Hi Guy's
I'm a relative newbie when it comes to kratky hydroponics been learning the hard way though trial and error....or should I say errors
but it's been fun.
I managed to drown my kratky Dorset Naga last season but salvaged the fruit
so far this season I've not repeated this mistake !
What has been interesting this season is playing with different sized containers and the effect on plant size !
Hungarian black in a spice jar ! One thing you quickly learn is the smaller the container the more often you need to check and top up ! But still amazing what you can grow in and produce in such a small vessel.
A Reaper x Naga f3/4 in a 500ml bottle pretty much cut in half so 250 ml as you can see it works but a real pain when it comes to topping up.
Scotch brains yellow f6 in a 500ml pasta sauce jar this is alot more manageable.....but if you left it for a weeks holiday........
reckon you'd be in big trouble !
I think this will be my go to "trial " kratky size next season to me to taste new varieties and fit maximum numbers in a small space
Now here's a Reaper x Moruga f4/5 in a 5 litre container ! Big mistake ! I learnt this season the hard way ! I had a few varieties in 500ml that I moved to 5 litre
dam ! They grow way bigger 
Here's a Scotch brains yellow f6 in a 20 litre container, same seed as the plant in the 3rd photo I had this mislabelled as my Dorset naga ! Sadly I must have mixed up and culled my Dorset naga 
but on the bright side I should be up to my arm pits in Scotch brains yellow f6 
I feel alot of Curry goat coming on 
It's been very interesting playing with different kratky container sizes I've learnt alot that will hopefully see me in good stead next season.
I'm contemplating a huge kratky outdoor Rocoto next season
