The lights turn on around 6pm eastern time. I think it is currently set for about 12 hours of on time (6pm to 6am) . So if you don’t see anything come back later.

Oh, and for a special treat if you watch between 6 and 8pm there is a small chance you could catch me filling the water levels and pulling off dead leaves.

Hydroponic Cucumber/pumpkin

Hydroponic watermelon

The hydroponic cucumber, hydroponic pumpkin and hydroponic watermelon are both using drip. The timer is set for 15 minutes on every 6 hours. My thinking is that they just need enough water to stay damp.

I put aquarium pump in the bucket with the watermelon and I’ll see how that works to pump the extra water back to the reservoir.

I am going to try to add archives and some other features to this page so keep nudging me if you think I’m moving too slow.

Could we get a wider shot of the garden? Right now, it looks like a bunch of buckets of hydroton and just a bit of your tomatoes.

I’ll see what I can do. My major problem is that reflections from the light tend to blind the camera. Most of my garden is a bunch of buckets of hydroton.

Keep an eye on the bucket in the lower left corner. There are 3 zucchini plants just starting there. They should start get get bigger over the next week.

Tell us about the different setups on the webcam! I see DWC, and perhaps hand watered hydroton?
