G’Day Folks. Have been chuffed with how the herbs have been going in the Kratky totes but are having a few issues with buckets. Will have the new buckets, & hopefully a few more totes growing before the next update.

    I am having trouble deciding when to shift the seedlings from germination to the growing part. any tips? I mess up every time. i'm using neem oil to ward off the pests. any other suggestions to keep the growing chemical-free?

  • Brian Lynch

    Hey Rob Bob; I believe the wrinkly twisty leaves you saw could actually be from what you were cautioning about the water level–the leaves looked overwatered to me especially in regards to what you were saying about having not seen aphids or other pests that would have caused damage.

  • Sandra Clark

    Hi Rob, I was wondering where you purchased your "Bloom" from? Was it a big box store, on line or at a speciality hydroponics store. I live in Wynnum, Brisbane. so hoping to find something close. Also does that Bloom have NPK rating?

    Those grew nice and healthy seems like they like those nutrients. My Beit Alpha cucumbers have been going for a few weeks, this is my first time growing them. Great update. Thanks!

  • Good

    Has rob got new chucks? I found him years ago for the chicken posts. I stopped following because I’m in a northern climate. I’m just wondering if he’s gunna get or got chickens. How’s the worm farm? Good feelings and smiles!

    Why does every moron and their dog call this the kratkey? Kratkey didn't figure it out or invent it or anything. I remember in the 70s my mom did this same thing, years before kratkey did it.

    I've seen 100 year old books outline the exact same method.

    I also invented a new method. It's called the Harley method. It's where you put a plant in dirt and water it.

    SMFH people need to open their eyes. Learn how to learn. Everyone's just so busy believing everything they are told.

  • Jesse Parker

    It would be interesting to do an experiment comparing the effect of an air stone with no air stone. I suspect gas exchange in the root zone is limiting growth. I've got a kratky method jar going right now. Simple and easy – i love it!

  • mitch ratcliffe

    Great update Rob, it's looking good mate. I've dabbled in what I call "static solution hydroponics", what you call "kratky".
    I don't mind it, something to keep in mind for yourself, in my experience, I frequently keep the ability to flick it over to a deep water culture because there are many reasons to do so for a short time.
    For instance if I the water to air ratio in the root system gets finicky (which it can sometimes do, I'm sure you will find, especially in the middle of summer with high transpiration), or when I add in a new plant with a smaller root system and need to fill the water up quite high.
    Using a timer on the power point of the air pump i distance the pump times further apart as the water level drops back down the the desired level before taking the air pump away all together.
    I am a long time viewer, I'll help out with podia when I can.
    Cheers from Mitch from the ACT.
