    • Priscilla Knight
      There so many different methods online but here in this page we can just ask u or other people that have had success
    • Dennis Hamilton
      studying online and mocking up smaller systems. Bootstrap Farmer has courses now that I would recommend.

      yes, but did you learn how you need to correct the problems? My first wasnt great either. Doing better this fall/winter, tho.
    • Priscilla Knight
      the seeds grew and I transferred them into coconut husk and then they slowly dies off not sure if I moved em to fast or not
    • Priscilla Knight
      I had them in seed trays and I think that maybe I needed a better method of where to put them after that’s the only thing I can think of but I’m gonna try again

Your main consideration should be: How much do you want to spend, how much space do you have, how much time can you spend on your plants, what are your weather conditions and the list goes on and on. There are different hydroponic methods/systems so I suggest Google the different systems and learn what you can grow in it and then make an informed decision. Just a friendly warning dont believe everything on Google. I do the Kratky system and some articles says it takes an hour to set-up and you hardly need to check on it. Haha think again life happens and you need to stay on top of your system or otherwise just drop the complete excercise.

Kratky. Love to start with Kratky. It's easy and can build confidence. Low maint, low start up cost just Mason jars and nutrient solution, can put anywhere there's light.

      I like this idea looks simple

      My Kratky ‘went sour’ with only nutrients, smelled like rot, new start with H2O2, hoping for the best. Or did I do something wrong? Using an organic fertilizer, brown fluid.
    • Brian Dunning
      I can't speak to organic nutrients. I use chemical nutrients from masterblend
    • Priscilla Knight
      I’m gonna do this

Basil very easy to grow neatly and I'm also growing in clay pebbles where I germinated them (was an accidental experiment to keep them going) I imagine mint would grow like a weed!
