What’s funny is I found this video to be exactly opposite. It wasn’t a horrible video, but I’m a beginner. Felt like I got no useful info, lots of talk about nothing, no instruction, and while I’m impressed with what he can do - I’m lost and not understanding how anyone is learning anything. Other than apparently you should just grow it in soil?

When the plants are free to grow with no insect interference, it's amazing how pretty they can become. And growing inside, there is no need for any spraying. The last one was as close to 100% organic as I could get. Thank you sir.

That is some beautiful produce. With the Kratky, a float valve and a gravity feed bucket of solution that's set to keep the tote half full might keep the feeder roots happy and leave the air roots working. And a floating flag in the feeder bucket could let you know when the backup was running low. I'm thinking of doing a small hoop structure with open sides just to protect from rain, like 4x8.

Thanks. What you're asking is the primary reason why someone SHOULD consider hydroponics. Other than minimal evaporation, there is virtually zero water wasted. The first 2 cabbages grew for 10+ weeks with about 12 gallons of water. If you were in a dry area, with limited water, I don't think you could do it so efficiently outside. So from a water usage standpoint, it is very economical.

Thanks. I'm planning to use the float valve on my dutch buckets, with a 55 gal barrel. The plants use so much water during the warm months that I have to add water ever other day. A much bigger reservoir would be a time saver. I like your idea of working to maintain a constant level, that makes a lot of sense. And so does a hoophouse for holding off the rain.

Dang! That is a nice head of cabbage. I think I am going to convert my bell siphon flood table to a Kratky method. You're proved the effectiveness and it used less electricity. I think my hydroton was sitting in acidic water (pre-test kit) and I reused the same hydroton in a second crop and have been in constant a battle to keep the pH from dipping to the low 4s. I used an entire bottle of pH up over a few weeks with no more than a day or to in pH 5.5-6.5. Thanks Bobby!
