Hydroponic Gardening and More with Brent
It’s a simple concept really. Keep the plants stressed by cutting roots and foliage once in a while. All you need is a pot, a window-sill, and some light water-soluble fertilizer. Pot, prune, and re-pot. It’s important to use a humidity dome over your plants if they haven’t rooted. You can use a ziplock bag draped over a pot for that if you don’t have a dome. Rooting hormone improves rooting. This how-to is how to do what I do. :O)

Hydroponic Gardening & More with Brent
Do you need to wash or spray the plants to prevent any pests?
Good idea and I never try it 👋👍
Brent just came upon this awesome video. Do you need any special equipment? I’d love to try this. My garage isn’t climate controlled and I really do not have a window that gets really great sunlight. Suggestions for a new overwinterer? Thanks!
You are a pro! Thank you!
I will try this method this coming winter…
Awesome, glad I found your channel in time wasn’t sure if it was possible to over winter my eggplant , will try out, thanks!
Hi this is inspiring! Just wondering when you mentioned "chippings", did you mean cuttings?
I assue have to dip the cuttings or suckers in the rooting hormomes and then pot them up? Thanks very much!
Very cool idea sir! I was just wondering if you kept them inside your house or a greenhouse? I just found your channel but after seeing this I subscribe right away. Thank you for sharing it.
I love this regular trimming approach! I will do that this winter. I'm just afraid my LED grow lights will accelerate growth each time, but I guess they are needed to keep them healthy.
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your experiments. Respect Could you please experiment with DANDELION microgreens. The most underrated "weed" imo. I can't find anywhere anything about DANDELION microgreens. I started experimenting myself with it, because i love to eat it, but im still a rookie in microgreens, hehe, so it would be great to see what you can accomplish. Thank you for all the good work.
Great techniques ! They turned out looking great . 😊
wow…I know you can do what you do but I never try it…Thank for that reminder!
Good experiment Brent a good start for the new year.
Cheers
Harold
Well done buddy! Lot of work but it works! Take care ‘
Chuck
Good one Brent! I will be trying this!
Awesome video !!! I got a couple of Ghost pepper clone's going myself .
Do you keep trimming roots in your NFT? I know tomato roots go wild.
Cool. I never tried to over winter eggplants.
Pretty cool Brent, it's not easy keeping these all alive through the winter, especially in cooler regions. This will really help a lot of people.
So wish we could get the cheap Peat moss here,, I use it for cutting too when I can afford it.
Enjoyed the video.
Thanks mate

is there a trick to get eggplants started, ive had no luck been over a month trying gonna try wet paper towel in bag next
Great way to keep those special projects going.
Wow Brent, I'm excited to see that you can do cuttings of eggplants, I had no idea, have you grown the Louisiana green oval eggplant yet?
This is a really handy way to overwinter. Have you ever don this with peppers?
Very good video. I like trying different things with plants like that . Thanks for the video.
