The forum is live: the first questions and the “My first jar” challenge
Thirty starter topics opened by the team, a redesigned forum page, and a first challenge for everyone: start a Kratky jar and show it off all the way to harvest.
An empty forum does not invite anyone to post. So we opened thirty starter topics: the questions we get asked most often, each with a first answer and links to the guides. The rest is up to you.
Thirty questions to get started
First purchase, water depth in Kratky, towers and wind, gutter slope, ESP32 sensors, how many heads of lettuce for a family, fish for aquaponics, edible flowers… Each topic is signed “The team” and ends with a question for members. You will find them all on the forum.
The “My first jar” challenge
My first jar
- Start the jarA lettuce or a basil plant, following the Kratky tutorial.
- Photo 1, at the startIn a new topic under “Show off your setups”, with your pH and EC.
- Photo 2, at two weeksIn the same topic: water level, roots, anything that surprises you.
- Photo 3, at harvestOr at the point where it failed: you learn as much from a failed jar as from a successful one.
The best-looking jars, and the most instructive failures, will be featured in an upcoming news post.
