I'm growing hydroponic cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, and crenshaws using the Kratky method. They're thriving with lush leaves and plenty of flowers, but the fruits keep dying before they mature. I'm stumped on what I'm doing wrong, especially when it comes to nutrient adjustments. Any tips?

Are you using a liquid fertilizer? Different plants can need different nutrients. If you're using something like Fox Farms "Grow Big," that's usually solid, but maybe try a general vegetable fertilizer for balance. It could help!
Have you been pollinating your plants? If not, that might be part of the issue. Even if they're outside, sometimes they still need a little help from you to pollinate. Just a thought!
I hadn't been! I was hoping the bees and other critters would handle it for me.
Yes, I’m on Fox Farms! I’m being careful with how often I apply it, so maybe I should consider a more balanced option.
