You are amazing. Your video production skills, your music choice, your commentary, your personality, your teaching ability... you've got it all, sir, and I _love_ it! Thank you.
But, quick question to anybody who can answer, if I try this method of plant growing, should I boil the water first to sterilize it and then wait for it to be room temp or is that a bad idea?
This is the best explanation I have found, for the deep-water and kratky hydroponic methods, especially because of the drawings done in the video. Many thanks for making this video!
There's something about his voice that keeps me on edge. I'm now in a state that I'm, constantly wondering when he's going to crack a horrible, taboo joke. Something that will make my skin curl as I double over laughing. But the suspense is far more entertaining.
Jeb Gardener My first video, and I have to say (besides your amazing taste in music) I've never seen gardening done in such a cool way. The only thing I really know about it is that you shove some weird things in the ground and stuff happens later. You do a pretty good job at keeping me interested.
Jeb's videos are informative and entertaining. Normally, I'm not in favor of videos like this with background music - but the music works well in Jeb's vids. The choice of music fits quite well and is not distracting. Good job Jeb!
I'm currently experimenting with the Kratky method. I just uploaded a short vid using a basic form of Kratky by just using a water bottle to start off some Cherry Tomatoes. I love you vids Jeb. A lot more effort than mine, keep it up
One of most simple to understand illustrations of the Kratky method of non-circulating hydroponics. Very easy to use and works well with dozens of common vegetable plants. Nice job!
Your videos make me smile. I only started gardening this year so I have been online looking for examples and tips. I just happened to come onto your channel when researching hydroponics. Keep up the great content 👍
Jeb Gardener jeb I have an important question what about standing water will it cause unwanted bacteria to form for kratky method....or by topping off water does it fight that?
**wipes tear** I love how wonderfully batshit crazy your videos are, i got so much free information out of this that i feel like like clapping at the end.
The best method after watching 100th videos about gardening,this is the best way to start,good,cheap and get good results I'm gonna try it thanks for the help.
How does this method compare with soil as far as growth rates and nutritional value are concerned? Do you never need to add more water, or do you have to add just the right amount at the start for transpiration to not remove all the water in the tub? How much energy is wasted by the plant having to grow such long roots and pull that water up a considerable height?
we grow kratky every winter using plastic shoe boxes and varied hydro nutes that we test out. Its simple easy and effective growing technique and easier to control than hydro with air. Keep the containers cool and out of the sun you can easily bake them in a greenhouse. Winter growing of Italian Large Leaf basil is how I use it. And we make tons of pesto with it and use the leaves fresh. Purple basils do really well too. Nice lookin lettuces my lettuces were taking too long and basil is more flavorful, used in a lot of my frozen foods from the garden :) harder herbs dont grow well Kratky. Using RO water is important too. Hope that helps someone in the universe.
tap water has chloromine flouride chlorine etc and rain water has chemtrails lol and collecting it is annoying. everyone should be only drinking and bathing in RO too if you ask me
Rainwater is a bit better than tap water, but keep in mind most of the things in tap water to keep it free of organisms like chlorine and fluoride. But they are in ridiculously small amounts, as well as normal rivers contain sodium fluoride and ocean water is high in it. It isn't a problem for plants at all, they don't magically accumulate it either. Seaweed is one of the most healthy plants. As far as chlorine, that is in tap water to try to reduce micro organisms in it. Believe it or not, but the human body requires chlorine in trace amounts. The percentage in tap water is usually 3 parts per million, meaning that in 1 million milliliters you would have 3 milliliters of chlorine. This means that for Americans you would have six 44 gallon drums of water, and the amount of chlorine in that amount of water would be not even 1 teaspoon of it. Also chlorine doesn't stay around for very long, if you leave someones pool and don't keep adding chlorine then algae will grow in it. Watering plants with tap water will not hurt them, you will not have magical chlorine sitting in the plants leaves, chlorine decays fast. So don't listen to conspiracy idiots like the vegan guy you are replying to, he isn't educated and just looks at stupid stuff like Alex Jones.
I couldn't find any information on 1. What to add to the water in order to supply the plant with Nitrogen Phosphorus and (K)otassium. What do I ask for at my local hydroponics shop? 2. Where do I get Rock Wool? 3. How much does the light cost?
Rosemary Im collecting everything I need from Amazon. Watch his other videos he has a chart of the amounts of each nutrient he uses, as you watch more of his videos youll notice its pretty much the same for everything he grows.
You have a great handwriting and really tidy drawing. Also your videos are great, I've been watching them for a couple of days now. I have no interest whatsoever in gardening but you're slowly making it flower up. Keep up the good job!
So I am only growing some herbs in normal soil pots with them right now but they are doing pretty well! These cheapo ones are pretty bright and I'm using two of them to grow maybe 20 small plants. Make sure you get the right socket size tho, I had to get adapters haha. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GLAKYJY
just had to let you know that out of the hundreds of videos i've watched on the kratky method yours was the effing best thank you again for such a visually straight forward and simple explanation. First time i've ever commented on youtube also, so yea another feather for your cap my good sir!!
this doesn't make sense to me... so what you just let the res get low on water and the plants get O2 from the air? wouldn't they dry out? how do you keep the interior moist enough? wouldn't your res get contaminated from organisms that prefer oxygen low environments? wouldn't your plants have used up the nutes a long time ago and/or the EC gone up enough to require the res be changed? this goes against everything I've learned of DWC. It was an entertaining video but it doesn't really explain much, just "this works" in a calm voice with music in the background....
Yes the suspended roots collect air. They don't dry out because it is a plastic tote with a lid on top so the humidity is high. It might get contaminated, but apparently not enough to harm the plants. The EC goes up slightly but that usually works out because the plants are larger at that point. Kratky isn't better or worse than DWC it's just an alternative with it's own strengths and weaknesses. The funny thing is regardless of what we think the plants just keep growing and the finished product is the proof. Try it out and let us know how it worked for you!
Exactly. It may "Work", but not anywhere near optimal. They are growing some pretty forgiving crops there, and not on a large scale. Everything you've learned about hydro, and DWC is still true. PH, EC and Disolved O2 can all be maximized to produce more healthy robust growth. Large plants would empty that reservoir in a matter of a day, or two. Healthy roots are paramount to healthy growth. Diseased reservoirs are just that- diseased reservoirs. It's like feeding a person nothing but spam for breakfast lunch and dinner. Yeah, they'll live, I guess. Short lifecycle plants made for rapid consumption. Personally, I want my plants to be Healthy. I take pleasure and pride in giving them the care they need while truly understanding the entire process. Everyone wants to put Their name on something. If it works, let it ride. It's a totally neglectful way to grow a plant. I understand they appeals to people looking to dip a toe into a hydro type of growing, but a lot of bad habits would be revealed when they went head first. May as well just put it into dirt. Cool none the less.
I know this debate is between experts and I don't know nothing about this but I do love it and would like to try. Is there anyone of you around New York or surrounding areas willing to give some practical training? I'll pay of course.
I've used this about 7 years ago, so "kratky method" is a bunch of BS. It's just a lazy way to do hydro. The thing is that in small containers the air stone will create mist so the roots will stay moist even if the container is almost empty. Small and short plants like lettuce probably don't get bothered by EC/nute changes and will just take what they need until critical levels. Although it is probably unhealthy to eat these vegetables as they most likely intake all the salt and heavy metals depending on the nutes (most nutes will contain heavy metals). Without flushing the plants are keeping all the bad stuff in these but people are stupid.
So, I remember learning in school that plants take in CO2 and then let off O2. This video says they take in O2 through their roots. Very puzzling. But a great video!
Well you have to set the grow up. Once it is going, if your reservoir is large enough you can return at the end to collect the harvest. Otherwise you have to add some water or nutrient solution if the plant isn't mature yet.
Best also to use "Seedlings" over seeds that way roots hit the water right away and can start the process. You should also "seal" the lid or top so vapor does not come out but it is ok just makes the unit more efficient.
I've got inspired by your method of presentation and how cool Kratky is. Growing tomatoes and sharing their progress online. Hopefully i can harvest some good tomatoes soon. Cheers from Philippines 😁.
Oh my word, LOVED you video. Best short video I've seen yet (and I've watched A TON). Loved your editing, music and humor. Kept it entertaining while informative. Make more! Well done sir...
Hi from the UK, Tikki O sent me over to learn more about the Kratky method, I have to congratulate you on a very informative, entertaining video. I'm going to spend the winter learning as much as I can on this method then start a set up in the spring as I have to grow outdoors or my wife will leave me lol Thanks very much for making this video and sharing it. I subbed to learn more from the master. All the best Steve
Your videos have been very helpful. I walked into a hydroponics store last week and said I wanted to grow 6 heads of lettuce in my office, and asked them to put together a nutrient package for me. After 30 minutes of waiting, they gave me a very nicely printed sheet of nutrient mixtures to use per week. And it would only cost $100! Just for the nutrient solution -- no net cups, no rockwool, etc. So... about $16 per head of lettuce. WTF?
Very educational/informative. Was trying to figure out the Kratky method from someone who could explain it very simply for the sake of structuring (without the chemistry, which I kind of understand, i think). Thanks!
wow - thanks... I am now gonna do Kratky salad. I didn't before because I was thinking that I needed to make an Arduino water level device, but this is SO MUCH EASIER, damn it!!
I'm in desperate need of a new hobby and this is definitely something I could get into to, Ive already ordered everything I need to start my own garden haha
Another awesome video, i think i am going to try this method this year as i have close to 100 3 gallon icecream pails. I normally use them outside for peppers and tomatoes.
You are amazing. Your video production skills, your music choice, your commentary, your personality, your teaching ability... you've got it all, sir, and I _love_ it! Thank you.
I feel sufficiently educated.
But, quick question to anybody who can answer, if I try this method of plant growing, should I boil the water first to sterilize it and then wait for it to be room temp or is that a bad idea?
Rani Emira
Use lake/rain water.
use britta filter. depending on your areas tap ph and other levels this works fine.
@@kesitheguesser716 Probably just normal tap water, depending on where you live.
Jeb gardener
That was delightfully entertaining and educational.
Exactly!
i know what plants need. they need electrolytes.
seriously, though, cool vid. very informative.
Every animal requires electrolytes. The video is nice because it shows how Kratky is more simple and requires less equipment.
being that i can talk to plants, i attest the the veracity of this comment
I could go for a Starbucks!
It's what plants crave!
I'm Not Sure...
This is the best explanation I have found, for the deep-water and kratky hydroponic methods, especially because of the drawings done in the video.
Many thanks for making this video!
thanks lee ann
I like your drawing style with commentaries, great job sir.
There's something about his voice that keeps me on edge. I'm now in a state that I'm, constantly wondering when he's going to crack a horrible, taboo joke. Something that will make my skin curl as I double over laughing.

I'm not a gardener of any kind, I just like watching jeb because he's hilarious
Jeb's videos are informative and entertaining. Normally, I'm not in favor of videos like this with background music - but the music works well in Jeb's vids. The choice of music fits quite well and is not distracting.
Good job Jeb!
What a genuinous production, better than most of TV shows those days.
Thank you
Jeb Gardener Sure, I would strongly suggest try software called blender (blender.org). I can't imagine what a genuinous like you can do with it.
I'm currently experimenting with the Kratky method. I just uploaded a short vid using a basic form of Kratky by just using a water bottle to start off some Cherry Tomatoes.
I love you vids Jeb. A lot more effort than mine, keep it up
Its a miracle that I found this channel.
You easily explained everything without any confusing jargon.
glad you liked it
you're a madman, and I love it
Omg, I am standing in awe of Jeb Gardner! Such a great lesson in a nutshell!
Love your videos and music. Jeb, you are a real treat.
Kratky method explain from a full talented man expert... The best I like until now. Thanks so much to spare your experience and knowleged.
Thanks, gardening just made my bucket list!
Get started now. There is so much to learn!
Jeb Gardener tx for making videos and helping us out jeb!
You can use those buckets from your list
This is perfect for elementary school! You sir have The Gift. Thanks for sharing it!
I sleep after playing ur videos..... Ur videos are hypnotising me....
I hesitated to apply the method because I didn't know how it worked. Now I got it. Thank you so much. I will try it.
I missed the point in the vid where he smoked a pound and a half of weed. Can someone comment a time stamp?
Rytoast99 0:46. It's unrelated, but there's a timestamp.

Jeb Gardener jeb I have an important question what about standing water will it cause unwanted bacteria to form for kratky method....or by topping off water does it fight that?
I'm more thinking how he'd adjust the npk level
I'll definantly give it a try thats for sure :-)
Jebb this is your magnum opus, a truly suiting video to begin the playlist of Jeb's Best. Bravo.
Why am I crying
because you feel good
You probably listened some good music for the first time in your life
lol
Because you have just witnessed the glory of Kratky

Clicked because of the thumbnail. Stayed because this is truly a masterpiece of a video.
this beginner thanks you so much.
my brain effortlessly absorbed this information like a sponge. Your videos smack ! Hell yeah
Hi Jeb, do you add calcium nitrate to your nutrient mix?
Yeah I have details of the recipe on my newer grows. It's 40 percent of the mix.
wow Dr John you were here 5 years ago. Thanks for your pandemic information.
I don't even like gardening but this is the best channel ever
Thanks!

that's great. thanks
The best method after watching 100th videos about gardening,this is the best way to start,good,cheap and get good results I'm gonna try it thanks for the help.
Hope it works out for you
With this method how do you combat bacteria in the water? Few times I have tried this root rot took over from the heat and o2 depletion
Oversize the reservoir
thank you will give it a shot
Might be a little late to the party but I used Pondzyme. Look it up.
If the plant is healthy enough it beats bacteria as well as fungus. Btw I used to use a one liter milk box for salads and they grew well.
I did like the explanation with the music. Merci from Montreal, Canada.
How does this method compare with soil as far as growth rates and nutritional value are concerned? Do you never need to add more water, or do you have to add just the right amount at the start for transpiration to not remove all the water in the tub?
How much energy is wasted by the plant having to grow such long roots and pull that water up a considerable height?
Io growth in water is 2-3 times faster then soil. I rotate greens in about 45 days from the time I start the seeds

vegan powers why ro water. What's wrong with tap water or rain water
tap water has chloromine flouride chlorine etc and rain water has
chemtrails lol and collecting it is annoying. everyone should be only
drinking and bathing in RO too if you ask me
vegan powers I always though that rain water or r/o was a necessity for hydroponics but have had zero issues with tap water.
Chemtrails? Uneducated conspiracy nutter, go back to Alex Jones.
Rainwater is a bit better than tap water, but keep in mind most of the things in tap water to keep it free of organisms like chlorine and fluoride.

Thanks Jeb, really missed the part where you say your name though!
Jonas Hayes his name is jeb
I must admit, 3.5 years into a biochemistry degree and you still have superior drawing skills. Good for you Jeb, you rock!
thanks micah
When do I add the crack?
You have a great handwriting and really tidy drawing. Also your videos are great, I've been watching them for a couple of days now. I have no interest whatsoever in gardening but you're slowly making it flower up. Keep up the good job!
Keep watching you'll be there soon!
But wait!
Do plants drink all of the water in tubs eventually? therefore i need to keep eye on them and top up as required ??
Yeah if it's lettuce and its getting close just add a couple inches. For longer lived plants try to stay near half full on the reservoir.
Thanks Jeb I love your channel and videos :D u rock
They will if you go on vacation... lol
I love all your videos, but I would really love to see more educational ones like these.

awesome. have a fun winter
@@JebGardener Not much of a winter up here in Frisco! But this summer sure has been dark and gloomy.
Kratky means short in russian
And red rose means big government control and ownership over you.

Ngl I really like your intro and music choice and camera work :D, really captures the epicness of the Kratky Method!
How do you feel about LED grow lights?
I mostly like them if they have more than just red and blue. They can be expensive (initially) and the light can be unappealing to our eyes.
Jeb Gardener
Where did you buy the light? I am thinking of doing this. If you bought this off of amazon please give me the link.
So I am only growing some herbs in normal soil pots with them right now but they are doing pretty well! These cheapo ones are pretty bright and I'm using two of them to grow maybe 20 small plants.

I didn't before because I was thinking that I needed to make an Arduino water level device, but this is SO MUCH EASIER, damn it!!
Do it outdoors if you can. Takes almost no effort.
Jeb, thanks for breaking down the Kratky logic. Thoroughly enjoyed it.... and your drawings too :)
thanks
I clicked the video cause I saw your face. Haha I was not disappointed. Great video! Thanks for the information!
I'm in desperate need of a new hobby and this is definitely something I could get into to, Ive already ordered everything I need to start my own garden haha
Another awesome video, i think i am going to try this method this year as i have close to 100 3 gallon icecream pails. I normally use them outside for peppers and tomatoes.
Awesome! Start with a couple and get your technique down. Then go crazy!
