Hydroponic Green Beans - Seed to Harvest
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video we'll be going from seed to harvest with hydroponic beans. I'll be growing these plants in recycled glass jars and doing it all with the Kratky hydroponic method. Follow along as we see how much production we can get from these plants and monitor how beans perform in a Kratky hydroponics environment.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but it looks like your plants had nutrient burn, most likely from nutrients concentrating in the jars from evaporation and being continually topped off instead of occasionally replaced (or topped off with just water).
That's what I was thinking. Especially since beans are very light on nutrient feeding and being grown indoors I can't imagine the outside temperature making all that big of a difference. Although I might be wrong. Beans my just genetically be predisposed to die after a given lifespan. Harvesting does expand the life of beans when you grow in dirt, but they do eventually die. I'm curious if a perpetual bean plant is possible.
Did you change out the solution at any point, or was it just topping up each time?
I mostly top up, but occasionally if things get dirty/mirky ill do a total change
Very often, the yellowing of leaves is actually caused by a calcium deficiency in the plant. I would recommend adding a calculated amount of calcium nitrate next time
Thanks for sharing that thats helpful
With Gratky hydroponics, you're not supposed to top up the water. The plant forms air roots as the water level goes down and the water roots grow deeper to follow the water while the air roots get oxygen and moisture. Calibrated nutrient water has to be added, but not topped up, because the jar is so small. In a large enough jar, there is no need to add water.
Why in the dark? I do mine on cotton balls in a 14 hours LED light. 3 days later I have what you have in 3 weeks? So you can make a 13 weeks into a 10 weeks live and a start harvesting also 3 weeks earlier.
Try using a 6” top hat lid on a 5 gallon pail. That’d be interesting to see how it turns out.
Agreed it would be! Should be trying some larger reservoirs soon
imagine growing them just with water, who would figure that one out
The seed sustains the early growth but nutrients have to be added to the water soon after germination.
Self sufficient Jimmy B :) Well done and many thanks for putting the effort to educate us.
Thanks Frankie, I appreciate the support!
Are the flowers pollinated by wind or insects?
I've noticed hydroponic plants adapt to reservoir size where soil plants will circle their roots and become suffocated.
I have a pinto bean growing in a coffee container and it's very healthy although roots filled the reservoir and stopped growing but is developing flowers .
I want to try this experiment with a tomato
Thats great! I too have yet to see any real adverse effects on the plants, but am curious what the limits are with plants like tomatoes, peppers etc. I just purchased some larger jars and hope to do a few comparisons
The reason that happens in dirt is that the roots are searching for moisture, and/or nutrients, whereas in hydroponics it has plenty of both so there is no need to go out searching.
Hi with which camera u make ur timelapse?
Iphone
What is the strength of the nutrient solution did you apply on these bean plants? I plan to grow string or long beans hydroponically but i dont know the ppm requirements.
I just follow the mixing instructions of whatever nutrients I purchase and that hasn't steered me wrong yet. Was most likely using the advanced nutrients micro/grow/bloom here. Just a base series, nothing fancy.
excellent job my friend what to say and i wait to see this bean in a larger pot it would be monster
Thanks V! I'm also curious to see how a bigger reservoir would turn out
Hey Jimmy. Are you still using the same nutrient mix you introduced in your May 1, 2021 video for the plants you're growing this year?
I do still use those- future harvest nutrients. I also use Advanced Nutrients - their micro/grow/bloom series.
I find the base (micro/grow/bloom) series from all these brands work pretty similarly. Just follow the instructions on the bottle.
Good luck with your own plants! Any questions let me know
Very good results sir💐🙏 ji
My Man!! Always on point. Luv it!!
Thanks as always, Zo!
Kratky food is the future! Nice vid
