Great video, love all your videos. What about monitoring / refilling water?

@geekygreenhouse Жыл бұрын

Thanks! So Kratky plants are meant to be grown to maturity on a single fill of nutrient solution. So the larger the plant, the larger the container you should use. You _can_ refill the water, but not to the top. Only fill it about halfway at most to avoid suffocating the air roots.

I found some little black bags that fit over the mason jars. They have a fitting that allows you to peek and look at the roots and nutrients.

I've seen big bags of those clay pellets at Ikea, probably a good inexpensive option if people were looking for them.

I tried growing tomatoes like that in 5-l plastic water bottles. They eventually rotted. Now I see it was likely because of the water level being too high.

Good idea on the tinfoil to stop/prevent algae growth.

How does this system prevent root rot?

I'm very interested in doing this, as I recently moved into an apartment, but have large windows facing east. Do I have to use a grow light, and if so, which do you prefer?
