Growing hydroponically offers very clean conditions without any soil. It is suitable for home growers in order to grow small, medium, and large plants up to tomato, cucumber, and pepper size. A Kratky system is based on a very simple and low-maintenance technique. You can use an Air pump with an air stone to supply oxygen to the water. It is a non-circulating technique and therefore, stagnant water loses oxygen with time. The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic technique for growing plants suspended above a reservoir of nutrient-rich water. Cocodisc/growcubes as the germination media.Hence, the plants show rapid and healthy growth. The plant roots swing in the nutrient-rich, oxygenated water while absorbing a large amount of oxygen and nutrients. Net pots support plants and growing media like clayball provides proper root anchorage. Plants are kept on the raft and their roots are suspended into the solution below. In a DWC (deep water culture) system, a tank is filled with nutrient solution and a raft floats on top of the water. If you are willing to grow Leafy crops like Basil, Lettuce, Kale, Chard, Bok Choy/Tatsoi, spinach, mustard, collards, mint, and other herbs then a simple Deep Water Culture System can be constructed.
