Someone below has probably mentioned it already. But an organic gardener I know recommends spraying the plant / fruit with chilli water. Get the fresh chilli, chop roughly, cover in boiling water, and allow to cool. Filter out the lumps and spray the water on the plant that is getting chewed. The rodent that won't eat chilli on the plant, won't eat chilli on the other plants. Actually works really well.

Do you think this would also work with garlic whater?

[@fionakellie2352]

@@tillusgreenbottle9295 you could certainly try. There are bugs that don't like garlic. I use the logic if your bugs aren't eating something, eg chilli, it will work as a detergent. And to be fair, I don't get many bugs attacking my garlic.

[@danielpinedo8289]

Can confirm this works. Garlic oil also works

[@bradybunch84a]

I thought it was really neat how you took the time to just stop and sit in your chair and just appreciate what you have in life. I am glad you shared that with us instead of cutting that short segment out. This may have been the most important part of your entire video. Showing how taking the time to smell the roses is really easy but so many people miss this opportunity So important for our mental health. Just wanted to thank you for that moment. So many people miss out on those moments but maybe because of your video someone might just pick up on it. Thanks. Just found your channel and this is the first one I am watching. I'm very interested in doing some small hydroponic gardening for my wife and I. I like your speed when you are explaining things. No too fast, just right so the info can sink in.

[@Tpsx-cv4jq]

I love that you put put a camera INSIDE the tub so we could see the roots developing and the pulsing manner that plants suck water in throughout the days. Nobody else would’ve thought to give us that view, awesome thinking, man!

[@selbstversorgeraufmallorca]

Yes, I will improve my technique... thanks

[@FraleyMusic]

I've been using "infinite" Kratky for tomatoes and cucumbers for a while. Definitely need to pay attention to the nutrient solution over time: (a) during hot times the plants transpire way more water than nutrients, so the nutrients get super concentrated to the point where the plants can no longer pull water (bad!); and (b) over time you can end up with deficiencies as the plants use up one component of the nutrients. Fully changing the water periodically works great for this. I do us a float valve, but I connect several containers together to a separate 2 gallon container with the float valve--it's too far for the roots to reach. It also requires all connected containers to be at the same level. When starting a new plant, I'll stopper the connection to the float valve so I can start with a full container, then connect it up once the plant has used enough water to bring it down to the proper level. Works great!

[@superkillr]

Are you doing any pH adjustments? What EC do you start at?

[@FraleyMusic]

@@superkillr My water source usually has an EC of 0.2, and I'm using ENVY brand dry two-part nutes (form Amazon), usually mixed to a final EC of 2.0--mainly because I'm lazy--I've been meaning to research tailoring EC to the veg I'm growing, although I often purposely run my tomatoes closer to 2.5, but I don't really worry about it. For lettuce, definitely closer to 1.5 EC. As for PH, after adding these, I'm typically running 6.0 to 6.5, so I usually don't even measure and assume it'll be fine. When water transpiration concentrates, nutes, the EC goes off the charts--last week (not having paid any attention, I drain most of the nutes, refilled with plain water, and the EC was *still* off the charts--LOL! So I drained again, refilled again with water, and got down to 2.4 EC (still more than my target 2.0, but I'm lazy). My biggest problem (I live in Hawaii) is that pests grow even better than plants, so I'm constantly battling moths, aphids, etc.

[@alexj.8710]

What do you use to connect your containers together?

[@FraleyMusic]

@@alexj.8710 I'm using 1/2" poly tubing and quick-connect connectors. Definitely not the cheapest way to go. For that I'd suggest hose or the cheap landscaping poly tubing available at big box stores, and non-quick-connect fittings. I'm using 2- and 5-gallon buckets for everything.

[@Jonathanmacgregor]

I deal with the same exact problem in my rain gutter grow system. I have 8 plants per gutter and in the heat they concentrate the solution in a few hours because of transpiration. To combat this in the summer I switch my reservoir to water and I top off each plant with nutrient solution once a week or so. Seems to be working well.

Thank you very much for the explanation and the concept.

[@zain5496]

[@ScottSpeedPro]

That was one of the best creative uses of timelapse I've ever seen, really well done!

[@ShevillMathers]

I would suggest that your blossom end rot is a lack of sulphur and or magnesium, so some extra magnesium sulphate (Epsom Salts) would fix the problem with this individual plant. Also In my experience growing tomatoes in this technique, nutrient strength increases during hot weather as the plant uses more water than nutrients, so a top up with plain Ph 6.0-6.5 water helps to bring back EC levels to 2.4. I grow in a large poly house under Australian conditions where temps exceed 40C some days, even with 30% white shade mesh covering the poly house. Enjoy your series because you include a good range of methods from simple to more complex in terms of equipment used. I started hydroponics back in the 1960’s where I had to make all my nutrients from basic chemicals, nor any plastic tubs, tubing, accessories etc. I have a medical lab science background so had chemicals and test meters readily available. None of what we take for granted these days did not exist back then, no plastic containers/tubs, tubing, no LED grow lights etc. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 👍😁🇦🇺🦘

[@komolafeabraham4411]

Hi top of the day to you. I randomly stumbled on your comment and I reckoned you must have a lot of experience in hydroponics especially in tomatoes planting which I'm looking to go into in Africa. We have a lot of food insecurities and lack of standard food preservation method of tomatoes thus we depend on organic growers and that's seasonal, I looking to bridge the gap through hydroponics farming but I will want to learn from someone who can guide from their wealth of experience. Could you help mentoring sir? Please?

[@ShevillMathers]

P.S. Another method I use in hot weather is to switch over from nutrients to plain water at the correct pH. for a day or three. This helps to dissolve unused chemicals in the grow media. Also check the nutient tank and top up with pH'd water to maintain approx 2.4 EC, not critical and I have found that overall the tomatoes thrive very well. Too much nitrogen produces way too many leaves (vegetation) so I reduce the nitrogen to half when tomatoes are fruiting

Your videos are really something special mate. Been following your content for awhile now. Your content has helped me more than any other in my own hydroponics journey. And even more so than that, the videos are just a joy to watch. Very few sources of content exist that fall into my "Comfort" category, and yours is one of them, meaning that I always come back to your channel, skim through your videos, and just relax and watch, learn, appreciate, and feel all the positive vibes that come along with it. Your bit where you are relaxing with your plants between takes says it all. That's what it's all about isnt it? You enjoy what you do, and you are putting in the work so that others can enjoy what you are doing right along with you, and maybe even take some of that enjoyment into their own hands through their own home gardening. Simply amazing. I was also watching when you went through your break up, and I really empathized with you then, as i'm sure most did. That is so unbelievably hard. But look at you now. You look amazing. You are in shape, healthy, surely from eating the freshest plants on earth ;), you're smiling. It's great. Yeah there may still be some pain and hardships in there, but you are doing it. Still doing what makes you happen. Still pumping out videos for others to enjoy..

Amazing work Hoochos :) really loving the kratky systems you're showing us. I'd be really keen to see this method without LECA or Coco coir for growing tomatoes or other fruiting plants. And I absolutely love the idea of using the float valve, would be so cool to see this done on smaller containers (maybe even 20 or 30L buckets with the float valve so that you can grow in Kratky, with no electricity or pumps, just a gravity fed float valve, and not having to use such large containers and no other growing medium. Thanks so much Hoochos!

[@inspiringenlightenment9827]

You know I was just thinking of that, long ago I remember seeing a gravity method that had a continuous recycling flow once primed, until evaporation level reached critical volume levels. I was thinking that method would be optimal?

[@BigfootExp]

Wow! This is one of the all-around Best made, and most informative videos I've seen on this subject. The time-lapse was especially amazing. Incredible work buddy! I think I will do something similar indoors with grow lights, dwarf indeterminate varieties, and smaller containers. I'm tired of fighting all the issues outside and there's no way I can have a proper greenhouse right now.

[@GCSD]

The root cam was an awesome new touch. Love this method and it's also great starter hydroponic technique for kids to learn. Thank you for all your videos!

[@sambagamb]

Hey Mitch, to hold the pot saucers to the plywood you could maybe grab a couple of bits of flat scrap wood and make ledges to slide the saucer into on three sides, then a removable ledge you could screw on and off when you want to move the saucer, so just one screw instead of a bunch. Maybe there's some cool quick-release idea for the removable ledge out there... I've learnt so much from this video, thankyou, hope that helps in some small way.

[@matthewstrydom6992]

Thanks for this man. Absolutely love your videos. Just started hydroponics and exploring the kratky method as in South Africa, with loadshedding, some methods are risky.

Probably this was the most valuable video on the kratky method I've seen so far. Thank you for the details. Specially on the topic on how to keep growing after the plant has consumed all the nutrients in the bucket. Would love to see how it goes after refilling the bucket once or twice.

[@freeman7788]

In hydroponics one can expect deficiencies of most of the essential nutrient elements, i.e., nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper. Silicon or sodium deficiencies might occasionally develop in some plant species.

[@qmoonwalker3847]

Thanks Hoocho! This looks like a great idea. Question: Did you keep the tomato plant suckers trimmed back? Were these indeterminate tomato plants?

[@montanateri6889]

INFINITE KRATKY! You are so awesome! I'm going to grow indeterminate tomatoes (cherry) inside my apt, and you are the only one who has ever answered the question "can I keep Kratky going forever?" I've been estimating that if I only let the water fall to a set level, then fil the tub up leaving a good amount of air roots still NOT in water, wouldn't it be fine? And you told me!! I'm so glad that not only are you my favorite channel for grow tips, YOU ARE ALSO PSYCHIC! 🥰 Hats off to you! I'll keep watch for the next part of this. Love your Channel Hoocho!! If you could be so kind, also mention if there are other veg plants that can be grown infinite.... like indeterminate tomatoes can.

[@jooooohn401]

I've always wondered how far you would want to let the water to fall before refilling, because if you wait too long you will have a lot of air roots being re-submerged, even if only refilling to halfway. You also have to figure out how often you need to dump the solution and refresh it rather than topping off, since the plants will pull certain nutrients out and if you're just topping off you will run into deficiency issues over time. Always a problem I run into when growing peppers in smaller kratky containers. FraleyMusic commented above with some details on the issues you can run into. I think if you can find a way to run a float valve to keep it continuously topped (since you're in an apt), that would make life easier as long as you remember to flush everything out here and there. For other plant ideas, peppers can grow for many years (I've kept the same jalapeno plants alive for 5ish years). You could try cucumbers/squashes/vining plants in kratky as well, look up Khang Starr's channel, he has a ton of kratky/hydro content as well. He is usually focused on peppers, but has done plenty of videos on melons/cucs/etc in hydr as well.

[@davehoover8214]

Thank you for your work. Love learning about this. My wife and I have a Kangen water machine and we can dial in how acidic or alkaloid we want our water. Have you ever tried tweaking the pH of your water or do certain plants prefer a certain pH? Thank you again?

[@backyardmedicine5819]

Hey Brother. awesome video! And thanks for the time-lapse. Maybe for the roots to spread out more, try top-feeding only in the beginning so the roots spread among the media and have the nutrient level just below the media, forcing the roots to spread within and soon they start growing out and down finding the rez. Just requires hand-feeding for a while or automating it with a pump

[@DURULUHAYAT]

The stories are important, though. For hobby gardeners like us, the soil is sacred because tomatoes grown from the ground are organic. Some elements must be added to the water in Torakless agriculture.

[@notallowed33]

Cool video! But what fertilizer do you use? Can these live without a pump keeping the water from stagnating or is a pump required? Thank you! I appreciate the info.

[@dorianmccarthy7602]

I was very curious to see you do an EC and pH test on the remaining nutrient in each of the buckets. I was wondering whether the water was being stripped out faster than the nutrient or vice versa. If the water was getting stripped out quicked (Toastey Queensland summer growing conditions) then maybe making up a lower strength solution to put in the buckets would be worth it instead of using the premixed IBC contents. food for thought (Pun intended).

[@katherinewinkler8847]

This is my question too.

[@amandadavis5367]

I'm pretty new to it all, but I have successfully added more solution when it seems to be low, but do not refill to ask the way, because it will suffocate the air roots. Also, I'm only going to refill a couple of times before rinsing and replacing the solution because I'm concerned about build up.

[@danielwebb1004]

I had come to the realization that for especially this SUMMER ACTING CAMP... totalling up the Cost of food was going to be approximately $7500. or more, since Food cost is STILL going up. I paid over $6.20 for a doz eggs... UNREAL... and $1.00 for ONE Onion... which used to cost me $0.35 cents... I can still Teach acting to my students and the can bring their own Snacks, Lunch and evening Dinner... but I can't do a Mystery Dinner Theatre without Dinner... "HELLO" LOL I want to incorporate FOOD for teaching to TEACH the Actor how to cook for themselves and how to ACT while Cooking (which isn't easy) because you're doing 2 ACTS at once... and cooking is an ACT all in it's own. I have entertained the thought of growing our own vegetables, but didn't want the hassle and cost of the Electricity etc... This video is so Helpful and I feel once again, I will not have to put my dream of helping kids, teens and adults on ACTING and How to Cook and NOW HOW TO GROW their own vegetables...

It's always exciting to watch something growing... something rewarding.

Wow, incredible video. Thanks

Thank you for adding a method for a low cost. I can not get all the gadgets and machines, or afford them. This allows me to start my own veggie garden indoors without costing me a fortune.

Really good video, the time lapses was great! Thanks for such a intense and nice work!!!!!!!!!! keep on sharing that we keep adding like to your work!!!!!!! 🤑

Thanks for the great, informative video, the photography was terrific. I have been considering doing Kratky indoors with smaller tomato, pepper, and cucumber plants under lights. Summertime outdoors brings squirrel & skunk, and they don't like hot peppers but nibble on everything else.

Very interesting idea with the pan to disperse the root system out. I may have to try that myself. Great idea
