I don't know if this is quite the correct place, but does anyone have experience with the Kratky hydroponic method? I have basement space and need a hobby so I don't cabin fever meltdown over the winter and this seems cheap and fun.

Jhet posted:It's low effort and low material cost. Key here is making sure to keep the water/nutrients topped up regularly, and also keeping a good temperature in the water to let the plants grow. Basements are likely to need some sort of heat. Regular shop lights are good enough to grow greens, anything that flowers/fruits is possibly going to need a better grow light to succeed well. Buy some liquid hydroponic nutrients and some pipettes or a way to measure the additions. You'll have to look up the mix rates for whichever nutrients you buy. Thank you, I should have made it clear that I already understood the basic principles. What I was curious about people’s personal experiences, maybe get some fun insights. Anyway, got my peas germinating under a grow light I cludged together out of an old lamp and microphone boom. Feels good.

I'm looking for resources on building hydroponic tower systems using PVC pipe and fittings, if anybody has experience with that. Links to How-To are more than appreciated. I've got like 8 empty kitty litter buckets that I can utilize for NFT and DWC projects. My Kratky jars have been fun...but I need to fiddle and micromanage and Kratky is ironically too dead-simple for that.
