I’ve had continued success with your downpipe kratky system and egg carton grow mats but I’ve just added an aquarium pump to my shopping list- got to try that! Thanks Mike for all the inspiration and motivation. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm limited by a vary drafty tiny, tiny home with the worst lighting, in the winter. Your idea of a homemade grow box on a chrome shelf is going to be a life saver for me. Cool weather veggies will do well in a thin vertical garden with grow lights!!! I will have lettuce in the winter! Thank you!

So now I'm a thief, just stole my daughters pool noodle and going at it.. 🤫🌱

Mike, I love your enthusiasm and how you show how simple it is to grow good stuff at home! Your videos are fabulous as well. Nobody knows how much time it takes to edit and make a really interesting, fun and informative video unless they’ve tried it themselves. You’ve done a great job on all fronts! Thanks!!

So my wife has been buying these living lettuce at Safeway. When we've eaten the leaves, she replants them. We've had really good success with this method. I vote harvest the whole top and regrow the plant from stock. We leave 2 or 3 leaves on the original plant. Keep it going Mike.

I think you're tips are so awesome! I would like to see you do a comparison between growing under a light, growing in the shade outside, or growing next to a sunny window.

best channel in youtube.

I've been following your channel for years and have learnt so much and this video is so enlightening with using very cheap equipment which we can all afford. God bless you.☺️

I LOVE the way you do your videos - and the music too. Thanks. Ready to move away from the soaking paper towel drying out by mistake. This method is next phase!

My shipment just came in of your down spout gardens and I am excited to get growing! I believe your method is an answer to my prayers and struggles of indoor gardening! Thank you so much. GROW ON!

Starting a hydroponic lettuce garden here. Of all the hydro videos on youtube I keep coming back to yours. Love you channel.

I like the lid contraption (I’m spamming comments because I love how straight forward this guide is thank you so much)

Hi Mike from Winter Haven Florida, thank you for sharing such great ideas with us.

Culmination of all your creative growing tips.

Just that simple!! Mr. Mike always shows ya how to Git-R-Done!! Agree air is better but not needed for Kratky Lettuce. Stay safe down there my friend and have a great weekend!

You're such a good guy. Thanks for all the information.

Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

Very good video. I like that it is short and to the point.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Blessings!

Best tips on this method,could not believe it worked , thanks a lot. Love my veggies pak Choi And lettuce in abundance.

Thank you gif sharing. I want it to be simple and inexpensive. I’m giving it a try

Great ideas already learnt a lot... now motivated to try it..Will be watching all your videos . Growing own food is very important skills.. Just in case and great satisfaction it brings. Thank you for sharing...

Just discovered this awesome channel and just subscribed. You are great inspiration! Thank you so much.

Hey Mike I don’t know how I missed this video! What I’d like to see is lettuce growing indoors comparing one with an air pump and one without. These are the things I’m interested in knowing: -did it grow faster, more lettuce -did the one without the air pump have any nasty smells coming from the water? -I would also like to see as the lettuce becomes ripe around the outside you harvesting it and how often you are able to harvest it from the outside of the plant before you it start to bolt. Basically how many harvest cycles you get and if there is any difference between the two methods. It’s been my experience using an NFT system for my lettuce that I’m able to harvest every 7-10 days around the outside of the plants and then I can do this 5 times before it starts to show signs that it’s ready to bolt. I would also love to learn how to let the lettuce bolt and then harvest lettuce seeds. I don’t know if you’ve ever done that before? I don’t recall, but I think it would be an excellent way to ensure food security and to continue with the process. At present one of the easiest plant nutrients to get and use is the aerogarden because it just requires the addition of water. One other thing to address is water sure you can go into PH Levels etc but I think to keep it simple just address letting them water sit for minimum of 24-48hrs at room temperature and does it actually have an effect on any possible chlorine or fluoride in the water. Thanks! I keep referring people to your channel if they are struggling with growing leafy greens outdoors I tell them they can do it indoors and have none of the pest pressures or weather issues that they have outside and you can just grow consistently the same gorgeous leafy greens week after week. Which is exactly what I’ve been able to do after finding your channel. By referring others it’s my way of continuing to “bee the change” and thanking you for teaching me how to grow my own lettuce thank you!!🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦

Thanks again for another informative video.

Eat it! Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Great video. Really learned something.

Thanks I am going to try this

Austin, TX here. I appreciate your Fam's video's.

Thanks Mike!!

My new favorite channel!!!

Great vids buddy👍🏻ultra-informative!

My first time watching .tgis is Awsome thank you showing this

amazing vids. ty

Great video Mike 👍🏼❤️

Great stuff for healthy food.

Fixing to step one of these up for my son

I just discovered you my impression one honest to God nice bloke helping so many people and looking for nothing in return your a one off Mike and thank you i will get set up it will take time as i am in Ireland .

Hey, you should try making a video comparison with aeration and no aeration. Another thing that would be nice is to have an idea how often do we have to refill these containers? A guideline for a plant would need these many gallon bucket, etc. That one will be the most helpful for me.

Thanks Mike. I have a pet bunny. He eats a head of lettuce every day. I am going to start growing it. I thank you for the tips and Mr Huggle thanks you for dinner.

I really enjoy your right to the point explanation. Unlike others who just want to be heard with long winded blahblahblahs lol. I'm knew to any growing but seems easy enough. I found your video trying to learn how to regrow romaine. Hopefully someone sees this. First what is that lettuce called? Second can romaine be grown like that? Please and thank you.

Love your videos. My wife and I are converting our guest room into an indoor growing room here in Alaska. We’re already growing some lettuce and spinach using your downspout design and grow lights. We’ve also been inspired by your hydroponic tomatoes to attempt them but we’re curious as to whether you have ever attempted growing strawberries? I’ve been going through your -lay lists and haven’t found any videos on berry growing.

Thanks for info Cheers from Downunder

Enjoying this

Great video.

I'm from México, tanks Mike.

Nice Hydroponic Setup! Continuing to follow your Channel.👩🏾‍🌾👨🏾‍🌾🏡🌱🌱🍆🍆

nice.i'd like to see exact setup under lights kratky style for comparison. thanks.

Do you have a video showing how you cut the round holes in the lid? Thanks.

How long will it continue to grow? Try that! I'm just starting out and excited to try something different. I've knitted, crocheted, sewed, quilted, canned, grown gardens, and now let's go for this! I'm 76, but never too old to learn, right? All excess will go to the food pantries in town, since my family lives too far away.

Ik how this algorithm shi works I had my fun 😂 this is a great video man cheers!

Awesome! 👍

Brilliant!!!

I ❤️ Your Video (s) And, hydroponics here I come:

I sooooo wanna do this.

AWESOME RESPECT

Your the man..

Wow! Instant subscribe!

Dude, you have great taste in music. :)

AWESOME MATE

Hey, Mike. I'm near you (High Springs) and have been growing indoor lettuce precisely this way for several years. It would be helpful if you would talk about the lettuce varieties you have the most success with. For me it's been Tom Thumb and other Bibb varieties but your's looks pretty awesome. Cos and Black Seeded Simpson also work fairly well for me. I can't quiet make out what you planted from the brief clip of the seed packet. Apologies if you've addressed this subject in a separate video.

You’re a wordy sorta fella. I like it.

😀 you are great

Thanks Mike. This is awesome. I am actually going to be giving it a go at gardening for the first time. I was wondering can this be done and maintained in doors, say a basement during the winter months?

Great video i want to try it how much light dose it take

Thank you for these amazing videos! Question for you: can we reuse ♻️ bottoms of celery and lettuce to regrow them using this method?

Mike, I've just recently discovered your channel and I first off want to thank you for all that you do to help us grow food as cheaply as possible. I'm just getting in to hydrophonics and growing indoors. I'd like to do the method you show in this video, but I have a couple questions. 1) I'd like to get the pump you show in this video, but I'm confused on how to put it together and use it in the system. Do you have a video on how this is done? 2) What nutrients do you use and how often fed? 3) I see you offer a learning class. Is all this taught in that class? thank you

Creating value right here! I was wonder how to do this I’ve been weeks trying to get lettuce to grow in cotton balls but I think the bleach stunts growth

Cant thank you enough for sharing all your wisdom and knowledge. Hoping to start in the next couple of days. Are you getting bugs or gnats indoors in FL? So worried about that😅 Thank you!!!

Hi Mike, I have been watching your channel for many months now. Can you please provide a link for the growing containers you used in this video? I also wanted to know if you have ever had any success in growing tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers this way? Thanks for all the great videos.

I just discovered your channel! I haven't had a chance to look through all of your videos, but I did notice that you didn't talk about your light source. I noticed at one point in the video it appeared you had the plants under lights.

hahaha "hey who wants a salad?"

Just came across you and just getting started into hydroponics. Always been a traditional grower but moved from So.Cal to Utah so now I need to deal with weather under 50°. Can I use this system indoors without lights during winter?

Great choice nutrients DaYum

I just subscribed and love this style video! What kind of water do you use, tap water or distilled?

So glad I just stumbled upon your channel. I started growing indoors with soil. What a disaster with the knats! Then looking at all the indoor hydroponic systems was overwhelming. All very expensive and ugly. I have a VERY limited space in my tiny apartment. And plan on getting a tiny home in the future. So the smaller, least expensive and prettier the better. I would also like to use a solar aeration and grow light system instead of electric. I know it's possible...just haven't looked into it. One more thing...nutrients. Homemade possibly? Azomite? Idk. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Mike , what are the top 10 plants you would say are easy to grow . ? Love your videos

Thanks for sharing....What advice do you give on producing crisp lettuce? My harvest is little wilted.

amazing

Nice for a small apartment space

I'd like to know how much difference the aeration makes....

Id like to see the same nutrients and container without areation.

Mike is it okay to spray black paint on outside of containers to keep sunlight out

Mike, maybe it's time to leave another link to whare you bought your Grow Lites, or a link to your video on using them?

I dont know how many times I've watched this dang video. Lol Music is bumpin. The 3rd day my microgreens have what looks like mold. I can't figure it out. Am using well water. Today I'm going to use water from my FISH TANK and another tray with DISTILLED WATER and see where that takes me. LOVE YOYR CHANNEL!

Sprinkling seeds in style haha

Wo wo wooo. @6:10 QUESTION- WHAT IS THAT THING IN THE WATER IN BOTTOM OF YOUR CONTAINER?

Just found your channel as I'm attempting both raised beds outdoors and wanting to try some hydroponics at low cost. Is there another material to use for holding the germinated seeds upright? I have chickens so I have no egg cartons lol

Mike, love your videos, thank you! You said that it does better with aeration, but outside doesn't seem necessary. I'm needing to try inside (we live in 120+ degree desert), but I don't want to put aeration on it bc of the extra electric cost. When you say 'better', will it still work without aeration and what is the drawback? Thanks again so much and thanks for keepin us growin!

Can i use a low wattage grow light with kratsky methed?

Your purple bok choy is out of stock. Beside neoprene collar & pool noodle are there other stuff that can be use from recycle in the home? Abt aquarium pump will a small basic pump + tube + airbubble outlet + suction good to go?

I saw a downspout version in the beginning of the video. How are you closing it off to retain water?

😂 seed bae. Love your content dude

What is the ratio for lettuce with Master blend. Thx

What kind of lettuce did you grow?? Looks great👍🏻👍🏻

want a tip add one tablespoon Ormus per gallon of water it can boost growth by 1/3 and add all 92 essential minerals!

Thank for the video. Please, what is your light source ?

Can I grow 50 lettuce plants using the Kratky method in one pool planting 10 a week for 5 weeks? Can I add solution if the last ones planted are not reaching the water? Will adding solution impact air roots on earlier plants? Thanks for any help.

Yo dude!! I love your videos. Are you in Florida??

Hi Mike, could you please describe how long to keep seed covered, all 10-14 days or only the first couple days? And then where to keep those seeds, in the dark please or near a window?
