Transplanting From Soil To Kratky Hydroponics

[@nicolemarie9875]

This is so ADD friendly, thank you!

😂 you’re welcome!

[@JanatCalifornia]

Thank you so much for this video! You just inspired me to try hydroponics I was always so intimidated by the huge towers

[@PepperGeek]

This is so strange - I am literally planning to start filming a soil to kratky project today! Won't be ready for a couple months but still funny timing. Great video.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

😂 I forgot what it was, but there was one day that you posted a video and I had a similar one scheduled for the next day! Either way, peppers are awesome and the more videos the better! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! I definitely enjoy watching your videos!

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

And another thing that I love, are the different perspectives different channels can bring to the same subject. With peppers.. there are so many different ways to do different things and it really is awesome to see the various ways people do things.

[@TheEthanRivera85]

Love the Kratky method! Personally I would have grown directly in the cubes to save time but as long as the plants healthy it doesn't really matter how they get in the cube.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I definitely had that thought at one point 😂. Next time I’m going to try that for sure. I love it too though, these plants have exploded already. It’s such an easy way to grow plants quickly and healthy.

This video rocks! I'm about to transfer my tomatoes and peppers from their seedling soil starts to leca - I understand that sometimes soil left on the roots can cause rot. Is this not the case?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

We wash our roots (but you can’t get it all) and we have never had an issue! Just make sure you leave a bit of space for air roots to form if you’re going full Kratky!

You’re welcome! You too!!

Cool video!

Hey thanks, I appreciate it!!

[@danwright5556]

When replacing the nutrients with fresh nutrients, do you fill it all the way to the cup or leave a little space between nutrients and cup?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Leave a little space! Those white fuzzy roots at the top are air roots, and you don’t want to drown those ones. Once my roots are taking up the container I normally fill it about halfway. It all depends on plant and container size, but it’s good practice to just make sure the roots near the base of the plant do not get submerged!

Where did you get your goat pepper seeds from?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Those ones are Bahamian Goat, but I ordered a starter plant last year and saved some seeds from it!

[@nunya5559]

Do you have to have the rock walls? Or can you just use the clay pebbles?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Clay pebbles work great!!

[@nunya5559]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead I’m going to have a pepper garden this year (18 different types) do you recommend just the gh flora series and the ph balancing as far as any additives go? Or do you recommend any other nutrients?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I normally add a small dose of cal mag in there as well, but it isn’t necessary!

[@nunya5559]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead one more question! It seems I have a fungal disease… I added some hydrogen peroxide to my formula. What else can I do?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Hello! I’m not too picky when it comes to fungicide! 4 teaspoons of baking soda per gallon is a good organic way. Make a spray and spray your plant! Or walk into any garden store and ask for a fungicide! I like to stay organic when I can but there are tons of organic options at most stores!

Hi! I have 2 questions. What is the size of each container/jar? (in ml or L) And 2nd, do you use different EC or TDS on the nutrient solution for each growth cicle? (seedlings, then leafy growing and then flowering). Thanks a lot!! Your videos are so interesting and useful.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Hey thanks! Each of these containers are roughly 3 liters. I think just under. The size doesn’t have to be the same, this will work in a lot of various sized containers. I use the general hydroponics flora series nutrients. It’s a 3 part nutrient solution and as your plants progress you change the amount of each one you add! As you need to change your mixture the instructions do a good job of telling you how much of each one to add!

[@ximenafernandezduran3132]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead thank you! I’ll try this method but with flowers and leafy greens. Greetings from Chile, have a great week!

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I’ve seen people have really good success especially with leafy greens! Good luck!

I wished you showed the results.
