#aptgarden update....simplify redux

After years of playing with #hydroponics the lesson I have learned is ..simplify.

5 gal buckets, water, nutrients, container for substrate, cotton rope for wicking , seed, lights....done
l
All the #Aerogarden clones and pricey lights....for my scale and need...bye bye.

For my windows it's a scaled down version with #masonjars and net cups instead.
The results over the years are my proof. Simpler makes better.

As always, #kratky for the win.

Two more Aeros recycled. The first for early growth and tray growing. The other for one or two bigger grows. The light on the second swivels so when the plants outgrows the light they can at least get side or bottom lightning.

A little Sunday #aptgarden project fun with a side of clickbaity thumbnail.

Tl/dr A 2 min video about turning an unused #Aerogarden Clone into a #Kratky growing solution.

And yes there are many questionable statements crammed into that 2 minutes...feel free to bring them up.

5/18 Aerogarden update

1/2

My AeroGarden has been growing for about 2 months now, doing well after a few hiccups.

The Romaine lettuce pods are INSANE! They're soooooo full and delicious. They take a lot of water now they they're up and running but it's worth it to not have to throw away greens every time I have to buy them.

There's only 1 plug of bok choy doing well, probably won't get again. But some leaves are bigger than my hand!

And so it grows...The new grow shelf is now setup round to the side of the tent of grow. Two AeroCloneTroopers on top with the other shelves lit for starts, sprouts, and low growing plants. The bottom shelf houses a nice wood box that now holds most of the various bits and bobs(all praises) needed for growing.

Tonight's seed starts...Stevia.
I'm trying out some new silicone ice cube trays with holes in the bottom to tease thru the cotton wool balls. This then sits in a tray of water and a humidity dome on top for the first couple of days.

When these come up 1/2 will go to a AeroClone & 1/2 to a Kratky setup

I got my hopes up for these, I love stevia but not the stuff in stores.

Quick update...
Videos on hold till I'm able to work up a better workflow.
Siphon jar testing sporadic but showing interesting results.
Lots of chois, basil going strong, tomato starts moving into larger containers, sprouts rotation continues, window onions continue as well, various herbs move in and out.
Thankfully I hit a workflow that can deal with work and family schedules

This week's video is about my first impressions of the Kratky Method. Who is BA Kratky and why do I like his method of growing so much?

Looking for ideas for next week. Post em up if you have any thoughts.

Thanks for watching.

This week's video is about Space. Not so much the final frontier but the constraint all my growing will have to deal with. Also a quick look around the lab. Next week we leave the introduction zone and dive into Kratky and his method, why it is a perfect fit for me and how it differs from the aerogarden clone army

This week's video is about Introductions. In which we learn the who, what, and why. We also learn to not destructively ruin our old posts....sorry about that.

Last ditch attempt to try to revive/salvage the struggling #ferns #plants: a winter boots tray as a "pebbles tray" but without the pebbles, only water that would evaporate to provide some marginal amount of humidity. And an #Aerogarden #growlight so that they might get through the dark gray season. I have no idea if this might work, but it's probably better than overwatering the soil…

Kicking up my Apartments Means of Production....diy #Kratky and #aerogarden oobe. Now we wait for the first pruning. #hydroponics #hoocho #moremint

Yippee! Finally got around to sowing my 6-pod #Aerogarden #hydroponic #IndoorGarden. Used just three slots for #SaladGreens seeds but plan to add a couple of #herbs next feeding cycle.

#TIP: Inset your garden in a cardboard box to dim the glow of the fairly bright #GrowLights. #Hydroponics #HydroponicGardening

Dang. Being me today is just glorious. Besides meeting some fantastic folks here, I actually got in a #dog walk and made a serious dent in cleaning my filthy house, which included a deep clean of my #Aerogarden and #iDoo #hydroponic #gardens. Planting some stuff tomorrow. Yay #IndoorGardening! (Spacing)

Now sitting out with my #DogsOfMastodon having a drink and surveying the lay of the land in barely short-sleeve #weather. #LifeIsGood. Today, anyway.

@jardinvoltaire under grow lights. I have an #idoo 12-pod and an #aerogarden . Have you tried #hydrponics yet?
