Kratky Hydroponic Culantro

[@HCOGGAN]

I'm so glad someone else knows what culantro is, people think I'm mispronouncing cilantro

[@YovanniQuevedo]

In Cuba we call it cilantro

[@cubanmama4564]

I have been growing five culantro plants under LED lights (Kratky method). I germinated them on heating mats. They are fairly big now and tried to send up flower shoots which I clipped. I am harvesting all but one and dehydrating the leaves. I plan to repeat this process in the spring. It worked for me.

[@Sultamicillyn]

Hi! Thank you so much for this! Culantro sadly cannot be found in the market where I'm from, so the only way is to plant them myself. I stay in a small apartment and wondered if I can grow them hydroponically. Your video gives me so much hope!

[@nereidapr1]

I love cuantro. I'm making a big canister of culantro and it's cousin recao but the ones that grew are all giving out seeds. I live in Puerto Rico and i decided to grow them because we can save money since we use them everyday. You can also check them in the store and see which ones that has a piece of stem where the roots grow. Get 2 plastic cups. Cup 1-you make a few holes, fill it up with dirt, plant it and add a little bit of water. cup-2 you fill it with a bit of water so it doesn't dry up. When root comes out you can plant it or live it there until it time to replant it. This is how I started my canister. Awesome video.

Congrats brother. I’ve tried multiple different Culantro seeds from different sources. Both soil and kratky and have had 0 success. Congrats brother. Great video.

[@cvilla5668]

My favorite herb!! Had no luck with any seeds I bought so bought 2 live plants. They are alive but have not takennnoff.

[@CerulianSins]

Culantro grows all over the place back home Its warm all year round so you find it there all the time and we love it. and yes the reason it takes longer to germinate is that it likes it to be nice and warm.

[@kaloutiesingh8061]

We in the country of TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO call it SHADOW BENI it is USE almost all foods.we season meats sauces pepper sauce in mango chow and other fruits.Thank you for sharing i am going to do it YOUR way.🤗👍❤

[@tumbleweeddenise]

Hey Kang. Your biggest fan here. I have grown some beautiful pepper plants from seed following your hydroponic videos. The plants are very lush and beautifully green. I’ve also started squash, cucumbers, and pumpkin. They started growing huge flowers just by leaving them in my window. I was unsure about pollination of the flowers so I took them out to my porch to see if the bees would come to pollinate. I live in a warm climate and we have bees test round. I noticed that one of the pumpkin plants has a small pumpkin growing on it. I was so excited. But I’m just curious to know about the pollination of the flowers. When they are left indoors how are they pollinated.? Thanks again for all your videos you have helped me so much to improve my gardening skills and get into hydroponics.

[@KhangStarr]

For peppers, you can simply shake the plants, they will pollinate themselves. Most self pollinators are this way. Check to see if your pumpkins are the same. IF they need to be pollinated, just rub the flower, the pollen part onto another flower. There are many videos on KZbin that can show you that.

THANK YOU STARTING TO GROW MINES USING MY AREOGARDEN I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS BUT LOVE THIS HERB TO COOK MY PUERTORICAN FOOD

[@rodsofgod6863]

Culantro.. it's a invasive weed in my country but it surely adds a delicious taste to soups.

[@varhouston]

Thank you for the video. I'm going to try growing it. I love culantro!

[@mariasplants]

I use it every day, love it 😍gives a lot flavour to your food

[@dsperbs]

Hi Khang, I'm a big fan and that was super informative! I was wondering if you had advice for growing not from seed but instead from a bunch (e.g. stem and leaves). Is there a way to do that hydroponically? Thanks so much!

[@rhonanoriega821]

Yes...that would be very welcome

[@shelleycornell7282]

You're so creative. I so appreciate that.

[@Phoenix38m]

Khang i love your videos and information...wondering if youve ever tried kratky to grow a carrot...or maybe a daikon.. .that bottle looks tall enough

[@bobbiwest6625]

Im wondering if the culantro might have grown faster with a higher npk ratio. Like the kratky nutrients. Im trying to germinate culantro now. But i guess will be a while before germination.lol. take care.your videos are great and informative. Helps alot. Going to try a couple kratky. Take care.

[@anthonytran9191]

Thx for the vid.. I'm waiting to get the chance to grow these. Can't wait to start.

[@cubanmama4564]

I am growing them right now. They grow very slowly.

[@bellablessedfavored2415]

It's all over my garden and it's a must in our dishes I beluze central america

[@moltabocca]

Can we use our Aerogarden to germinate or grow culantro instead? Will it work? Thanks.

[@saraswatikuwalekar1573]

How many times you water these saplings to grow this much from seeds

[@oneofnumbers]

Thank you for making these videos, I have a question about Kratky, and a question about grafting. I've been trying to create my own franken pepper with Black Jalapeno, Chiltepin, Pepperoncini and whatever other unique pepper I can add. I read somewhere that one of the most harty base plants are your standard Jalapenos. • What would you recommend as the best base plant to support multiple grafts? My second question is, I've attempted to grow standard Jalapeno plants in Kratky setups, everything goes fine until I transplant them into my 2.5 ga bucket. Each time (3 times so far) the plant stagnates and dies. After autopsy, I notice a distinct odor of rot, but I'm following your, Jeb, and Dr. Bernard Kratky's model to the best of my ability. I've even attempted an air stone on the last time, and the exact same thing happened. I always dechlorinate, set my PH to 5.5-6.2, set my TDS to about 500-800 (low for seedlings) using General Hydroponics - Maxigrow 10-5-14 nutrients. I ensure each seedling is about 8cm tall when I move it from the mason jar to the bucket. • Do you have any advice for me? PS: I spoke to a friend and they said adding a beneficial bacteria (or established fish tank water) might prevent this, but they don't have any experience with Kratky.

[@MatthesGardens]

My culatro seeds took 3-4 weeks to germinate as well. Very slow growing!

[@brian48williams]

Did you water the Rockwool any more before it sprouted? Thank you so much for this bideo there is so little info on culantro. Oh and I subbed.

[@foreigntheory]

Been wanting to grow ngo gai! great video bro

[@foreigntheory]

Where did you buy the seeds from?

[@jennifereverett6298]

Thank you for the video! Is the flavor very similar to cilantro or only a little like it?

[@iwannaddr2afi]

Very similar flavor imo. If eaten raw it's a little more potent than normal cilantro. The texture is like a thick leaf lettuce or even tougher. Very sturdy. Love this herb! 💚

[@rhonanoriega821]

I love culantro....can I grow from store bought cuttings?

[@judyvg2000]

Unfortunately not.

[@dvaone11]

Hi, I know the video its old, but I will like to know where I can get the seeds if its possible please

[@ryanpopcorn2405]

Hey bro, I've been following your videos for a couple years now, awesome stuff! Do you have a way to do this with mint plants?

[@czm0307]

Also at Puerto Rican spots as recao.

[@PatoniSinsi]

They are also called Saw Tooth Herb.

[@saraswatikuwalekar1573]

Have you again added nutrients in first 3 weeks?

[@ravimahase2110]

Where i live its known as bandanyar or shadow benny✌

[@MikeJohnson-fu3fj]

Preferably chadon beni

[@khmericankitchenseeds8776]

I'm a southeast Asian and I'm deep rooted when it comes to food. So yes, most of us Asian know this herb but most of them are not aware of its botanical name.

[@YovanniQuevedo]

Eryngium foedidum

[@BushImports]

Have you ever tried growing almond or pistachio or olive trees? I think that would be cool.

[@azucarlatina52]

I am afraid to add the dyno grow cause it has a cancer warning on the bottle.

[@DerickPitcher]

Culantro has the same flavor as Cilantro but Culantro flavor is stronger. If you can't find Culantro you can just use twice as much Cilantro. Beware, if you use twice as much your recipe may take on a green color. Oh, as you're growing Culantro, there will be a stalk growing in the middle of the plant. This is where the seeds grow from. Cut it off because the plant will give preference to the stalk and leaf growth will suffer. Tip: have one plant with stalk growth to get more seeds and the others without the stalks,

[@a.m.rootedinbuffalo331]

Awesome video khang

[@DANIEL-ls5ku]

Hi Khang, whenever you talk about temp.(or measurements) can you say it in Metrics (Celcius, etc.) as well so for us the rest of the world can understand? Btw, you create good contents for youtube!

[@KhangStarr]

I will keep that in mind in future videos. I live in U.S and always forget to mention Celsius.

[@AntaraTabassum]

Where did you find the culantro seed? Please let me know

[@john63ny]

omg I can never get them germinated. I thought u r going to grow them through cuttings. Can this b done?

[@KhangStarr]

These are leafy herb, so I don't think cuttings will work. For seeds, they need really warm temperature since they are tropical plants.

[@rhonanoriega821]

@@KhangStarr I am so disappointed....can you do an experiment ....I love culantro....please try...please

[@CerulianSins]

Cinnamon prevents algae at least it has when ive tried this method.

[@trangson998]

Vietnamese Name for culantro is NGO GAI🥰

[@axelbruce1926]

How do you pronounce that?

[@Fonseeker]

@Khangstarr what's the best PPM for these, I have been using around 1000ppm but they grow very slowly. Indoor grow around 75 deg.

[@KhangStarr]

I don't really know exactly. After growing more of these, I found that they do start very slow. Once they get to a certain stage, probably after a month or so, they will grow much faster.

[@Da1dmoney]

is dyno-gro better then the general hydroponics 3 part you used to use?

[@antsusa215]

Da1dmoney dyna-gro contains almost all macro and micro nutrients so yes

[@studentdeljuego]

I have some in pots but theyve got no flavor dont know why.

[@mariasplants]

How did you get the seeds?

[@KhangStarr]

Got it from a friend. I think he sells them, try his page here plus.google.com/u/0/+JesusRosarioArt

Hi khan where can I get culantro seed

You can buy culantro seed at Ebay .com

[@dlomack9794]

How many teaspoons of Ph down did you have to use to balance your ph. I used 21 teaspoons and my ph went from 9.24 to 7.78. Does that sound about right or is my Digital ph meter trash. Please help.. Thanks

[@YovanniQuevedo]

I want culantro😭. Please send me some seeds. I buy by internet and was fake seeds.

[@dustintravis8791]

Culantro hates me. I've had several in soil and their growth is always so slow, and I'm in Florida so we get enough sun.

[@KhangStarr]

If you give them some slight afternoon shade, they will do better.

[@dustintravis8791]

okay, I'll give that a try. It also could be my soil's pH, which I'll be honest I have no idea what it's currently at; that's why I picked up a pH meter today. :)

[@benthere8051]

That is Vietnamese Ngo Gai

[@KhangStarr]

Yes, it is.

[@benthere8051]

The Vietnamese eat that in their beef noodle soup (pho) It grows wild in my back yard in the full shade areas now. It likes a shaded moist soil in my area that doesn't dry out (Dallas)

[@YovanniQuevedo]

For me means the flavour Mammy food.

Isnt this just perennial cilantro?

[@KhangStarr]

They are perennial if you live in the tropics.

[@ferkelandstier9406]

Thanks for the video. Your videos are thumbs up. BTW, It's pronounced Si-Lan-Tro (Cilantro).

[@OneHotTrini]

No it’s not that’s a different herb. This is cUlantro. It’s used in Asian Caribbean and Hispanic dishes.

[@remka2000]

pakuchi, or coriander. Nobody execept americans call this cilantro.
