WHEW!! The complexity of the method....so glad you were able to make an instructional video!

Holy shithawks Batman! She likes 1300 ppm apparently. This is couple hours after

I think the reason it wants the heavy feed is that it’s directly under and close to a 315 and fresh air intake for the room being blasted straight by it. I’d be hungry too

Very interesting to a dirt guy this swimming pool game.. bad shit happens quick but when you correct it you see the results almost instantly. Very cool that I can find out exactly what a plant likes and what it can handle much more precisely than with soil. Soil is cool but I feel there are so many factors. As cool as the organic orgy that goes down in soil is, it is unpredictable

Yea, hydro is very fun and addictive! Your roots look great too, they are weird tho, I've never had roots grow like that, I wonder if it's because you have no air stone

I've heard with Kratky, the air roots change and get more woody

Cool to see some Kratky talk here.
I've run some Kratky stuff several times. Last year I did some late season outdoor cannabis in Kratky totes, basically 12/12 from seed. The Cliff's Notes version: the plants were healthy from start to finish and made it to harvest.
I've also done tomatoes in Kratky, that works awesome.

Cool! Nice buds.
I’ve yet to see a decent thread about the kratky method being applied to cannabis. Maybe this will be the 1st. (Feel free to post a link of something if you know of a decent kratky journal.)
I respect the simplicity and conservative approach.
It’s the ideal post apocalyptic hydro method.. hmm low fi aquaponics tho.. nvm too complicated. I’m just imagining lots of dead fish and weak plants.. it’s gotta be brutal simple setup when your killing zombies and scavenging for most of the day.

I love the set-it-and-forget-it simplicity of Kratky. I've never had a tomato plant grow so quickly as the ones I ran Kratky.
I plan to do some more Kratky dabbling in the future, so I'll be sure to post my adventures here. I feel like anyone interested in growing stuff hydro should try it out and see, doesn't have to be cannabis, could be tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce...it's a fun exercise.

Got back from being out and about for a couple of days and she had almost no water left. There was only 450 parts per milly left in it 
. For experimental purposes I topped it up with mega crop with biothrive bloom as ph down to see what’s up with the organic option. Said I wouldn’t.. sorry lol. Just left it for a day to see. Not tragic but I feel the plant was up taking nutrients better with the maxibloom meth. Made her up a batch with maxi and dipped the roots in fresh water for a few mins before setting it on the fresh bucket.
hey @SoLowDoughLow
Is it possible to make a poll on this thread?
Would be fun for folks to take a bet whether I can get this unit through flower or not. Haha I wouldn’t be offended at all if folks vote she won’t make it to the end
oh ya. I just added the rinse water to the old res to bring up ph and lower ppmand now I got a nice feed for someone else
I remember Sesame Street mentioning to me as a child that I shouldn’t waste water. I took it to heart

I'll bet it's gonna make it. This is pretty interesting. I've been wondering...Got back from being out and about for a couple of days and she had almost no water left. There was only 450 parts per milly left in it

If I could make a floating planter that let those roots get air, and drop that into a pond. Gotstobee some nutes in the pond water

I voted against . I’ll try my bestest tho I promise. One thing I’ve noticed as of late is that it is not “set it and forget it” if your in a tiny bucket. I’m fiddling with the kratky plant every couple of days. I don’t mind tho. Fun little project.

Most certainly. Large scale aquaculture.I'll bet it's gonna make it. This is pretty interesting. I've been wondering...

So I have to add to the res daily. Added 2 and a half solo cups of solution at 1300 ppm @5.5 ph. This is how much she drinks daily at this time. This bucket is only a gal and a halfish.

The stretch is real
still at 1300 ppm o maxibloom. Tempted to up it again.. any thoughts?

IMO, if it's holding steady at 1300, and u don't see any deficiencies, I would leave it where it's at...
