CONCEPT

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using


nutrient-rich water solutions. By setting up a hydroponic farm
in an urban space (e.g., rooftops, underutilized land, or
vertical farming structures), you can grow fresh vegetables,
herbs, and fruits in a controlled, efficient environment.

AIM:to reduce the dependency on rural agricultural land,


shorten the supply chain (farm-to-table), and ensure
year-round crop production, even in urban spaces with
limited sunlight or soil.

Types Of Hydroponic Systems-Nutrient NFT-A shallow stream of nutrient
Film Technique (NFT) solution is re-circulated past plant roots
in a tilted tray
functioning follows the following
principle:
• A reservoir contains the nutrient
solution.
• A pump circulates the water from
the reservoir through the growth
tanks.
• The grow trays contain the plants.
The plants grow in a growth
medium and are in containers with
slots, so-called netcups.
• The netcups allow the roots of the
plants to hang in the water flow and
thus absorb the nutrients.
• After the nutrient solution has
flowed past the roots, it returns to
the reservoir via a hose.
Types Of Hydroponic DWC-Plants are suspended in a nutrient-rich water solution, allowing the roots to
grow in the liquid
Systems- • To build a DIY Deep Water Culture (DWC) system, you'll need a few supplies
Deep Water Culture and some knowledge of how to mix nutrients and adjust the water level:
(DWC) Container: A bucket or storage box that's large enough to hold the plant and net
pot
Net pot: A pot with holes that allows the plant's roots to grow into the water
Air pump: An air pump with tubing and an air stone
Nutrients: A nutrient solution for the type of plant you're growing
Growing medium: Rockwool, expanding clay, or another growing medium to
surround the plant
Tools: A food scale, hole saw, and drill bits
• Here are some steps you can follow to build a DWC system:

Prepare the water: Mix nutrients into the water, test the pH, and adjust it to between 5.5 and 6.5.
Fill the container: Fill the container with the nutrient solution to a level that's about one inch above the bottom of the net pot.
Add the plant: Place the plant in the net pot with its roots growing out of the growing medium.
Add the air stone: Attach the air tubing to the air stone and place it in the container.
Turn on the pump: Turn on the air pump to circulate the water and distribute air bubbles.
Maintain the system: Every one to two weeks, remove the plant and replace the nutrient solution. You can also add more
buckets to the system to grow more plants.
