Kratky isn’t working well

AlpineGoatstarted grow question 5 years ago

Kratky system isn’t working well for my girl. She keeps growing slowly thanks to some hydratation with the spray but the roots never reached the water. I never used rockwool for her, only perlite. What can I do? It’s almost 1 month old!

@Silky_smooth, have the same kind of setup on one of her diary or too so I recommending you to take a look and well copy what she's doing has she's doing it well. That said if the roots doesn't touch the water you can bring more water or put a cotton mesh , like that the water will travel trought the mesh and will reach the roots , google it , if I remember well they are doing it with dutch pots or NFT system ( I'm not sure )

Uhh...I think your roots still have to reach the water first. Once they have then just maintain it so there's always an air gap. But don't quote me on this one.

the more times you water the quicker she will move it wont hurt. you are washing through each time as long as roots dont sit in still/stagnating water start of with an empty container if you like gives more waterings before an empty

that looks like a mini bubbler without the bubbles. what i would do is get a small syringe 5 ml and inject water from the top just a couple of ml each time maybe 3/4 times a day when roots touch the water dump it out if its been there a while you are running is a passive system this will add a little activity

Hydrobucket I'm growing out of a 3.5 gal hydrobucket. I've read that it's good to lower the water level by 1"-2" inches to promote root growth.. is this true or should I keep my water level where I started it at? Thank you.

Help my plants to recover and thrive :)Coco grow: seedlings started to droop. Maybe caused by over watering? During transplant I found out the roots were completely underdeveloped. The transplant shocked the plants. Growth is stunted. What can I do to get them to recover and thrive? Consult my diary for more details.

Root system not looking good, correct?This is /not/ how a root system should look at 15 days, correct? It looks like the roots were suffocated. Would perlite help going forward in the future? Had abt 20% plite. Is the organic potting soil I got just low quality and too dense? I definitely chronically overwatered too

Roots progress Guys, for this week I had prepared a 1/10 fert solution (10-10-10), very dissolved in water, with 10 water parts. And thats how she responded. When could I dissolve, for example, 1/7, or even 1/5 for fert? Would it make the plant grow stronger? Roots Growing Mineral, which one?
