Hi,
Has anyone here used the Kratsky hydroponics method? It is like DWC without the air pump.

Me niether but it's this
The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic technique for growing plants suspended above a reservoir of nutrient-rich water. Because it is a non-circulating technique, no additional inputs of water or nutrients are needed after the original application, and no electricity, pumps, or water and oxygen circulation systems are required.[1] The Kratky method has applications both for commercial food production and as a small-scale and low-maintenance technique for home growers.[2
From behind the bushes
Kratky is good for greens like lettuce and cabbage. I don't think it would be effective without oxygenating the water. I tried growing peppers, cabbage and lettuce. The cabbage and lettuce thrived. The peppers didn't work out at all. I think weed is too demanding for that method.
Kratky method is basically non circulating hydro. Think Hyacinths.
Look up Khang Starr on You Tube. He has been growing chillies in Kratky method for at least a few years, and has grown his channel by making his own chilli crosses and grafts. His chilli grow has gone up in scale, and as far as I know he is based in Texas so climate is not so much an issue for him.
