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

TransplantingI just transplanted yesterday into 5gallon pots, do they look ok ? I dropped Runtz onto itself. The others seemed okay even though soil went everywhere. Not sure what to do to make sure all the roots & plant are healthy still. Any suggestions?

Rotten rootsCrescita rallentata. Sembrava andare tutto nel verso giusto invece la radici della mia white wid dwc hanno subito l'attacco di un batterio che le fa andare in putrefazione e non riesco in nessun modo a eliminarlo, ho eliminato un po di marciume ma credo che ormai sia compromessa

Nutrient Burn, Leaf Septoria, Nutrient Deficiency? Or something else?I have been having issues with the Purple Haze. I've tried adjusting the Temperatures, adding additional Cal-Mag, changing lumen intensity etc.
I believe this may be nutrient burn?

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
