B.A. KRATKY - DIY HOW TO BUILD PASSIVE HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS

DIY Design and Build Kratky Method "Fill Once & Forget" hydroponic systems for beginners. Here is the difference between active and passive hydroponics, and considerations that make passive systems favorable at times. Yield, reservoir capacity, gallons necessary, drill bit sizes, and other items to consider are mentioned. Professor Kratky of Hawaii introduced me to passive hydroponics, which he called non-circulating hydroponics in most of his research. I like to teach principles of the Kratky Method for beginners, as well as seasoned growers. It is one of the best hydroponic methods for beginners. This DIY hydroponic method can easily be adapted to hot peppers, lettuce, house plants, and flowers. Anyone who enjoys a container garden for plants, house plants, propagating, or cloning. Will easily pick up on this hydroponic method. Wikipedia Says, "Plants are placed in net cups filled with an inert growth medium such as rock wool, expanded clay aggregate, or coconut coir. The net cups are suspended above a reservoir of water containing essential nutrients in solution. Only the root tips are allowed to touch the surface of the reservoir. As the plant grows and depletes the water level, a gap of moist air will form and expand between the water surface and the base of the plant. The roots in this gap become laterally branching "oxygen roots," and absorb oxygen from the air inside the container.[3] By the time the water level is fully depleted, the plant should be ready to harvest. Thus, in one growing cycle, no additional replenishment of water or nutrients is needed beyond the initial application. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

The hydroponic setups can benefit from selections that are more optimized for the conditions of home hydroponics versus traditional crops outdoors in fields. When running profits or productivity measures based on square feet or square meters of space allotted towards growing, look at cost per square foot and output. You will want to have the most return on the dollar or other measures of return on investment. Hydroponic Farming at Home for small spaces will often mean focusing on microgreens, long harvest plants, or micro dwarf plants. Since you will be lighting your grow rooms or grow areas, cost per plant is often better with small plants and higher production. Often times, hydroponic farming at home includes growing in rooms, basements, grow tents, attics, or small outside or backyard homes. Roof tops are also included. So many big city or urban garden investors need guidance also. Be sure to subscribe to my channel to learn more about hydroponic gardening at home. Your hydroponic farming questions are welcomed. I am always looking to get more productivity on smaller areas. Also, I am always looking to get more productivity from less energy and less electricity. As a benefit to many, Professor Bernie Kratky taught me several cost savings benefits for growing crops. I have primarily expanded on his teaching in the realm of fill and forget passive hydroponics as a means of growing not just greens, microgreens, or lettuce, but to grow fruiting crops like tomatoes, peppers, squash, strawberries, and many other crops. The Kratky Method developed by Purdue University graduate, B.A. Kraty, with insights from William Frederick Gericke: who was, by the late 1920's growing enormous tomato plants in early hydroponic method. I also was fascinated in communicating with Maureen Mecozzi, who worked for the AVRDC at the time. A lot of work has been done in the Philippines with Styrofoam cups and containers in the growing of food crops. Information indicated there are over on million soil-less culture units operating in the United States for the production of food alone. Russia, France, Canada, South Africa, Holland, Japan, Australia and Germany are among other countries where hydroponics is receiving much attention. Howard Resh has been another influence, along with his pioneering research in hydroponics.
