Glad to be an inspiration! We love having edible plants in our kitchen-easy to pick and eat 😋😊

Thank you so much! We're glad you found the setup inspiring. The Kratky method is a great place to start-one step at a time is the best way to learn and grow. Love to see your version with the cupboard around it when you get there! Keep going, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions along the way. Happy growing🌱🥬

​@@innehagen4248 many thanks. Will take a while 😂 how do you make sure to have appropriate nutrients in the system? Do you frequently check for it and add more water or nutrients if the level is too high/low? Do all the plants need the same. This is a little confusing for me and hard too find informations about

We usually start with a balanced hydroponic nutrient solution and monitor the water's pH and nutrient levels regularly. We adjust by adding more water or nutrients. If the pH is too high or too low, we use pH minus or pH plus solutions to bring it to the ideal range, usually around 5.5 to 6.5 for most plants. It's true that different plants can have slightly different nutrient needs,and seedlings needs a weaker nutrient solution than grown up and flowering plants. In some of our other videoes you can see how we mix nutrient solution and measure and adjust pH and EC for lettuce and tomatoes. If you don't have a pH and EC meter yet, one way to keep things in check is by regularly changing the nutrient solution-about every 1 to 2 weeks. This helps ensure that the pH and nutrient levels stay balanced without needing to test and adjust them constantly. It’s an effective method when you're just starting out 😃. In this article you can see tables for recommended EC and pH values for many different crops: blog.bluelab.com/ph-ec-and-temperature

@@innehagen4248 Many thanks for your reply!! I already have this PH and EC meter and other stuff. I think , I just need this Ph+/- and then I should have everything in place to start :-) Today I built a shelf with grow light to make my first steps with Kratky herbs and simple veggies. It looks stylisch and I hope it works. Your NFT solution is something for later but there will be the day 🙂

You're welcome! Great, and very cool that you've built a Kratky setup. It sounds like a great start-good luck 🌱🌿💚

Thanks for sharing your experience!

It sounds like there might be a problem with your ph meter. You can try refilling ph refill/storage solution in the cap (3 mol KCl). If this doesnt help you should contact the store where you bought it.

Yes, we think this is part of the answer too :-)

In our experience you dont really need netpots for NFT-systems, and you dont have to think about if the seedling roots reach the water. Of course you can use netpots if you are sure that the roots are reaching the water😊 For DWC and Kratky we do use netpots.

@@innehagen4248 i was always taught to keep light out of hydroponic systems.

Bare å stikke innom😀

Hei, mikrotomatene er selvpollinerende så lenge luften ikke blir for fuktig slik at pollen klumper seg, og det er litt vind i teltet med en liten vifte, så går det bra. For jordbærene trenger de hjelp, for dem pollinerer vi ved hjelp av en elektrisk tannbørste 😊

Haha 😄 I see what you mean, but other stuff than power outage can happen...for example the air tube shakes loose from the pump, or you move the tube around in an unfortunate pattern while the power is out....but you have a point though...poor fish 😀

The pH meter in this video does come with electrode protection. The cap has a wet sponge with storage solution and it is is sealed with a rubber o-ring. If your pH meter does not have electrode protection it will not be accurate.

El agua desmineralizada para bateria de auto sirve para diluir la solución de calibración gracias

Yes, it is demineralized water for car batteries👍/ Sí, es agua desmineralizada para baterías de auto👍

@@innehagen4248 gracias

Yes, that is not easy with these fittings. You can try to warm with a hairdryer, but we haven`t tried this yet ourselves.

That is not experience, its been a year and it is still in there 😊

@@innehagen4248 I am absolutely amazed that this silly design of grommet has stayed in and is leak free. Normal design grommets have an inside lip that holds the grommet in place. Every grommet I have ever used for electrical wire protection, or for plumbing applications, has had an inside lip to hold the grommet in place. I know you said that you had good success with your grommet staying in place, but I am not willing to take a chance on a grommet failure due to this silly design of a "Top Hat" style.

Thanks for sharing your experience😊 It is a good point that this might happen if the airtube shakes off the pump several times.

Thank you very much❤️ Its nice to grow flowers with color to lighten up our home in the wintertime🏵🤗

@@innehagen4248 I totally agree 💯% .❤️💚💚❤️🙂💐

Você está certo, removi a música da última parte :-) You're right, I now removed the music on the last part :-)

Thank you for your comment and information about this👍 We have never tested with spongefilter or without airstone, but good to now😃

Hi, thank you for your comment. We think the buckets are only 11 liter, so 18 liter buckets should be good😃 Good luck with the growth🌱

We have now updated the information of the WILMA we are using in this video thanks to your commet💚Thank you!

Thank you very much for your comment! We will of course make more videoes in 2024 ☺️ We wish we had a closeup time lapse running when this happened🙂

@@innehagen4248ooh, that would be cool indeed.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. This is very useful information and we will keep this in mind for our next DWC growth :-)

Hello friend! The cylinder is a Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitor. You can read more about it here: shop.netatmo.com/en-eu/aircare/home-coach/homecoach We use it to measure humidity and temperature. You can link it up to a smart plug so that the air humidifier turns on when the humidity is low....and the fan on if temperature is high.

@@innehagen4248 nice! Tank you for the reply! Interesting air monitor!

Takk, ja det gjør vi også🍓👍

Thank you for your comment. Maybe you can be as kind as to provide us with the correct name for the tool. We are not sure about the english word for it. Also you are right about using a deburring tool to cleqn up the inside. We do this in another video. In this case though the plastic melted more than "burred" so we do not think it will affect the seal. Still better to clean it up though I guess.

@@innehagen4248 I am sorry but a did replyed but can't find my reply here. The drill you used is a countersink. You must use a step drill so you can drill in small steps until you get the right size.

Ja, blir gøy å se om vi får noen fine blomster🌼🌸 og søte jordbær🍓 inne på kjøkkenet i vinter😁

Yes, we have it indoors in our living room :-)

Have you seen this video: th-cam.com/video/34H1Ejrh18E/w-d-xo.html He uses Yara Calcinit, Kristalon Red and Epsom salt. We have no experience with growing chili, only tomato and bell pepper yet, and we have never tried anything other than Kristalon Indigo, Kristalon Plus or Tripart, so it might be better to follow this guy's advice. If you look in the video description he has written how to mix it. He also wrote a kind of feeding chart. He starts with EC of 1.2 for seedlings, then increases EC with about 0.2 every week until max 2.5 mS/cm (you will need a EC and ph meter if you do not have). Looks like 2 parts Red, 2 parts Calcinit, 1 part Epsom salt until EC reach correct value for the whole growth. Remember you can not mix concentrated Kristalon with Calcinit. You have to make 2 concentrated stock solutions (A= CalciNit, B = Kristalon+ Epsom) and mix them separately into the water. Maybe you can try this? Wish you good luck growing!

Hi, you do not have to calibrate it after every use, 3-4 times a year should be enough or you can calibrate it again if it has been stored for a long time 🙂

@innehagen4248 thank you so much. This has been helpful.

Ja, veldig kjekt med dyrkesystemet🌱 på kjøkkenet, og retten ble veldig god 😀

Thank you 😀 Can it be that the bag was damaged? And that the humidity got into the bag? Also did you read our other comment about using demineralised water? It is possible to buy new bags cheap on aliexpress.

I used a deionized water

Are you using demineralised water or just tap water? Demineralised water is water completely free of dissolved minerals as a result of, distillation, deionization or membrane filtration (reverse osmosis). Old car batteries use demineralised water so your local hardware store might have it if you ask for battery water. In this movie we use "battery water". You can also just try to google demineralised water to see where you can buy it nearby. If you use normal tap water, it will have the wrong pH and your calibration liquid will be out of range for calibration. It is also important to be very accurate when you mix the powder with the water. You have to get all of the powder out of the bag. If there is just a little left in the bag the mixture will have the wrong pH. Also you must use exactly the right amount of water (250ml in our case).

We are using this for water irrigation system. For low pressure systems like this it will be water tight. I guess this should also work for sump pump from dehumidifier. Good luck 😀

Yes, you are right, that is a good tip! 😊

Tusen takk 😀

Sometimes you may not have a place to put it that is higher, for example if you have an aquarium on a table its easiest to put the pump on the table next to the aquarium. But if you have somewhere higher to put it that is the best. 😀

Da er det bare å gå i gang og bygge kasser og så😀 Ha det gøy mens du eksperimenterer og til slutt lykkes du og får gode tomater du har dyrket selv! Smaker best da 😉

The pipe is 16mm outer and 12 mm inner diameter. I think that is the same as a 1/2 inch pipe 😃

Yes, we have good experience with coco/perlite in drip system. This is less work than dwc. Ph is more stable and plants doesnt become too big, so less watering and ph measureing. Would recommend this over dwc. Thank you for watching 🙂

Thank you very much❤️ Yes, you might be right that pH will be easier with Kratky. We might do Kratky next time👍 The plants are now enormous and we get problems with air circulation in the limited growing space, even though we planted tiny tim bush tomatoes to avoid this. Maybe with kratky the size will be better for indoor growing.😀🫑🍅🥒

@@innehagen4248 th-cam.com/video/_4ZtodQWwCE/w-d-xo.html

Thank you very much🙂 Yes, we are still using this pH-meter every week. We have not replaced the probe, but we have been careful to have enough pH storage solution in the cap and we have calibrated the meter a couple of times 😀 If you look at this video we use the same pH meter 1,5 years later m.th-cam.com/video/5z3L67xs3-U/w-d-xo.html

Yes, you are right that temperature is a relevant parameter, and we will keep this in mind for our next project 😀

Hehe...yes you are right. It is a bit difficult to measure and at the same time show it to the camera. We dont normally measure like that 😀

@@innehagen4248😸

Hm...are you using deminerlized water? Measure exactly 250ml of water and all of the powder from the bag?

Grazie😀

I understand what you mean, I guess it will leak easier without any air stone, , but the water still has to get over the tank edge. Also I wanted to test with the air stone I was going to use :)
