Hydroponic Gardening and More with Brent

After my Maximum Microgreens Pea Grow, this has been the most rewarding grow up to now! I didn’t think Amaranth would take to hydroponics, but it did fantastic in hydroponic nutrient film technique (nft). I feel like the total weight is a good one too.

Hydroponic Gardening & More with Brent
If you're interested in growing microgreens like I do, I wrote a book on it. It's at this link at in my store: https://amzn.to/2ZZdkJb.
Have you tried micro Poppy Seeds (spice section) ? Tysm!💗
Hi! Can I buy Amaranth at store Bob Mills brand and micro green these? Ty!
How are you man! Great video!! I have a question about the Styrofoam(?) cover. Is that food grade and where could i get those???
I think I will use a good sharp knife when I harvest my amaranth. I am growing on insect screen for your windows, seems to work well
Wow! What amazing results!! I'd love to know what temperature you find best for amaranth? 10 days to harvest is insanely fast! Do you know what Ph range is best for amaranth? Thanks for sharing your incredible process!
Cheers from UK!
Why do you rinse so much?
Did you ever experimented with coco coir?
It here in india this sheet is not available.
hi.were can i buy te silicon mat from.
thx.
Mind blown! Can't believe your yields! I have been growing in soil for over a year. I am expanding my operation and will be adding trials for this method. Thank you for sharing all of this valuable information. Peace.
Hey Brent, would love to see a live grow packed for sale in a video. Please let us know if that will work for you. Thanks! Great video, by the way!
that vinyl mesh screen looks awesome! where did you get it from? thanks in advance
I love your vids! I eat the roots in some of the microgreens I grow (only grow for me at this time, crazy amount of trouble selling anything to eat where I live)
Great job Brent, Have you consider to harvest all roots included do to be a medialess system, it is possible to introduce it to a market that way. Thanks for your time
Where do I get a hold of this silicone screen youre using?
would you consider using a jute felt because of the small seed
Your NFT approach for this grow seems to work very well, but it requires a good bit more setup than the Kratky approach used in an earlier microgreen grow (with similar lower tray for water delivery by either approach). Did you notice any particular advantage in using the NFT versus the simpler Kratky? David from Mobile AL
FYI: 1 Kilogram is 1000 grams so if it shows .680 Kg (as it did in video), then you have 680 grams. Big fan here!! David from Mobile AL
Always a nice job! Have you covered paper towel underneath the screen for amaranth? I bought a bunch of stuff on your shop a couple weeks ago per your FAQ video. Hope to get great grows like this too.
Oh couple more questions….MSRP per oz. that you're selling for? Verses cost per oz. of seed? Aka profit margin?
Why not use a filet knife to "skin" the greens off the silicon mat? im seeing a LOT of material left on the "top" side of the silpad. Have you had any success in using or finding a way to use the roots? French fried, etc?
The winters farmers market here in Memphis is amazing Brent. I’m learning a lot about micro greens from one of the vendors there. Great deal of money to be made in that space. I may be calling you come spring time to pick your brain. I’ll be building a system to start producing them.

Good looking cropping Brent. Enjoyed all your videos this year and look forward to following along next year and learn some more gardening hydroponically.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
Cheers
Harold
Absolutely fantastic, great job!
hows this stuff taste bud
14×14 inch silicone sheets. So you used 2 cut to size for a 1020 tray correct?
so 3oz of seeds to 24oz of plant not including 20oz of roots. now that is ROI!!!!
Nice!
WOW! Those were stunning! Roughly what was the temperature these were growing in ?
I like the mesh/no soil method you are using.
Wow. I love the color. How does the taste compares to alfalfa sprouts (which is my favorite)?
Were do you get your microgeens from is it easy to grow them for the first time 👍
Impressive grow!
inspirational stuff 🙏
I don't think I've ever tasted Amoranth before, the colors are beautiful.
Great job Brent!
I love the YouTube end clip lol
Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍
Nice Brent, you are a great farmer.
That's a lot off microgeens you got there what do thay tase like and that was a good video clip there bread👍👍
Its amazing that you got results seeding the tray so heavy, i would expect damping out to occur. The usual rule of thumb for seeding amaranth is three trays per ounce.
Outstanding. What else can be said?
That's beautiful. I still failed growing amaranth, only 2 inches height and the leaves, very tiny. Probably the lighting?!😯
very nice!
where did you get the new screen?
you could try sprouting the seed in a half gallon mason jar first, then spread over screen when they double in size.
best
It's amazing what a dense mat of greens you end up with. I think you have those microgreens figured out!
Amazing haul mate… 👍
That shot at 11:51 is priceless.. I would wear it as a wig !!!
Folks worry about over watering amaranth and getting fungus. But Like you showed
–> great drainage, clean water and TLC –a great crop will prevail.Awesome work 😎👌🌱
