I was intrigued by the kratky method after watching youtuber Weed in a Pot. I like the cost savings from no soil or pumps...and no knat issues or frequent watering is a bonus!
So, Did a test run of 1 clone that went from 7in to 20in in two weeks! (was expecting 12g and looking more like 1oz!-its still finishing) Anyhow, I tweaked the teachings. This will be my flowering log for ya'll to peep and maybe decide to try.
Supplies List:
1gal jug spring water
Razor knife
2in net cup(or clear solo cups work)
Perlite
Alum foil (protect from algae)
Nutes
Cal-mag
Ph meter
Ppm meter
Clones 2-3wk rooted from mother plant
***the pics this week and watching his vids on kratky will tell you everything you need to know except nutes. (I started them on a balance of all npk+cal mag+micros at 500 -600ppm and grew to height of 10-12inches topping whoever grew too fast. Once switching to flower I refilled container to half way up roots with strictly flower nutes+calmag with ppm 8-900. Always ph'd to roughly 6----5.8-6.2 is good range)
Nutes and water set for the next few weeks. I will comment when refills are done. After 1st week all are healthy, happy and grown 2-3inches. Verosky lights are overhead at 15 inches and mars hydro tsl2000 is hitting the sides while over the flowering mothers.
These plants had an insane stretch. I had to switch out the whole setup table to get away from the light. They are now at 20in under a Mars TSL2000 and catch side light from another over their mothers. They are loving their nutes and environment!
This week I learned 2in net cups are not enough to hold the monsters. Future grows will be clear solo cups. Also learned I need to have the trellis in pace first so it can grow into it...I broke about 6 branches. Hooefully most will make it. Also learned the foil is key as I have had zero algae groth in this Kratky
Went in vacation and lost 5 of them due to lack of enough water but its ok have plenty and the other gitls are looking good. The maxi line nutes are doing great things and keeps it simple.
