Build Your Own Hydroponic Garden
Hydroponic Gardening - http://www.self-sufficient-life.com/Hydroponic_Gardening DIY Hydroponics garden. Hydroponics is not a new development. It has been around since nearly the beginning of recorded history. That wonder of the ancient world known as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was an exercise in hydroponics and rice has been grown hydroponically for centuries. Today, hydroponics is used in a variety of settings. Wherever soil is unavailable, hydroponic gardening seems to appear. Wildcatters on offshore oilrigs grow their own tomatoes. Cooks on nuclear submarines hydroponically grow vegetables to use in there crew's meals. Right now, plants are growing on orbiting space stations without a single grain of soil. This video is an outline of the equipment and steps neccessary to build your own hydroponic garden.

this is great!

This was really helpful

Can someone tell me where I can get these said supplies? Or which ones I need. A "Pump" is kind of a broad subject.
-
i feel exhausted from watching this.

You went to a lot of trouble masking over and sealing something see-through. Would it be less expensive to use a large Styrofoam cooler or a ceramic container? Nice build and plant support idea!

retarded music
-
thanks, thats great, the normal youtube font is more legible, thanks!
-
hey, i can read the price numbers cuz i have a eye problem, anone can tell me what is the total price?
-
It was the furnace filter material he wrapped around the roots. as for the Miracle-Gro I'm not sure.
-
shitty scissors bro, you need an upgrade!
-
im gonna light up that dro
-
brilliant idea to have floating styrofoam. styrofoam is also rather anti-bacterial/fungal i think since they use those containers to put cheese jugs in to ferment.

It takes about a good month before the nitrogen cycle will be complete. Afterward, treating it like a fish tank should help pretty darn well for the plants. Like another user said, a reservoir below is another good way of doing it. Using a pond pump and timers to spray the plants every 15 minutes or however much they need to be watered. Lights on a timer too, makes everything much much easier and smooth. Awesome vid, nice setup! Take care....

For all those still wondering, you can do a setup like this with fish. Most fish really don't physically need light, however if you are going to cover the entire tank there is no need to put fish in the tank at all. If you leave the tank open you should install flour. lights above your plans to simulate the season. 18 hours during spring time, 12 towards fall seems to be pretty good. If you add fish and treat it as a fish tank, it will go through the nitrogen cycle, eliminating extra nutrients.

how offten do you put nutrients in the tank? Do you leave the pump on all the time, like an areo garden? how long from seed does it take for the seedlings to grow? If anyone knows let me know......I'm just new to this.

Dude, I don't think fish need light to live. They just rely on the things the light helps sustain (phytoplankton, plants, etc.). I am sure that with oxygenated clean water and ample food, most fish would do just fine. Could the light help with 'good' bacteria production and/or healthy immune function? That's my question.

Thanks! I have been wanting one of these for years but knever knew exactly how to go about building one.

I've seen that as well icefox; actually, I have a few. You barely ever need to feed the fish because the plant feeds them. They could never eat enough to damage the plant though. I just have mine in small clear vases though. I think if you were intent on making the plants produce alot, the nutrients you would need would hurt the fish.
-
Again, I cant honestly say I know what I'm doing, but I've seen people with beta fish living with the roots of plants, eating a small amount of the plant.
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the tank as a fish tank? I personally don't know much about gardening, but they might provide other essential nutrients just by being there.
