I think I've heard that it works, also. I can see if working for the small ones, but I'm skeptical about the big ones.
Keep us posted!

You're growing radishes hydroponically?

They are! Two of them per plant. The one underneath has a bigger hole. I use them to keep the algae down. The top one is usually removed when it gets transferred into the farmstand. The labels next to each plant have sticky on the back, and they get used once transferred.

Patience, my friend. Patience.
the cucumber plants i have growing right now took 6 and 10 days to sprout.
I think you're on the right track with the paper towel trick.

No need to restart, just make some adjustments. You might get the seed to sprout before putting it in the bottle, and make sure to wrap the bottle so algae doesn't grow.

I'm pretty sure you will. You won't need the expensive stuff, but you'll still want a way to measure both of those.
Your post the other day inspired me to move mine from my farmstand to kratky, so i started doing some research.

In that big tower, I've got a couple of varieties of lettuce, some kale, spinach, green onions, and some Arugula. Lots of empty slots that need to be filed.
The buckets have cayanne in one, and jimmy nardello peppers in the other.
