Follow along as I grow Spinach Hydroponically using the Kratky Method. Spinach is so nutritious and delicious to add to salads, soups, and smoothies. The Kratky method is easy since you don’t need an air pump, and if you have a sunny window you are good to go. If not, use a light that is on the blue spectrum, 5000 to 6500 Kelvin works best. Have fun, and thank you for watching!

I was wondering if y can help me ,i planting spinach in rockwool and roit plugs and still nothing grew ,I got the seeds from Amazon this is a nightmare
Very nice video, Tiki. You explained things well; it was an excellent demonstration and I am going to try it. I already grow lettuce and some herbs. Hydroponically, so it will be interesting to see how my spinach experiment turns out.
Tikki, I love your videos! I'm just getting started with hydroponics. Can you please tell me about the area you have them in. It looks shiny or reflective. What is the material? Also, on your video about growing lettuce you have your jars in white containers that look like they hold the jars perfectly. Can you tell me where to find something like that? Thanks so much!

I learned growing hydroponic lettuce from your video. It's doing very good and I'm really encouraged to continue with. Thanks a lot
How far down do you make the hole in rockwool?
Great video's, only question or comment would be how you harvest the plants… thanks for taking the time to do these.
I cannot tell you how impressed I am with your video! I have been trying so many ways to do this and definitely you did it great! Thank you!
Does indoor vege save to eat ?
Is there a trick to germinating the spinach. Seems spinach has a low germination rate especially in hydroponics.
awesome!!
She has given the most precise and well explained instructions I've seen yet!!!
Very cool. When you clip and eat them, do they grow back or die?
aluminum? really?
I love your videos. I have a teeny spinach growing now. I can see after watching your video that I will have to wait a while before harvest day!
Thanks for this video. You answered the question I had about growing spinach hypoponicly.
I planted some spinach seeds 30 days ago that the packages says they are ready to harvest in 30 to 45 days. They are about 2 inches tall with 2 leaves and don't seem to be growing. I am using a 3' x 3' MarsHydro grow tent and a 100 watt HLG LED light. I can't figure our they won't grow. Also planted a lettuce seed two weeks ago and it is just behind the spinach in size. I am going to try the Kratky method and get rid of the soil which I bought from a nursery. I saw your video comparing hyrophonics to soil and the soil plant was so far behind.
thank you finally an intelligent video!
When you buy liquid nutrients your paying for water, very exspensive water.
Lots of clear practical advice. Thanks!
Hey Tikki, you have great videos! After i´ve seen you videoes i bought 25 jars that i am gonna spray-paint black with 1,8 liters in each. Maybe bit to much, but i want to be able to fail some of them 😉 – I would like to request a video, that describe the best 5 lettuce for beginners with the Kratky Method. (Like grow fast, can harvest many times, great succes rate for anyone :D) Wish you good luck on you channel and on your plant- growth and your harvest. 🙂 – Martin
Excellent work
Im excited to try this
That's pretty good. In Canada we pay about $5/lb of spinach. After seeing this video, I think it would end up costing me much more than $5 Cdn to grow a pound of spinach hydroponically. But it would be organic, I have to admit. How much would you say it has cost you to grow 1 lb of hydroponic spinach Tikki?
Thank you, Tikki! I appreciate your informative, well-organized videos 🙂
Awesome
Do you have a video on your set up of the shelf you're using? What is the silver lining you're using around your shelf?
