Can someone recommend nutrients for the Kratky system? I am mostly growing multiple varieties of lettuce.

This sites is talking about just that. And they are using the Kratky method. Hope it helps.

I had not heard of it but looked it up. I have a hydroponics unit that I have peppers started in. I grew lettuce in it last month and the roots grew so long they grew into the filter and pump! It took me a while to get them all out. If I grow more lettuce inside, I'm going to try this method.
Here's a site I found that explains what he does, and he has the nutrients pictured.

I watched youtube videos where people used the regular hydroponics nutrients too.
