BEET BOX GARDEN! Grow Hydroponic BEETS Kratky Method | Hydroponic Farming At Home

I'm editing a video with one beet...one! You just showed me up big time. 😂Going to cut mine down to a short and hang my head in shame, lol. Keep up the great work!

[@healinghobbies]

Whoopps sorry Mike😄 It's been long overdue, I couldn't put my head together on this video, I'm glad I finally finish it. Thank you!💜

[@Katya-zj7ni]

Yes you can I’m doing g it in May with seedlings I grew in April, so far all is well and yes It’s coco coir and perlite

@@blessisrael6455yes, see below post, I tried to tag you but it didn’t work. Good luck

[@blessisrael6455]

@@Katya-zj7ni Oh, I have Coco Coir bricks to grow seeds, so I just add the perlite and I can grow it in net cups rather then clay pebbles ?

[@Katya-zj7ni]

@@blessisrael6455I followed her instructions to the letter and they’re growing well, it’s day 18 and they look like the video. However I’m going to try the turnips she also shows ( with seedlings ) and use the net cups and pebbles as an experiment. Good luck ❤ (Yes the beets are in coco and perlite )

This is the single greatest root-focused hydroponics video on the internet.

[@MattGarver]

Great video, I am impressed by how many people use this Kratky method adaptation with soil filled cups in Styrofoam containers. The Philippines has thousands of gardeners, and do really well with this approach.

[@healinghobbies]

Thanks Matt!🌱💜

[@blessisrael6455]

Really … ? Wow, I didn’t know it’s that popular; if they can do it in the Philippines which, being a country that’s economically impoverished, then we should definitely be able to do it here; G-d Bless….. ; )

That is the biggest, most beautiful beet I’ve ever seen……. It puts grocery store ones to absolute shame; the leaves are great for a salad and LOVE using beets in fermented vegetables; amazing !!!!

just what I was looking for thank you

[@MrLovzz]

Can you show me how do you control ph of the container solutions and how do you top up solutions and control E.C.

[@SiddarthaKumarKadali]

how can we know that we should add the nutrient solution after few days. what are the signs that we should be looking for?

[@Brandon-jw5cv]

Can most root vegetables like beets be done with the "double strength" Master blend like in the video? Thanks!

[@CityGardenSolutions-lc9ok]

wow i didn't think radishes could get that big

[@silverfoxes65]

Nice job! Thanks for sharing.

[@bmwalker5816]

This is a great video. Especially for a newbie wanting to grow root vegetables the krachy way. My only question is I noticed when pouring your nutrients from your 5 gallon pail (yellowish tinge to the nutrients) into your styrofoam container. You used all of your 5 gallons of nutrients. Then you topped up the remaining portion and it appeared to be just water because it did not have the yellow tinge to it like your nutrients do. So what size container is your styrofoam box how many gallons or liters. Judging by the size of your Solo cups that you're using as net cups and the amount of holes in your lid I'm assuming it's approximately about 9 or 10 gallons. Approximately how much extra water did you put in with your original 5 gallon of to top up the system? I'm just afraid if I put in my container which is 10 gal two 5 gallon pails of nutrients that are over full strength like that. I may burn my seedlings. Thank for any comments in advance.

[@johny9101]

Did you ever figure out? I overlooked it but now that I’m checking it does seem like he replenished the rest of the missing space with plain water.

[@bmwalker5816]

I came to the same conclusion as you. Although it appears that he's mixing the nutrient solution a little on the weak side. The recommendation for 10 gallons of water would be approximately 32 grams of Master blend tomato formula judging by him using a heaping 15 mm measuring spoon I calculated it out to be approximately 24 g maybe 25 of Master blend. So he's not far off but it is a little on the weaker side. That being said I did try it over the winter here and it did not go well. How to get a grow tent kept the temperature below 70° and had a lot of root rot. The beats never got really large but the leaves did so managed to get lots of greens. Thanks for your reply.

[@COG2017]

Amazing video. Thank you so much

[@healinghobbies]

You're welcome! Happy to share🌱🙂

[@marilynlee6135]

I am brand new to hydroponics. I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Why is the nutrient solution mix so much stronger for root crops such as beets and onions compared to say, lettuce or tomatoes for example?

[@msfullroller]

My guess is that more Phosphorous and potassium is needed in order for the toots to swell and be large, otherwise you'll just get regular roots.

[@marilynlee6135]

[@susanbrackett6408]

Question: what are these containers? It looks like Styrofoam with a bag in it?

[@blueandbanana]

Why use cocopeat and perlite? Can’t I just use styrofoam to hold each seedling and nutrient rich water please?

Thank you so much lalabs😘

[@lakshmishkaushik4086]

Thanks for this great video. I had a question. While using the growing mixture and containers in the sun doesn't it develop algae on the surface of growing media? The growing media being in direct contact with water how to ensure algae doesn't grow.

[@johny9101]

The containers are a snug fit, besides they are filled with coco noir and perlite so no sunlight should really penetrate through. For extra protection you could probably use aluminum foil to cover the lid and a heat insulation mat around the reservoir

[@adroc9841]

What size net cups are those?

[@blessisrael6455]

@@healinghobbies That’s great to know; Btw, I tried everything you did in your video and it failed; but, there was one thing I didn’t do that you did which I believe led to my downfall- I didn’t have the $ to buy the coco/perlite mix you used and had to do something with my beet seedlings, so I used a peat moss mix potting soil instead with rocks and the soil got soaked and the plants withered; Right now, I just put the beet plants in a pool noodle leaving the roots exposed to the nutrients in a can, and they’re actually doing great, but I have to do something because they can’t grow beets where they’re at; I’m trying to figure out how and where to get that mixture that will hold up to the nutrients…… thanks !! ; )

super nice job! 😃

[@sherrillsittre4398]

I have probably 100 buckets but are about 25 gallons maybe and I was wondering if these are just too big to use? And I don’t have lids for them.

[@bmwalker5816]

I have 55 gallon plastic drums that I've cut in half put wood covers over top of them piece of plywood. And put 12-in net pots into them and screwed the net pot down to to the lid and then you can grow large size plants like tomatoes without having to worry about. And if you're growing the kracky method you will just use a little more nutrient

[@kimnorris5587]

Is this best done in a greenhouse only? If you have it outdoors say when it rains will that interfere in the nutrients?

[@johny9101]

Prom my perspective and with all due respect, if it’s raining that often where you live, I don’t see the convenience in growing hydroponically. But regardless of that, I think taping a dome of aluminum foil onto the cups could provide sufficient protection to rain 👍🏼
