I wish I could remember but it was so long ago. My guess is 10 (since that's what I started with) but it will depend on how good you are at applying it as well as wind and weather. I do know I was able to get the best coverage with a quality spray paint (like Krylon, as you mentioned) versus a discount brand.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Mark! Thanks so much for subscribing and commenting. I'm in Cortez, Colorado! Small world. Because I'm growing mostly greens like lettuce, kale, bok chop, and microgreens, I haven't bothered with taking those measurements. I'm not growing any of these to flower. I've found greens and seedlings tend to do quite well with these lights. I did do an unscientific experiment between the barrina super brights and barrina full spectrum, which you can see here. I imagine if you were growing a more sensitive crop to flower, like MJ, then it might be worth it to check the measurements for blue and red spectrum. I messaged the company to see if they have any additional info so I'll let you know when I hear from them. ruclips.net/video/es9rU5Kc89A/видео.html

No, i have a garden I transplant them into.

Hi! Thanks so much for asking about my setup! I'll try to get a video up within the week showing these details and answering your questions. I do have 2 lights per shelf. I do have a website called MutinyRanch.com. I'm in the process of adding posts related to each video so I can include more specific details.

@@TalesFromtheMutiny Thank you.

These are food grade. 😊

I completely understand. Cats can be very picky. I think a sifting litter box would probably work better in that situation.

You're welcome!

Thanks for watching. I'm pretty sure the color variation is from a lack of nutrients in the Kratky system. I was so worried about trying to keep everything "equal" for the comparison that I failed to take into consideration the amount of growth in the Kratky tomatoes. They needed more since they were bigger. They're still doing great, but I have since increased their nutrients.

@@TalesFromtheMutiny aww makes sense!

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I'm so glad you found this useful. I like to try to keep things easy since that's how I learn best, too. Best of luck!!

That means so much to me! I'll look into those greenhouses...anything to increase productivity!

Glad it was helpful!

I love hearing that! I hope it's going well. =)

Yes, they sure do. I prefer to save my wide mouth jars for canning but they are totally acceptable for the kratky method.

Have fun!

My pleasure!

Back when I made this I added the nutrients after the seeds sprouted because I didn't want to risk burning them or wasting nutrients if they didn't sprout. Some people sprout their seeds on paper towels first and then add the sprouts to jars later. I made an updated video and now add the nutrients at the same time as I do the seeds.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. I really appreciate your videos!

That's so smart!!! Thanks for the idea. ❤

Glad it was helpful!

You're so welcome!! Let me know how it turns out. ❤️❤️

I definitely go back and forth about using plastic. These plastic shoe boxes are food-grade and the growth cycle is pretty short so I consider that. I'd say they spend less time in these containers than most seedlings do in seed trays. But there is certainly nothing wrong with sticking with mason jars. I'm always hopeful more plastic free solutions will become available and affordable. 💕

Thanks so much for the reply! I agree that the plants are in there for a relatively short period of time. Had no idea those were food grade plastic either, I may try a shoebox or two and some mason jars both!

You're so welcome!! I have similar issues here. Too cold in winter and too hot in summer. The weather can be so unpredictable too. Snow in early June and over 100°F by the end of June.

You are so welcome!

I used to make sourdough in my convection oven in the RV too. It never got as nice of a crust as I can get now but it was still good. I actually use an Oster countertop oven for my sourdough classes. I bake a loaf during class. It only gets to 450° and has French doors with a noticeable gap but it really does a great job. I do make sure my Dutch oven is preheated extra long to help retain heat better.

I've been thinking that I need that Dutch oven. I had the equivalent in my sticks and bricks, but what I had is too big for the 'toaster' air fryer convection oven which gets to 400. The rig's convection oven gets to 450, but doesn't maintain heat well. Husband thinks a DO would be too heavy, but I think it will be just fine in our (smallish) DP motor coach. Thank you for your expertise! It helps me make that push for decision. @@TalesFromtheMutiny

It is possible to grow tomatoes this way but know that they take much longer to reach maturity...like several months. Tomatoes are water and nutrient hungry so it would be nearly impossible to fill a reservoir once and not have to fill it again. I've grown one tomato plant to maturity (I got tomatoes) but was having to fill up the reservoir about every other day. I grew mine with a one-gallon reservoir. The plant will also get just as large indoors as it would outdoors. So it needs a lot of space. So yes, it's possible but it's a bit trickier.

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Best of luck!

It adds a bit of firm texture so you might try a different kind of flour instead. Even taking some rice and turn into flour in your blender.

You can find one here along with some great information... ponicslife.com/hydroponic-charts-for-fruits-and-vegetables-ph-tds-ec-cf-ppm/

You are so welcome!

I use Texas Tomato Food.

Thank you

My kitchen is pretty cold in the winter...probably 60°F if not colder. So it's a slow proof on the counter.

I did grow a cherry tomato inside but it required a lot of extra care. Those veggies get rather large and it's hard to find a container large enough to hold all the water it needs. I used a gallon and a half container for the tomato plant and still ended up having to add water almost daily once it was full size. They also need space to spread, and extra nutrients, and some need to be pollinated by hand (if growing indoors without pollinators). There are several people who have videos of outdoor Kratky systems growing tomatoes and squash. I don't have enough room indoors.
