  1. Hi Luke, thanks for this simplified method.. I’ve been trying for 3 years now with no success so far with cucumbers, kale, cilantro and Swiss chard.
    Ive spend probably thousands with purchasing several T5 grow lights, containers, grow tents, bubbles, timers, and every conceivable nutrients that people shows on YouTube, and I’m so disappointed at this time…Please let me know what I’m doing wrong, I even used distilled or osmosis water at times…

  2. Very helpful. Two questions: is a half-gallon Mason jar large enough for a head of lettuce or herbs like basil? And how can I do this same thing organically, instead? I'm new to all of this and haven't had luck finding organic nutrients so far. Thanks!

  3. I am so glad you are explaining the Kratky Method of hydroponics. I bought a 4 cell machine first and then learned about Kratky. With Kratky, we have to learn our chemistry–the easy way. (And to learn Liter to ounce conversion along the way.)

  4. Hello and thank you for this video, that show how to do from start so that’s really helpful and beneficial. Could you please write the name of the method you are speaking about to start seedling?

  5. dr Krakty shows a great way to grow those harder to grow things with the same method using an inexpensive easy to build nutrient solution regulator so that it never goes above an inch or two leaving enough room for the oxygen.

  6. Just a tip for anyone, when I first start kratky I had to much water and it would saturate my whole rockwool cube causing issues of course. Make sure that water is just at the bottom of that net cup

  7. I would like to know if I can use the Bokashi composting's juice & pour into the water? Do I still need to put the 2 liquid fertilisers for their nutrients? I'm just a beginner for both Kratky hydroponic & Bokashi Composting. So, I want to know if it's ok to do these things. Thank you!

  8. Where do you get those tubs with the holes in the top of the container or do you have to cut the holes or what and those little cup things that you put in the holes what are they and where do you get them please somebody please

  9. This video on this method really give a solid foundation to getting started. I saw some measuring wands and terms like EC which I didnt understand and I felt like one rabbit kept leading into another but you clearly understand the target audience may actually be novice gardeners all the way around. I thought I was going to need a water ratio calculator etc and was feeling demotivated. Now I am back to inspired to get this basil going.
