(And if it's not, you still don't want it in your landfill, otherwise it will get in your food/body regardless, just a different avenue). Just don't purchase/use plastics at all if you are concerned even about food-safe plastics.

There are so many ways to start growing at home. Great job.

[@mafikisa]

You have inspired me. I will be running to the nursery tomorrow to buy the chemicals. I have so many fruit and vegetable seeds at home which I have germinated.

[@DebPainchaud]

Start seeds in small containers as micro greens. A win win, pick the strongest seedlings to transfer into your larger containers and just harvest the rest (can usually get two or three micro green harvest from one tray)

[@hydroponicswitheli]

Great video. I am just starting and went to get a roasted chicken at Walmart for the container to make micro greens. No more containers they sell them in bags. But you have shown me so many other containers. I just have to save for the 3 bags of nutrients. Thank you. New subscriber.

[@undercoverbird8592]

I don’t eat out much so I just get some food saving containers at the dollar tree. There is no way I can collect all those containers since we make milk with milk powder, we don’t drink soda or juices from the store and I make my own iced tea and use mason jars and I cook from scratch. So $1.25 for a container works for me 😊❤

[@jyotsnach9544]

Hello, thanks for sharing. Can you please let me know how often we need to change the liquid?

[@davinasquirrel7672]

You do not need to 'change' the hydroponic nutrients, unless something goes wrong (usually algae). But you may need to 'replenish' the nutrient solution, which depends on the type of plant, the size of the reservoir. If you are growing something like a tomato, go for the 20L/5gall bucket at least, and you will definitely need to top it up, probably weekly. Something like a lettuce will only use (I hope I remember this correctly) about 5-6 litres for its entire grow, so if you have it in that sized container, you should not need to top it up at all. Algae only becomes a problem if light gets to the nutrient solution. You will notice that most containers shown were opaque, or had tinfoil wrapped around them.

[@kuvel1972]

[@jayziac]

I'm new to Kratky hydroponics and after watching many other videos, have come to similar methods as this video. The solutions summarized here are the most simple and least expensive way to do it with reusable household items. Is there a benefit to laying milk cartons horizontally vs just vertically and put the transplant in the normal smaller cap opening? It could save use of another pool noodle. A couple of downsides could be the diameter may be too small for thick plants, and thre water level changes more from top to bottom. Also any tips on how to check water levels in the coke cans and milk cartons other than lifting the whole plant regularly?

[@healinghobbies]

I am pleased to know that you were able to find helpful ideas in this video. I did tried both vertically and horizontally on the milk cartons. The only advantage laying it down is, it has a better support as the plant matures but either way works fine. With the water level, Since these containers are small, it's not necessary to install a water gauge for monitoring the water level. What I usually do is check them two weeks after transplanting and refill if needed. Typically, hydroponic plants takes off after two weeks as they become established in their new environment. I hope this helps!🌱🙂

[@dr.samcassara7244]

Thank you, this was great! However I do have a question. We do vertical towers and use 2 - 50 gallon drums with a pump ( we have 38 towers and use the verti gro system). Would I take your nutrient solution and multiply it by 10 for the 50 gallon drums? Also where is the best place to get the nutrients to do it ourselves? TIA. Linda

[@Metqa]

Ahahaha, When I saw the cans, I just smiled and laughed so hard. My front yard is filled with cans with veggies growing in them. It's not as artisically set up as yours, but what works works, right? I have to know though. I ruined a good can opener trying to cut the tops off of cans. it still works for food cans but it won't open any more soda tops. Are you using a basic can opener to get your soda can tops off or some other device? ( Nevermind, I got ahead of the vid. I see you used a knife.) I gave up trying to open the tops and just put a wedge of pool noodle in the regular drinking opening with a sprout and let it go from there. Makes refilling hard, but by the time it needs a refill the plant has grown to young harvest size. If it works, right? Clever use of a steam cooker! I have been saving my almond milk cartons to do the same. I used ones since last year and they are starting to fall apart! They are really nice and dark and a good size. I hadn't thought to put a separate hole for the noodle but I can see how that would make refilling them easier via the spout, if needed.

[@healinghobbies]

Yes it doesn't have to be aesthetically appealing, what matters most is you are happy in the process and you love what you do. I can relate to removing those can lids 😀 my can opener won't work with those cans so I have to use a knife which is not so easy to use🙂🌱.

The only reason I won't do hydroponics is because I won't purchase all the feed I need from the store because it's all chemical-based. So can you please show us how to create every hydroponic liquid out of natural ingredients then I'll start doing hydroponics

[@Prat-zi1ou]

Those natural thing you will use are also grown using feeds

[@rocknmamma2666]

If you raise and maintain goldfish or mosquito fish in a small pond, say a kiddie wading pool with a few water plants and maybe a shallow layer of sand, you can use the nutrient rich water to grow your container plants. Just keep refilling your pond when you take out the water. Many hydroponic methods float containers in larger pools with tilapia (edible fish) for a complete cycle.

[@susanshelit]

Buy a container. Throw in all your scraps (meat too), add rainwater. Let it rot at least two weeks and you have hydroponics fluid. Ps: add some epson salt for good measure.

[@lilianobi]

What are the scraps mentioned here and quantity of Epsom salt to use

[@susanshelit]

@@lilianobi all scraps, including meat. Here's the thing. Plants live on sunlight but they need vitamines to grow good. For plants they are: sulfur, fosfor, nitrogen, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Of these, magnesium is the most important (aids fotosynthesis). All these things can be recycled by letting scraps (meat, milk and plants) rot in water. Now, the absolute bíggest misconception is, that you have to decide what the plant needs and then add those ratio's. Wrong. The plant decides what it needs and as long as you make sure that enough of every nutrient is available, the plant will thrive. I mentioned Epsom salt because as far as I know, not many plants incorporate potassium but the ratio has to be really small (about half of what you would add compared to other ingredient or maybe even as little as two table spoons to 20 liters of water). And remember to dilute it (for hydroponics)because in nature, those ingredients would be watered down as well by soil.

[@gayatrirathi5474]

[@davinasquirrel7672]

An additional tip for the newbies - have a container that is opaque, otherwise you will get algae growth in the nutrient solution. A further tip, go for larger containers if you have the space, it will save a lot of work replenishing the nutrient solution. A lettuce should do well in a 4 litre container, you may only need to partially top it up once during its entire grow. Use the large 20 litre buckets for larger plants like tomatoes, and you will likely have to top those up each week. There are some tables online that give the suggested nutrient strength for different plants. Start young seedlings at about 1/4 strength.

[@History_Recapped01]

Tnx a lot.

[@VineetaV-r1j]

How often do we have to change water ? If changed do we again add the same nutri content used ?

[@healinghobbies]

Depending on your set up, if you have a container of approximately 3 liters to a gallon, it will provide enough nutrient solution for your leafy greens until harvest. You won't need to refill or change the solution in this case. For smaller containers like soda cans, you can refill them at least 2-3 times until harvest without changing the nutrient solution. However, please note that this doesn't apply to every individual plant. If you're growing fruiting plants such as tomatoes, eggplants, or cucumbers in a 5-gallon bucket, the first refill will typically be needed around 4-5 weeks after transplanting. As the plants grow, blossom, and bear fruit, they will require more nutrients. In such cases, refilling at least twice a week should be sufficient. An important factor to consider when refilling your growing container or reservoir is to leave a gap of at least 2 inches between the base of the roots and the solution. This gap allows air roots to develop and prevents the plant from drowning. For plants with longer growth periods, it's necessary to clean or change the nutrient solution to avoid bacterial growth. In my experience, I typically clean and change the solution at least twice throughout the entire growing season or whenever it becomes necessary. I hope it helps!🌱🙂
