The Kratky system is a passive hydroponic technique for growing plants suspended above a reservoir of nutrient-rich water. It is a non-circulating technique, which means that no additional inputs of water or nutrients are needed after the original application, and no electricity, pumps, or water and oxygen circulation systems are required

HOW KRATKY SYSTEM WORKS:

A container with enough water and nutrients to last the plant's lifespan

The plants are suspended above the water level, and their roots grow down into the nutrient solution

As the plants consume the water and nutrients, the water level gradually decreases, exposing more of the root system to the air

This exposure to air helps provide oxygen to the roots, promoting healthy growth

It is a simple and low-maintenance method that is ideal for small-scale indoor gardening.

Holy!! I've had my radishes in soil for over two months and they are just starting to bulb up. I need to try this.

This does seem very simple. 😏Even a novice, like myself, can do this. Thanks for the encoragement.

Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge. It's very informative 🌿💚☘

I have used this method before and it was a success. The only difference is that I planted the seeds straight into net pots, using sponges as the media. The vegies then started to grow, and I let the vegies stayed there until they are harvested 🌱🪴🌿

Very cool system! I have a 4x8' tent, but right now, everything is in soil. Do you have any trouble with edema in your tent? My tomatoes are the main plants that are problematic. I do have an inline fan and two oscillating fans. Unless I leave the tent doors open, they still get edema.

I love your setup, seems to be working amazingly for you! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your grow tent?

Hii! Where did you get your Bins from? Are they food grade or does it even matter?

[patriciafletcher]

But how is the water drained and then added back in several times a day? I didn't think plants could stay in water all day
