Hydroponics - Growing Kale Start to Harvest

This is a comprehensive video covering aspects of growing kale indoors with a non-circulating hydroponic method. This method was designed by Dr. Bernard Kratky, a professor at the University of Hawaii. The video covers what you need to know to get you started growing your own kale in a simple way indoors. For your reference, time markers for the different steps along the way are listed below. One thing not mentioned in the video that is helpful for the health of the plants, is to provide some air movement with a small fan nearby. The fan should provide a gentle breeze, but not strong wind. I also have links to some supplies needed for growing in this manner. Note that I have no sales affiliation with any of the vendors in the links, so I would not benefit from purchases you make from these links. The links are provided for your convenience and information.
