Bottom Watering vs Kratky Method for Pea Microgreens — Which Wins?

🤔 What happens when you grow pea microgreens hydroponically with no grow medium at all — just a mesh tray, water, and nutrients? In this experiment, we tested two different hydroponic watering methods for growing Yellow Pea microgreens to see which one produces better results. Both groups were planted directly onto mesh trays with no growing medium and received the same hydroponic nutrient mix — the only difference was how the water was delivered. Here's what we tested: ✅ Group 1: Bottom watering method — 1" deep Bootstrap Farmer tray (seeds drink water up quickly) ✅ Group 2: Kratky method — 2" deep Bootstrap Farmer tray creating a larger reservoir (roots sit in nutrient water and drink over time) Here's what we cover: ✅ Growing pea microgreens with zero grow medium on mesh trays ✅ Bottom watering vs. Kratky hydroponic method — full side-by-side comparison ✅ How tray depth affects water availability, root development, and crop growth ✅ Using hydroponic nutrients for soilless microgreen growing ✅ Which method produced better Yellow Pea microgreens and why The Kratky method is interesting because the roots get a constant supply of nutrient water rather than drinking it all up right away like with bottom watering.
