It’s so nice that you showed and explained each stage of the growing process. Really shows it from start to finish. Thank you for sharing
Kyaide, thank you for the comment, I appreciate it!
Thank you. I’ve never ever commented on someone’s video but I had to tell you that you did a great job. Very informative;)
Thanks Jesi, I really appreciate the feedback!
This is the best video on growing tomatoes indoors that I have seen. Sometimes people don’t update what happens at the end of the experiment but you showed everything from start to finish. Well done.
Thank you SharShar,! It takes time ( a few months) to follow a tomato plant for its entire life cycle and then piece it all together, that’s why you don’t see the ending in so many other videos. Thanks for leaving positive feedback, I appreciate it!
I loved that too. I had to stop moving due to the SARS contagion. But I’ll be in my camper soon now. I’m so excited
who is Kratky? sounds very negative. it instantly associates with a lot of negative words.
Maybe u should go seek professional help before starting to grow flowers. Just my 2 cents @@seanleith5312
This is awesome and you are so good at explaining this step by step! I so long for real food and not the junk from the supermarkets especially in the winter! Also your birds outside are a pleasure to see and they look as happy as your plants! Thanks so much
Thanks Joanne, I appreciate it! It is fun to grow, and it is rewarding when you can munch on stuff you grow yourself, give it a try!
Tikki’s videos on home gardening in hydro are simply THE BEST videos you’ll find anywhere! I am so impressed by her incredible knowledge and excellent communication skills! Thank you, Tikki, for your amazing presentations. Now I can’t wait to try this.
Thank you Joe!
Well done. I just started playing with outdoor Kratky tomato. Plant is growing great in a 20 litre bucket. Thanks Tikki.
I have two remaining Kratky tomato plants, the others have been transplanted into soil as it is April and they are ready to “harden” as long as temperatures won’t go below freezing, one is over 6 feet tall. Her problem is fairly simple, she allows her plants to grow too many leaves. Pruning with the Kratky method is very important. Yes you CAN easily transplant to soil, however, you can also just keep the tomato plants growing kratky in hydroponic solution BUT you need to think about the GOAL. If you don’t prune, especially bottom leaves, you have a plant that is always thirsty and also becomes droopy very fast. The goal is FRUIT. Kratky Method is a science almost but intuitive, keeping branching leaves too a minimum so the plant doesn’t waste its energy. The rest of the plants energy goes towards fruiting (tomatoes). The Kratky plant has roots that seek nutrients (hydroponic solution) and roots that seek oxygen (‘oxygen roots”) and should not be drowned by the solution through overfilling.
This video is a jewel! Congratulations! I am from Caracas, Venezuela. I am trying growing plants indoor for the first time. It is a complete new affair for me. Your video plus your unique and crystal clear way to show and explain everything is already a how-to-do-it impossible to miss! Thanks a lot to share all of your experience. It is so useful and also very encouraging for people like me: beginners with no experience on the field! Thanks so much! Stay well and healthy! God Bless You and yoyr family! By the way: your plants and the beautiful tomatos show all the care and love you just felt doing the whole process! It shows in the video!!!! Thanks again!
OMG. You single handedly convinced me to switch to hydro. Thats it. Im done with soil.
Lol I do both. Some stuff are easy to grow in the ground like cilantro green onions. Some are a little bit more sensitive. You should do both. Something about getting my fingers dirty keeps me hopeful for humanity
How is it going!
She convinced us too!!
You might as well for indoors, some stuff needs too much nutes though just depends on what you’re growin
Both have advantages. Want to go on a weekend vacation? Hydro will need attention, coco hydro will hold enough water till you get back.
If I ever had teachers who talk like Tikki, I would never fall asleep, learn a lot
My family and I loved this video. Informative, creative, and clearly presented.
I really love your videos! I like how you let us see mistakes too and how you do experiments. I’m relatively new to gardening and this is day 1 of hydroponics and I’ve not only learned how to do stuff but also that failures and mistakes aren’t the end of the world ( I’m so hard on myself). I’m a teacher and I love how clearly you explain things. Thank you!
I am a retired teacher and I wish I had learned about kratky to put in my classroom.
I have used your video for my cherry tomato (and pepper) experiments. LOL I started the cherry tomatoes in the mason jars but after watching your video, I moved one to a large container that used to contain cheese puffs from Costco. Thanks for a very informative and educational video.
Of all the videos I have watched about hydroponics, you are a blessing to all of us beginners! Thank you!
Great job. I am currently growing 3 kinds of tomatoes in home depot buckets with an air stone in each. They are doing great.
I just binge watched 5 of your videos. I’ve already started tomatoes outside Kratky plus air stones. I can’t wait to start Lettuce from the bottoms of stalks. I was told by the owner of our local hydroponic store some grocery stores are getting wise to us and cutting the bottoms off! I hope he is wrong. I love ❤️ your style and the information you provide us. I look forward to growing vegetables inside this winter in order to save money and have fresh vegetables available. Blessings to you and your family. Stay cool.
I love your attitude of continual improvement. It’s a lost art in our times. I was always told when you first start anything it will be hard. If you work at things you’ll improve. You clearly learned from any misstep and moved to correct it.
If you ever damage roots in thinning them, you can dip the root area in honey and put them in soil or hydro. They will use the honey to encourage roots galore. Hope this helps anyone else who may have damaged a few roots when moving them around. Also, after you have the third set of leaves appear, you can snip the lowest (baby) leaves off the plant and insert the plants 2nd leaf set to top of grow cube or soil. Gluck growers
I just found Tikki and this is literally the best video I’ve ever seen on Hydroponic tomato growing!! Only a few minutes in and I was clicking both the like button and the subscribe button! Thank you Tikki, I feel like you are “one of us” and I appreciate that you shared your mistakes so we can all learn. I have no doubt you have helped so many with this video!! It was pieced together so well and the narration was fantastic! 🙂
You are the only start to finish, intellectual, sincere, honest kratky video maker I’ve found. You have no idea how much you are helping not only my family, but eventually our community. I’m starting small grows of everything prior to larger productions for any issues I run into. However, I am very confident that my issues will be minimized because of your awesomeness.
