How to start seeds and transplant sprouts using the Kratky method

Using the Kratky method to start seeds and transplant spouts. In this video I show to start pepper seeds using the Kratky method and also demonstrate a way to transfer existing sprouts into a Kratky setup. My seed starting nutrient solution is a mix of 4-18-38 Master Blend, Epsom Salt and Calcium Nitrate at the following strengths.

This same method will also work in the AeroGarden. Khang Starr and Matt Garver gave me the ideas for exploring this.

MasterBlend 1.6 grams/gallon
Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) .8 grams/gallon
Calcium Nitrate 1.6 grams/gallon

There is more information on my website on where to buy these ingredients as well as mixing instructions. https://www.pepperinfo.com/hydroponics/hydroponic-supplies-nutrients/
