 gal+ wet vac to suck up drain water from catch tray… an airated reservoir for nutriants… to refill buckets a good light with dimmer. = bare bones setup
    💪😎✌
    Calmag with quality food is a big deal so is a flush agent… like bushdoctor

  23. FOR THE TERPS 710

    Been waiting for this video awhile now I appreciate you taking us hydro growers into consideration. I've grown flower just as good as the homie running soil with DWC . If done right it can be knocked outta the park

  25. Brian Miller

    Gypsum was talked about as a calcium supplement, can calcium carbonate (fine powder I use in wine making) be used the same way as gypsum? Used as a pH buffer and calcium intake for the plants.

  27. Rob SkiMask

    Tbh.. growing dwc is controversial. Everyone has different ways and methods.. genetics plays a great part too. Bennies most definitely plays a crucial part in growing.. hypochlorus acid works also but I’ve only successfully used it once. I’ve gotten root rot with a chiller and hypochlorus acid. Once I started using great white and king crab root rot has been a thing of the past..

  30. Chiba Mann

    AWESOME SHOW MR. GROWIT…I'LL BE REWATCHING THIS EPISODE UNTIL I CAN GRASP ALL OF THE CHEMISTRY INFO PROVIDED 👍🏾💚👊🏾🙏🏿

  31. Mark Aber

    Water temp 72 for indica. 74 ,75 for Sativa is what I think. However any of those temps will work just watch for jelly .

  32. PÒKE ORIGIN

    im 8 weeks into the kratkey method and im shocked with the results i wish i could share a video of the plants i have growing i poured water in a bucket i was trimming a plant so i cut a bunch of cuttings that i was going tpo give away but never got around to doing anything with them i pretty much forgot about them they are now budding lmao i shit you not colas like pop cans i have no clue how

  35. Topsrite

    Excellent information. The explanation of the meaning of hydroponics was what grabbed my attention out the gate. I learned a long time ago hydroponics was simply any format to grow without soil. I see now the interpretation of soilless vs what some call true hydroponics, but his opinion is as mine anything without soil. The additional in depth information was fabulous. Great one Chris thanks

    I looked at my probably 10 year old fan that I use in my seedling room and … it’s an AC INFINITY! That thing is a champ, and it’s just a chimney/ventilation fan.
