and my wife was not paying attention to it ,the draining line came out living the plants with out water witch is deadly to hydroponics (can kill them with in 15min) causing all the cucumbers to die and broke my water pump on top of that, all though i was able to fix the pump (not Chinese by the way found part for it) but the season was over and electricity is going up so could spend 50-100 dollars on lighting for growing food ( if your interested look up hydroponic cucumbers on youtube).
used to grow hydroponics inside under a 600w for medical purposes with excellent results but never veggies and i think is time to put my experience to work and see the comparison for my self all though i cant use the setup i used ill be using one of the buckets ive made and plant one cucumber and one tomato to utilize the space of the bucket, last time i used it planted cucumbers and they were doing fine up tel the time i had to live town for few weeks (do to work)
this summer i think ill be documenting an organic garden vs some hydroponic growing all under sun hopefully i can get that done with some good results and pointers to some that are new to gardening and hydroponics . thumps up simply

No, rabbits can be weaned far earlier than 7 weeks, but I never recommend doing it before 6 weeks and I usually try and leave mine until at least 8 weeks. Some people wean as early as 4 weeks but I think that is far too young. You should be fine at seven weeks. Thanks for the great compliment!
Hi simplyhumanblog, I have a question is it too young to wean my mini lop babys at 7 weeks? Im sorry this is out of the blue but i love your videos and im a BIG fan! Thanks Bye!

My goal is to plant crops this coming growing season. I eventually want to buy some land and a house up here in the eastern UP and homestead myself.
