#aptgarden — Public Fediverse posts

One of the good things about living in the MidRed... A pal was out shooting #duck tonight. He stopped by my apt with some very fresh duck breasts. Shot at 630pm..so very fresh. From my indoor #hydroponic garden I picked some #basil, radish greens, radishes, and from the pantry some tiny oranges....air fried the duck with salt, Szechuan pepper corns, soy and ginger glaze...and in 20 mins ... #aptgarden #kratkyfood

These #hydroponic #peppers better git to growing, I'm using a #kratky setup of a hoocho bucket of cococoir and cotton wick on top a 5 gal bucket of water and nutrients...but the level is getting low now the fruiting is on.

I could add back in maybe 1 gal of mix to keep it fruiting, but I really want to see how #SetAndForget I can get this.

Also adding back into a #kratky setup is a dance, too much and you drown the air roots.

And that is the new from #aptgarden for today. #lifefindsaway

The window gets some new #basil from seed as the old basil and rosemary keep going.

#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.

#aptgarden update. Some amount of reorganizing/consolidation.

#Hoocho buckets on a metal pipe frame. Sealed Hoocho buckets under each for water/nutrients. The water wicks up via cotton rope/ the coco coir medium

5 gal bucket, 4 gal water jug w/Hoocho buckets on top . Easy to maintain and great for longer term grows .

The #masonjar #kratky vessels keep going. They are some of the easiest , long lasting, low maintenance methods for short /mid term herbs/greens.

Not shown, sprouting trays

@ridetheory ...festive seasons greetings from your seedlings. #aptgarden #kratky

#aptgarden update

Pumpkin seeds abound. They are starting to wander. The plan is to train them up and around the shelving unit behind them.

A Hooch bucket full of basil. From seed to sauce pan all in the same container, thinning in stages and letting the big leaves to more room

The 5 gal tomato bucket with an old AeroCloneArmy light is still spreading up and out. Fruits soon.

All #kratky all the time.

@ridetheory a week or so of growth.

#aptgarden #kratky #hydroponics

@ridetheory both seeds germinated. So it begins #aptgarden #aptpumpkin

Updates from the #aptgarden

Testing out a 4 gallon water container with a hoocho bucket on top. Easy setup easy grow cycle. Needs wrapping

Kratky in a tinted beer growler. The roots show up nice .

3 Hoocho buckets in various stages of growth, trying out full life cycle in the same container.

5 gallon bucket with grow light from ex Aeroclone box. Two plants thriving.

More as it happens

Dr #kratky has dropped another in a long line of great videos. Every vid gives me a new idea or bit of info on #hydroponics in general and how to make it work in my #aptgarden .

Consider the drip tube float valve.
https://youtu.be/ocWDuu2RAXo?feature=shared

And so begins a new phase of #aptgarden as #hoocho #hydroponic buckets are finally available in the StatesOfUnited .
Why this form factor? I love my mason jars, they will continue, but top ups in an apt get messy. Watching #Hoocho design, test, rebuild, retest, and tweek use cases has primed my idea for a more contained easily topped up apartment grow system.
While I intend to keep it #kratky I will be using different methods based on the spaces used.
Now to wait for delivery 🚚l

Thanks to @ShaulaEvans and @VickiWoodward for the idea for this. Glass mason jar, silicone mesh for net cup, wicking string...add a covering, grow medium ( I like coco coir), water, nutrients, and seeds. All the base materials are reusable.

Folding the mesh without cuts is still something that needs work as the lid needs a bit of "nudges". Think origami.

(Old net cup on the mesh square for scale)

Edit...added finished jar with tomato sprout 🌱

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.
