Part 2) 🌱 💧 Testing the Kratky Method on a miniature scale for growing Broccoli Microgreens with our Silicone Reusable Grow Medium! As previously mentioned, if you aren't familiar, the Kratky growing method is a hydroponic system/method created & named after Dr. Bernard Kratky. It's a way of growing plants suspended above a reservoir that is filled with nutrient rich water. What makes Kratky different from the DWC (deep water culture) method is that there is no use of electricity (pumps & airstones). 💧🌱

✨️✨️ This simple setup can be a great way to make sure your Microgreens are watered while stepping away for a day or two without investing in an automated system. The main thing is to make sure you refresh the water every so often so that you don't run into root rot. Which, with Microgreens, doesn't occur often since the turnaround rate is quicker than, say, peppers, adult basil, or tomatoes that are more commonly grown using the Kratky Method. ✨️✨️

In part one of this series, we had seeded the medium & began germination. Now, here we are in part 2, five days into simply misting the seeds with water, and it was time to add our nutrient water to the reservoir tray. We added 14-cups of our mixture, and now we'll see how many days we can go without adding any more water at all. 🌱🌱
