Yes, and it went very slowly for hydro. It was very picky on nutrients, and even with a 4 litre jar, it got rootbound before it fully flowered. I took it out of the jar and my dad finished it on a constant drip system in a 5g bucket.

Kratkey is a joke. It's a gimmick. From before people were smart enough to add an air stone.

Depends on the plant. We haven't had to purchase lettuce in a couple months.

I've been harvesting off alk these and had 4 bolt which I removed. They were Black Seed Simpson's 2 1/2' tall and they provided several pounds of leaves.

Broccoli and brussels sprouts are killing it but I will move these to buckets with an air stone as they are heavy producers.

8 cherry tomato plants, 4 100 reds and 4 yellow pear, both full of flowers and several with fruit

These are on a shelf 2' below the next shelf and have grown a foot and a half above the upper shelf as you can see in the first lettuce pic I posted. It's also winter here. I assume in spring and summer I won't have to plant any in soil. Big tomato plants will get DWC.

For smaller plants it works like a dream but I tend the plants, add/change nute water as needed and since I'm using coco in the basket I like to water them weekly just enough to wet the medium. Seems to be working, at least with these species.

I'll give weed a try again soon. Had mice/rats eat all my seedlings a few months ago so took a break from planting more until I could control the little bastards which I have done with electronic device's. Maybe the end of this month I'll start up again.

For weed I prefer growing in coco.

But will try some Kratky and DWC this year just for fun.
