This video shows how to grow lettuce in glass mason jars hydroponically, meaning in water instead of in soil. I use the Kratky method, which does not need an air pump. A simple glass jar is good enough to grow the lettuce as you will see. The seeds sprout very quickly, and in just 5 weeks I have a beautiful harvest! After another 2 weeks the leaves grow back and I am able to harvest a second time! Very delicious both times!

Hi, thanks for the nice informative video. One question I have to ask is, after the first harvest the nutrient liquid was about half finished right? So at that point do you refill it to the original level or can we just keep the jars with that left amount of liquid and continue for the 2nd harvest? and so on? Awaiting for your kind reply! Cheers!

Not once did I find myself saying: “Would you get to the point?” Because everything that was presented was to the point. Thank you for that. I also appreciated the information because I want to start growing using this method and after having watched your video I feel confident that I can do so successfully.

The larger jars have more oxygen at the root zone which is why I suppose they grew better. If these net posts were planted over a large reservoir with an aerator pumping oxygen to the roots instead of individual glass jars they would do even better.

I am as novice as a novice can be when it comes to gardening and have been watching dozens of similar videos. You pretty much covered everything I need to know in a very clear and concise manner, and left no stone uncovered or left any gaps in the process like many other videos do. The only minor thing not mentioned is whether you had to refill the liquid after your first growth cycle. Thanks for helping me decide to go with “grow big” as opposed to Masterblend. I wasn’t looking forward to measuring the 3 separate portions.

@TikkiOOO Жыл бұрын
Thanks Chainsaw cruz. If the container is big enough you don't have to refill. But if your container is small, or if you live in a very dry environment then you will need to refill. There is no rule, it depends on your growing environment and container size. If your water evaporated or it was in a small container, then toss out the remaining liquid and give the plant a fresh drink of hydroponic nutrients midway through the growing cycle. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

Great video Tikki! I just started Kratky Hydro for lettuce! I do 5 things different that will save you time and money: 1.) skip the hydronton pebbles 2.) poke 5 holes in your rock wool cube with 1-2 seeds in each 3.) no need to remove seedlings and transplant 4.) stick rock wool with seeds in netcup in solution directly under CFL bulb (hood lamp) - about 5-10 inches. 5.) leave on 24 hr light cycle you will have lettuce in about 2 weeks! : ) Good luck! and I hope this helps you save money and time! (I use romaine lettuce, so you can leave multiple plants in one rock wool versus buttercrunch where there is only room for one) nonetheless - you dont have to buy expensive LED or grow light bulbs....cfl only costs about $3-4 dollars. i use master blend as well! Hope this helps your harvest and your wallet!

Zin Min, thanks for the tips! I leave the seedlings in the rockwool, I don't transplant. But I have the lights on for 16 hours a day, not 24. I wonder if that makes a big difference in growing time? In nature the plants have daylight and then night time, so it makes sense to have the lights off for a period of time. I will experiment with your way and see what happens, thanks again!

Tom H.....Good Question, is the slower growth due to the smaller resevoir, or the distance from the lights, I see an experiment here....two groups of plants, one set of smaller jars vs. larger jars, but placed at the same distance from the light. If the plants in the smaller jars still grow slower even when they are the same distance from the light, maybe we would have an answer....If anyone wants to do this experiment and let us know the results, please do.

I thought about this part of the video as well; I suspect that the amount of “air space” for the plants is significantly greater in the wide mouth jars. That slightly larger diameter could be a big deal for the plants, and perhaps they feel they have more space to grow? Especially as the water level depletes, the overall volume of space that frees up for the roots grows more for a wider jar. But, who knows; I’m just a math nerd, not a hydroponics expert

He left it outside in the back yard during spring and had amazing lettuce in a month! Your result reminds me very much of the quality his plants produced. A very solid green color, tho I’m not sure exactly what type of lettuce he grew

Here is what you can teach your kids. Fruited plants are best with outdoors since they need the bees. It's best to grow things that is edible by leaves, since you are indoor.

The reasoning behind why your plants grow faster in the larger containers comes down to two things, first that there is more oxygen in a larger volume of hydroclay, second is more space for root development. Impressive video for beginners, I had previous hydroponic knowledge so I went directly to aquaponic DWC. That being said, I end up with a lot of extra net cups & germinated seedlings and they just so happen to be next to my cache of mason jars. Thanks!

​@@TikkiOOO One could feasibly use a glass drill bit the same diameter as aquarium airline and install a single small airstone in each jar. With a pump that has 4+ outlets, this could be worthwhile as your harvests will be much larger with fewer jars.
