Finally a video that has some great information. You answered all the questions I was having. Nice job!
Best video on this subject I have seen yet! Thank you
one additional tip ive learned is to mix the fertilizer solution in a separate gallon container and use that to top off the DWC system, that way the fertilizer solution stays consistent and theres no fluctuation or risk of burn.
Very clear instruction, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you 😀😀😀
This is absolutely the best video I have found on this, thanks so much!
Thank you for these videos! You are doing an important service by sharing this information.
Thanks AmazeBall, I appreciate it!
Thank you, great video!! I have been looking all over for help with this topic, and your info was by far the best!
Great video, short and sweet.
This is the best video I’ve found on this topic! Thank you!
Straightforward as always.
Thank you finally some straightforward easy to understand info ! Keep plants 1" to 2" above water !
Beautifully explained, thank you!
excellent and super complete video!
Very Goooood! Video
Thank you. Very well done and inspiring . I just started adding air to my Kratky setups and was pleasantly surprised at the improved results. Your doing a great service to the home growers.
Thank you hopheadeddie, its nice to hear positive feedback, I appreciate it!
tank you for the valuable information this is the most informative video on dwc out there
Thanks for sharing this..
It will be a great help indeed!💚👏
You rock. Thanks for the great information.
Hi, just wanted you to know that your videos are great and extremely helpful for someone trying to learn the basics of hydroponics. keep it up!
Thank you Nathan, I appreciate it!
@@TikkiOOO )
Very good video. Thank you!
Hi Tikki! I’ve only found your channel recently but am really enjoying it. I just started the Kratky method last year so I love seeing everything you do with that, and with the other methods you use. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Sandra, and good luck with your growing!
very informative, system was well explained
Your backyard looks like a beautiful winter wonderland and the video was nice and clear and was to understand
Thank you articufix, I appreciate your support and comment. Its time to fly someplace warm, that's for sure!
I appreciate your work, very well done, danke
WOW, what an improvement over the early videos. Very much appreciated, good content, narration and the camera work is on a professional level. Well done. Gave a thumbs UP and even subscribed :-)
Thanks Gary, I'm not there yet, but I'm trying to get better at the video part. Check back in another year and I will hopefully take it to the next level, its a learning process. Thanks for the sub and your support, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the tips
Good instruction. Thanks. God bless you.
very informative.
You have a wonderful delivery of this and I thank you. I intend to "dip my toes" into this next year with Tomatoes, Herb things and maybe various Peppers. I have no way of controlling anything so I will have to make a judgement on that. I will probably use Kratkey unless I can find some way of getting electricity although I will look at a battery operated system. Many thanks.
Good luck James...take my advice, start with lettuce or herbs, not fruiting plants until you get more than just your toes wet. Basil and parsley grow easily in my experience, wishing you success!
cool video!
Great video 👏👏👏
Thanks Rocky!
Good Evening Madam ,You’re very good teacher, explained everything very well.
I got your reply, Tikki...the only problem I have is flowering of my peas...indoor growing system.
I use fora micro, it’s super easy and doesn’t appear to burn. I only use half the recommended dose though, normal dose puts my PPM over 1k, anything over 900 the nutrient uptake gets wonky…. At least from experience. This was a wonderful video, learned a few new things. Thank you :)
Edit: I grow mainly cannabis which can be tricky and I was also using a compost tea. I haven’t tried a full dose of flora again though after I started seeing discoloration in the leaves. This specific plant doesn’t like 1k + PPM until late flower.
I decided to try your tiny tim tomato, and the clay ball medium...wish me luck...!
Thank you
This is such an excellent introduction, thank you very much. Fingers crossed that I can get some cucumbers in a couple months.
Do you have a video on leaf problems?
Thankyou, do I need a timer for the pump?, does it stay on all day?
Easiest way to know if you need to add water is having a reservoir container and have all your hydro buckets connected together with tubing going from container to container and use a circulation pump. The reservoir bucket needs to be the same height as the main growing buckets and will be in sequence and it will have a clear 1/2 inch tube connected to the bottom of your reservoir bucket 🪣 with an elbow, now this tube is cut to the length of the height of the reservoir. The reason for the tube is to allow you to always know the height of the water in your system and the reservoir bucket allows you to add water to your system without having to disturb your growing buckets. The other advantages of the reservoir is it allows you to check your systems chemistry and also for adding pre fertilized water without disturbing your main growing buckets.
where did you get the containers that hold the water?
Where did you buy your food safe bins?
I read that roots hate light- should the top lid be duct taped or spray painted black to let out light? Just wondering?
Have you ever tried a hydroponic method for large veggies or fruit, like zucchini squash or cantaloupe in a large container such as a big tote box or trash can? I would like to try that in the Kratky method this spring and summer. It would sure save me from a lot of digging. I've grown lettuce and cherry tomatoes in mason jars Kratky style, but nothing big before. Thanks for the video, Tikki.
No Sheri, I haven't. I grow the hydroponics indoors, and there is just not enough room for all the stuff I want to grow. Check out Jeb Gardener's videos on hydroponics, he does some interesting things with the Kratky method. I saw he once tried to grow a radish using Kratky!
Upon takin cuttings,are cutting Stems submerged in a DWC system?
Use an ec meter when topping up your water. Find out what ec the plants you're growing like, then dilute or add nutrients as needed. If you don't do that you're just guessing what the nutrient level is in your water.
Hello Tikki, i was wondering if it is possible to grow two different veggies in the same deep water container. say cucumber and bell pepper. i see that they make good companions in soil but what about in hydroponics ? thank you
Interesting, I always keep my plants in separate containers, didn't think to try, but I don't see why not? In my Aerogarden I have different herbs growing with lettuce, so it should work since that is DWC. Only way to find out is to try....thanks for the question and comment!
Thanks Tikki, going to try it :) and by the way you actually inspired me to start my own Kratky and DWC
What is the light time ?
so DWC is essentially Kratky method but with the use of an air pump?
Please teach us how to make solution for hydroponics
PH? EC??
Hy..... My name is Mohammad khan from Pakistan
Please can you give me a hydroponic recipe for tomatoes and chillies plants and leafy greens
That I can make myself
Hi Mohammad, I suggest you look at the labels and try to replicate it. Here is one I use, you can see the back label and try to make your own:
amzn.to/2F89rZ9 good luck!
😁✌🖖👌👍 😎
Started w/coffee containers and needed more room for roots...food grade of 4...dumb luck for sure...
Hello Steven...I'm always up for trying new things....sometimes dumb luck works....
Disappointed you didn't mention the actual water levels. Im going from Krasky to DWP and dont know should I raise the level.
