After dabbling in hydropnics, I heard about the Kratky method. I asked myself - what is the kratkey method? It's just a different way of growing plants in hydroponics. The difference is that this method doesn't require a bubbler to supply oxygen into the water of which the plant needs. This was just a trial run for now to get used to this easy hydoponics option. i chose to grow lettuce in kratkey because i know that i can grow that in the winter using this hydroponic method. Growing lettuce in hydroponic is alot easier than you think.

I bought a 25 lb package of the Masterblend mix, scales to measure by weight, and a kilo of MaxiGro. I bought a big package of those clay balls to experiment with because they`re reusable.

Nice! I've learned since that video that foam pool noodle works great for holding the plant too! Sounds like you're gonna have fun growing!

@@TheAdhdGardener I bought a pool noodle to experiment with. I`m at my sister`s house waiting to move into a 30 ft camper this Summer on a rural lot where I can have gardens and can`t do anything here. My nephew let his kid destroy one of my hydroponic gardens (that`s my fault for owning a garden as far as he`s concerned) and keeps opening my packages (he`s a prison guard) so I can`t wait to get out of here. I don`t want to make headlines.

Thanks for video. So once you put them in the jug you didn't add any more water until harvest?

@TheAdhdGardener 2 жыл бұрын

Nope didn't need to add any more water🤷‍♀️ depending on what ya plant is how much they'll suck up water. Lettuce not so much but u can tell if you're running low by picking up the container u can always just add more. Some of my lettuce containers had leftover water whereas now for example I have Broccoli n tomatoes in kratky and boy do those suck up water.

Why does your Kratky lettuce look all wrinkley? I think your nutrient mix might have too much nitrogen maybe?

@TheAdhdGardener Жыл бұрын

Depends on the variety of lettuce. Some are more smoother n some are like that

FYI.. your 12/12/6 grams per 5 gallon masterblend formula is for TOMATOS -... Leafy greens.. uses a 10/10/5 gram per 5 gallon formula. You know that right?

no need to be weird and condescending, i have seen lots of people use the same mix for a variety of plants.
