Have you ever done onions? Will it work the same way? Also what are you using for a wick?

  Yes, tried and experimented with onions and garlic they grow well too in the same method. No wicks used, this is purely Kratky method. Growing medium is 50-50 mix cocopeat & perlite. Here is the whole process for the onion https://youtu.be/r4MjqdRAUcE. I hope this helps!

i have never eaten veggies grown hydroponicaly. i have a garden and use old school 20 year old cow manure for dirt and fertilizer . the flavors are authentic and incredible , what is the comparison to hydro to garden grown is there a lot of flavor loss , because real vitamin D in animals and vegies should be a game changer
- Tomy Mitchell
  Darren Mc Hovey no difference of flavour loss but in some cases if hydro is done correctly flavours and vitamin will increase compared to traditional methods.

I’m just beginning to learn all this. Once you harvest everything, do you have to start a new batch of seedlings and then put them in the kratky? Or is there a way to chop off the roots from the onions you harvested and reuse them to grow a new batch?
Cheryl Kowalchuk
Curious how you avoid a fungus gnat infestation using that medium?
