HYDROPONIC FARMING AT HOME KRATKY TOMATO CLONE SIZE EFFECTS

Hydroponic Farming at Home? Improve your hydroponic systems and grow lights before going full scale. Amazon affiliate links are listed below for more information on my systems and techniques, as well as purchase.
Tomato plant shown is a micro dwarf Golden Harvest tomato plant, using a 14 gallon food safe drum. Kratky Method hydroponics technique for fill and forget, or fill once and forget, were the grow method. Cloning or growing from cuttings will reduce time to harvest. It is amazing how many plants can be cloned. The Kratky method of non-circulating hydroponics will save you from the associated expense of aeration or water pumps, but recirculating hydroponics has an advantage too.

Hydroponic Farming at Home also depends on the varieties of vegetables and flowers for optimum growing. The hydroponic setups can benefit from selections that are more optimized for the conditions of home hydroponics versus traditional crops outdoors in fields. When running profits or productivity measures based on square feet or square meters of space allotted towards growing, look at cost per square foot and output. You will want to have the most return on the dollar or other measures of return on investment. Hydroponic Farming at Home for small spaces will often mean focusing on microgreens, long harvest plants, or micro dwarf plants. Since you will be lighting your grow rooms or grow areas, cost per plant is often better with small plants and higher production. Often times, hydroponic farming at home includes growing in rooms, basements, grow tents, attics, or small outside or backyard homes. Roof tops are also included. So many big city or urban garden investors need guidance also. Be sure to subscribe to my channel to learn more about hydroponic gardening at home. Your hydroponic farming questions are welcomed. I am always looking to get more productivity on smaller areas. Also, I am always looking to get more productivity from less energy and less electricity. As a benefit to many, Professor Bernie Kratky taught me several cost savings benefits for growing crops. I have primarily expanded on his teaching in the realm of fill and forget passive hydroponics as a means of growing not just greens, microgreens, or lettuce, but to grow fruiting crops like tomatoes, peppers, squash, strawberries, and many other crops. The Kratky Method developed by Purdue University graduate, B.A. Kraty, with insights from William Frederick Gericke: who was, by the late 1920's growing enormous tomato plants in early hydroponic method. I also was fascinated in communicating with Maureen Mecozzi, who worked for the AVRDC at the time. A lot of work has been done in the Philippines with Styrofoam cups and containers in the growing of food crops. Information indicated there are over on million soil-less culture units operating in the United States for the production of food alone. Russia, France, Canada, South Africa, Holland, Japan, Australia and Germany are among other countries where hydroponics is receiving much attention. Howard Resh has been another influence, along with his pioneering research in hydroponics.
