I'm growing an atlantic giant pumpkin plant via this same method this year! i have a video up about my progress! thanks for stopping by and i hope you enjoyed the video!

the goal was kratky hydroponics, not dwc, rdwc or dutch buckets. my house has no power outlets for outdoor use, so i built my goals around using no outdoor power for hydroponics, which worked great

@@albuquerquegardening3004 Kratky, used a float valve container attached to a solution reservoir barrel to keep his grow tank at a set level, so he didn't have to manually refill his tanks daily, it was gravity fed.

this plant for sure drank more than that each day. I think that has to do with soil slowing down the nutrient/water update. water and food are just more easily available to the plants in hydro, so it grows faster. thanks for checking out my content!

Yes, I have used compost tea in hydroponics and had great results. It adds micronutrients that may not be in your hydroponic nutrients.

20 inches of growth can happen fast. i suggest using a food scale to measure Master blend 3 part fertilizer, half strength to not burn/overfeed the plant. keeping the plant below 20 inches tall is tricky though. best of luck to you!

If this is about tomatoes, there are interesting varieties available. I have a couple plants that won't grow taller than 2 feet before flowering and growing suckers out. But it's highly dependent on the market. People here usually grow in very limited spaces like balconies, so small varieties (with equally small fruit of course) are a huge chunk of the sales.

It was delicious
