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.
Mad respect for all the effort putting this video together keep going please 🙏 next video how to grow a small tree using a hydroponic system
Do you think this would also work with garlic whater?
@@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.
So isn't this just replicating store bought vegetables that are grown in greenhouses and have next to nothing nutrition?
Can confirm this works. Garlic oil also works
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!
Yes, I will improve my technique... thanks
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.
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!
Are you doing any pH adjustments? What EC do you start at?
@@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.
What do you use to connect your containers together?
@@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.
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.
finally u are helping those who do not have all the gadgets and machines to do what u do...thank you for helping the regular people to figure out how it is done..
A couple of gutters, a bit of hose, a tub, and a cheap pump would cost a lot less than those 4 barrels and that plywood
That’s assuming you would need to go out and buy these things. Chances are you have a container with a lid in your house already. Not so much spare gutter, hose, water pump
@@simplysuperior2505 the point here is that one can use anything...all input is appreciated and valid...few dollars or free is all good...at the end what is important is to try to grow food.
E4r
@@anatomicallycorrectmuppets8180those "barrels" are $5 a pop and that marine ply can be expensive but you can salvage it from somewhere possibly
That was one of the best creative uses of timelapse I've ever seen, really well done!
The editing, explanation, and conceptual design is really out of the box ❤ Thank you
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 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
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?
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

Thank you very much for all the effort that you have put into your video. So well explained, easy to follow and your Timelapse’s are sublime!
Love the channel and the direction and the diversity of content. Keep up the great work.
I must admit I have rewatched this multiple times because it is just so dang satisfying and reasonable.
Hearing you mention flow and seeing how happy you are right now makes me so happy given how hard things were around 5 months ago. I know not every day will be like this but it's good to see you're experiencing this happiness again. Thank you for doing another kratky! I don't have access to electricity outside so I can only do kratky so this is super helpful! I hope to do this with cucumbers!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I rewatch your videos until you put out a new one haha. I learn so much from your content and your passion is so inspiring. The fact that you are consistently considering different types of communities and their access is incredible. Keep on keeping on, Hooch! So happy to see you thriving once more!
Your knowledge took a long time to acquire, with a lot of trial and error. I sincerely thank you for your generosity in sharing your growing knowledge it's priceless to us all. It's good to see you looking better ❤
Hey Hoocho,
I've been following your channel for a while now and I really love the content. The vibe is great and it's a good learning experience.
I want to build a similar system, except with some small changes to facilitate a place on the windowsill and I want to put strawberries in there. Thank you very much for the explanation and the concept.
Off the charts man... you are OFF THE CHARTS!!! I've been researching over and over again, and I think you kind of shredded everyone else out there! Going to be using your experiments this next planting season!!!
Thank you for all the experiments, they contribute so much to the Hydroponic community. Love your work, thank you.
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.. I'm proud of you, and I don't even know your name 😅 Hoocho, I appreciate you!.
Woah. Mate.
I love this.
Thank-you.
@@Hoocho You're very welcome! Meant every word. Stay well. A big hello from Maryland, US.
Wow nick ..nicely stated .man's humanity to man ..
Great video as always really love how you break down your learnings from each build and the options or improvements from those learnings. When we travel to mars i'm not leaving without you.
That's so impressive!!
I started cherry tomatoes (gardeners delight) in kratky hydroponics recently. I got a pythium infection and I am treating this with hydrogen peroxide. It doesn't seem to go away and knowing fungi... it probably won't.
A few errors I made:
I germinated seeds in compost to start with, transplanted to a bigger pot (with compost) and transferred the seedlings to hydroponics from there. This entailed washing the roots and moving them into rockwool.
I think I got a fungal infection due to the plants not being used to growing in water. I see you start all your hydroponics in inert media, and not compost. I will try this next time.
The roots of my current kratky hydroponics cherry tomato seem to have stopped at the water line. They look like they have burned tips. I have assumed that my hydrogen peroxide treatment is a little harsh (1ml of a 12% solution per liter, per day).
I have cut this in half and will dose every second day to see what happens.
It's all about learning!
Great video and thanks for sharing.... youtube videos aren't easy. Made double difficult when you do timelapse!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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!
Awesome, as always - thanks Mitchell
Love your videos, so good for those of us starting out, love simplicity 👌💚.
Love these more approachable projects!
I like and appreciate your time lapse video footage. Very thorough explanation and instructions with helpful tips.
we have a small homestead in the usa. we've also struggled with rodents in the gardens with our cats and dogs we found a non toxic solution. we started out with a small tub with a hole the size of the rodents filled the bottom with corn muffin mix for a few weeks once they where comfortable with it and we had till fill it often. then we make a mix of corn muffin or corn bread mix to equal parts baking soda dry. and made sure there was a source of water near by. what it does when they eat it and drink water it causes gas rodents can not pass gas there for it kills them dogs and cats can pass gas so they are safe from the effects out side the annoyance of passing gas. rodents love corn so it draws them to it and covers the smell of the baking soda. wish you luck amazing videos thank you
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.
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.
I am so Happy to find this (your) video...
TODAY... I was going to Give up on a dream... because the High Cost of FOOD in the last year.
I was literally in Tears a few minutes ago... So heartbroken.
UNTIL I saw your video a few minutes ago.
BACKSTORY:
I am moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio...
Not just an Acting Studio but want to also have Mystery Dinner Theatre...
That has to have copious amounts of FOOD to feed not only Actors but our customers for the Mystery Dinner Theatre.
TODAY... 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...
I even want my own Chickens...
(Do you have a video on how to raise chickens?)
YOU and this Video are a God-Send...
Thank you and God Bless,
Judi Christopher
New Mexico (USA)
this video was so much more exciting than action movies for me.
It's always exciting to watch something growing... something rewarding.
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.
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.
Thanks Hoocho! This looks like a great idea. Question: Did you keep the tomato plant suckers trimmed back? Were these indeterminate tomato plants?
Super. All of it. The time lapse, the music, the information.
Love the time laps you made. Thank you for the time & effort you made in sharing this detailed info with us 😍 Subscribed!
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?
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
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.
Thank you from Oz, the land down under. Your time lapse feature is awe-inspiring and mesmerizing. Beats other hydrophonic channels. Thanks for sharing!
Have been doing hydroponics for years - tried several different methods… Have weeded them all out and now 100% kratky. Hands down the “easiest” way to go, for me…
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.
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).
it is a Dutch invent that are used now all over the world !
Really appreciate you and the effort into this video! Beautiful work!
I have a question. Do you re-fill the water/nutrient solution during the growing period or do you just let it go? I really want to try this but trying to figure out the logistics.
This is my question too.
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.
Get the Kratky paper. www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/hawaii/downloads/A_Suspended_Pot_Non-circulating_Hydroponic_method.pdf Kratky says do NOT refill.
I don't have a greenhouse, can I do this and grow tomatoes in my backyard ?
Yes, though how long you could do it for would depend on your growing zone. Not all year, perhaps, but during the growing season, sure thing.
I loved this video ,how well you explained the process and to see the plants growing is so cool. Thank you
This was exactly what I needed. I'm going to be doing tomatoes in big kratky on a cattle panel tunnel and I was trying to wrap my head around the size, etc. I've saved it for another watch! Thanks from a hydroponic newbie in the SE USA
I've had issues with Kratky having smaller yields than DWC. The powerless has its advantage, but should be noted it doesn't perform as well. Otherwise, it's a fantastic way to start for new home growers!
Do u think and airstone would help with this
i think ur doing it the wrong way. kratky should have visible air roots to thrive
23 minutes of Wisdom. Thank you mate.
I love the usage of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Thanks!
Just discovered this video. Thankyou this was beyond well done and informative
This is awesome and my wife and I are definitely going to try out this method this summer! Thank you for the great video and the great explanation!
This is wonderful. Excellent information explained clearly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Loved the folk/ rock ( shades of Jethro Tull) as the plants were growing and pulsing underwater! Really cool video ❤
The videography and music is amazing in the time-lapse, subbed.
Amazing... First, control your rodent problem with some trays of baking soda and cornmeal mix. It's not poisonous to the pets but is to rats and mice.... Second, I have a similar set up with the tubs. Except I have mine filled with compost and peat moss with a water revisor at the bottom 4 inches. They are all outside and grow good. I have watering set up on timers. Last year was the first year and I didn't have my feeding totally figured out. This year should be better. This gardening thing is totally a learning experience for me. Thanks for the video.
Your studio is amazing - I loved what you did to the ply! Very interesting video.
This is one of the better videos that I've seen on hydroponics thank you so much for doing it and it's with tomatoes which is perfect for me thank you so much
Great montage and music! Ty for the tips. I will give this a try this spring!
You have an interesting style of editing footage, too. I really enjoyed the timing and spacing of clips, you do a really nice job with the videos, dude!
Thanks for sharing. My son and I are going to start a Kratky reservoir with some lettuce tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You get peace of mind not by thinking about it or imagining it, but by quietening and relaxing the restless mind.
You make it seem so easy. I am thinking of trying this system this year. And going to have a go at growing fuchsias as well.
Wow! This was an absolutely great video. Thank you for sharing your experience and ideas.
Wow perfect timing. Was about to start kratky tomatoes today and this helped heaps
Woow! What an excellent lesson by an excellent teacher! You have made this appear easy. This has left me very optimistic and want to try it out right away. Thanks.
You gained a new sub from Texas, USA. Awesome video! Love the time lapse! 🤗💖🤗
Great video I’ve been thinking about doing hydroponics and you’ve answered loads of niggling questions I had. I will definitely subscribe to your channel as you describe techniques easily for the layman to understand, keep up the good work and thank you for taking the time to film.
I don't know if this has been said already...I would imagine so. But..I felt it so strongly, I have to say it. Okay, that insane time-lapse psychedelic tomato clip coupled with that trippy AF song, was pure art mate! Absolutely Brilliant! reminded me of an '80's INXS video mated with a Beetles LCD trip video. Well done you!!
Wanted to "like" this 100x. So cool!!
1:00 to 1:30. Mad respect
Awesome video, inspiring me to give this a go! The KGLW in the timelapses makes it EXTRA. Keep it up
Love this idea, I've been thinking about it for some time now, so thank you so much for sharing.
Oh my gosh dude! Those are the biggest tomato leaves I’ve ever seen! Good job my friend, channel rocks! Gratitude🙏
you done a very good job on this video... thank you for making this. well done.
oh man you even did the time lapse. thank you that was beautiful
Wow. Not sure how i got here but happy i did. Summer is coming and will definitely try this for my balcony tomatoes i do every year.
Thank you once again.I love hydroponics ics and you are wonderfully informative. I was looking for EXACTLY this.
12:20 damn thats my favorite song mate. I'm gonna see them coming weekend, I'm so excited
Thank you. Your video is exactly what I wanted to know about kratky tomatoes. Apartment dweller but I have grandparents who let me borrow their backyard and sunlight. 😊
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!!!!!!! 🤑
That is so cool to watch the plants grow, thanks!!!!
Great topic that I can put into use now. GREAT music!!
What a masterpiece!! Congratulations and thanks!!
Amazing. Thank you for putting time and effort and sharing with us.
Its a sub.
You put a smile upon my face! Beautiful idea!
Wow, stumbled upon this and it is great! This will be my first real year doing kartke. You got yourself a sub and I'm going go through your other videos! Keep it up!
This is my favorite methods so far
Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
I grew Kratky lettuce last season, successfully, for the first time last year. Grown tomatoes would be amazing as my tomatoes did nothing because of the poor growing conditions. This video is perfect timing for the next growing season. I will have to try this out.
The amazing part is watching the plants forcibly grow up during the night shots and then stop their growth during the daytime. Fascinating stuff!
The tease is finally over, and boy, was it worth it! Seriously, I've been watching your videos for months, and each time I saw the Kratky set up in the background, I was gnashing my teeth with impatience (lol). The roots on the pot with the root cam were way bigger than the others. Was it because there was extra oxygen entering through the spy hole? Suggestion - for future videos where you show the time-lapse, please consider some form of measurement in the background to help us judge the growth. Luv your work, Hooch!
I appreciate all the very detailed video!! Very very helpful!!
Thanks Hoocho. You are a legend
I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Good video.. Learn something new every time I watch you. Thank You
I grew tomatoes, peppers and eggplants outside, where there was no place to stop the critters, because they live there. BUT, they really don't like chilis: So, I grew jalapenos, and rubbed the juice and seeds every few days all over the pots (these were Earthbox pots, that automatically watered the plants, fertilize once a season, very nice), the cages, the cloth mulch around the plant. It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely helpful.
Really good video. Now that my growing season is over here in North America I’m about to set my hydroponic system back up
Fantastic video. Really enjoyed this one.
New to your channel, but your videos are AWESOME! Liked the idea of trying to get the roots to spread out...
