Flood Hit My Greenhouse – Here's the Damage

Last night we almost lost the entire greenhouse. After a massive flood ...

Last night we almost lost the entire greenhouse.

After a massive flood hit the farm, muddy river water flooded into the greenhouse, contaminated the hydroponic nutrient tank, and shut down the ...entire hydroponic system. With the pump underwater and the system offline, I had no choice but to hand water every NFT channel just to keep the plants alive.

In this video, I take you through the full greenhouse flood cleanup — removing mud, draining over 1,000 gallons of contaminated water, cleaning and sanitizing the nutrient tank, and trying to repair the hydroponic pump before it’s too late.

If you’ve ever dealt with greenhouse problems, hydroponic system failure, or farm flooding, you know how fast things can go wrong.

🌱 What you’ll see in this video:
• Greenhouse flood damage and emergency response
• Hydroponic system shutdown and recovery
• Nutrient tank contamination and cleaning
• Pump inspection, repair, and troubleshooting
• Hand watering NFT hydroponic channels to save plants
• Real farm life — the challenges no one talks about

This is real hydroponic farming — not the perfect version, but what it actually takes to keep things alive when everything goes wrong.

Greenhouse update! Today I show what’s growing right now—hydroponic greens, microgreens, tomatoes, peppers, English cucumbers—plus a Johnny’s Seeds delivery and I plant ginger & turmeric back into my deep barrel ...setup.

It finally feels like the greenhouse is waking up all at once. I’m doing a full walk-through of what’s thriving, what’s struggling, what I’m starting next for summer market season, and how I plant ginger and turmeric in my deep barrel hydroponic setup (buds up, cover lightly, keep evenly moist).

• Late-winter hydroponic greens (beet greens, pak choy, tokyo bekana, Italian dandelion/chicory)
• Microgreens + pea shoots tips (airflow, light, watering with emitters)
• Tomatoes, bell peppers, and English cucumbers training updates
• Wormwood harvest timing + why I grow “weird plants”
• Johnny’s Seeds unboxing + seed storage + flower seeding
• Deep barrel medium reuse + drain-to-waste approach
• Planting ginger/turmeric pieces AND the little bulbs (experiment!)

Greenhouse night shift! 🌙 I hand-pollinate 80 tomato plants with an electric toothbrush, dial in grow lights + temps, troubleshoot unhappy cucumbers, then harvest fresh ginger and turmeric from my ...deep-barrel hydroponics—and replant with wormwood.

In this video:
• Why I toothbrush-pollinate tomatoes (no hive for ~80 plants)
• My grow light schedule (evening boost) + small temp tweak that helped growth
• Quick nutrient adjustment that greened plants up fast
• Why my cucumbers hated the middle row—and LOVE the wall row
• Deep-barrel hydroponics harvest: ginger + turmeric (smells AMAZING)
• Replanting the barrel with wormwood (long-term crop)
• Flower season prep: geranium seed “paper towel + fridge” method—does it work?
