A hydroponic system is another way to grow plants. It was very fun to do it cost me about $100. You could do it for about $75 or less because I bought my stuff in bulk.

Step 1: Get the Materials

The materials you need are: a storage container 20 ft of 1/2 inch tubing 10 ft of 1/4 inch tubing 120 GPH pump PH tester Drill 4 1/2 inch right angles Ph up or down Nutrients 1 gallon container 2 inch ''net pots'' 2 inch drill bit Seeds Coco pith hydrocorn Water 1 1/2 inch T Grow light

Step 2: Drill the Holes

Use the 2 inch drill bit and drill holes on the lid of the storage container 2 inches apart

Step 3: Add the Main Pipe

First, put your pump on the bottom of the storage container. Second, cut off 5 feet of the 1/2 inch tubing and just keep it inside the container for now. Third, cut a hole in the lid by the edge on one side. The hole should be a little bigger than a 1/2 inch. Use a 3/4 inch drill bit. Then, run the tube through the hole and use the T and connect it to the bottom of the T. Let it just rest their for now. Lay the 4 angles in every corner. Then cut off a section that is from the T to the angle that is next to it and keep cutting off sections and connecting them so it makes a square using the angles.

Step 4: Add the 1/4 Inch Line

First, use a small drill bit like 3/16 and drill a holes by ever 2 inch hole in the main line the 1/2 inch line. Second, use the the 1/4 line and cut one end and an angle and shove it in a hole and cut it so that it goes to the 2 inch hole and do that to everyone.

Step 5: Plant the Plants

Use the seeds and coco pith it's as simple as that

Step 6: Test Your Water

Use the Ph tester you want it to be 5.5-7.0 depending on the plant. You can look it up online it should say or my Ph tester had a packet that had over 100 plants. That's also were the Ph up or down. The reason why mine says 2 ml per gallon is because I did that to remind me. My water was a 7.5 and now my water is at 5.5

Step 7: Water

Once your Ph is down. Add 3-5 ml of nutrients. I got my nutrients at brewandgrow.com.

Step 8: Add Your Water

Add 5-10 gallons of water

Step 9: Add Your Plants

Take the net pots and add a 1/2 inch layer of hydrocorn and put a plant on top of the hydrocorn. Take some more and sorround the plant with it. Put it in the big hole and put the small tube in the plant.
