Video Hidroponics With Bottles

Hydroponic systems, which grow plants without soil, accelerate plant growth by bringing the nutrients directly to the plants, so they don’t have to develop large root systems to seek out food. All plants will grow more quickly under these conditions, but some plants do so well that they can go from seed to harvest in just a few weeks. If you are new to hydroponics, don’t be afraid to try different plants to see which ones grow best for you.

Many common greens will grow much faster in a hydroponic system than they will when grown in soil. Arugula, a slightly peppery salad green, is ready to harvest as little as three weeks after planting. Mustard greens, Swiss chard, spinach, kale and watercress are all fast-growing plants that will thrive in a hydroponic system, and typically you can begin harvesting them within a month of planting. Harvest them early, when they are small, to get tender young greens, or allow them to get larger if you prefer your greens to have more size or a stronger flavor.

The most commonly produced salad green plants which are easily grown in hydroponics systems alongside lettuce are listed below. Many are grown for their appearance or color while others such as rocket, corn salad, and various types of cress are grown more for their distinctive flavors. Most of these plants are highly productive and withstand harvesting of a few leaves (always harvest the outer leaves from salad green crops) every week while continuing to grow.

    Chicory and Endive: Mediterranean salad plants - The most common type of Italian chicory produced hydroponically is radicchio which has a sharp, tangy flavor and is red and white in coloring. Endive salad greens have tender, finely divided and curled leaves that look great in salad mixes.

•     Kale: Red and Green varieties are available - smaller leaves are used in salads, larger leaves as garnishes or decoration.

•     Mustard Greens: Small, quick growing varieties are suitable for salad greens, they add a tangy flavour and come in both red and green types.

•     Mizuna: Very quick growing in hydroponics, Mizuna is a commonly grown Japanese green. Grows into a large clump of finely dissected leaves which can be harvest from many times.

•     Cresses: Water cress, land cress, winter cress and common cress are very easy to grow and produce at a rapid rate in hydroponic systems. Cresses have a distinctive peppery flavor and can be added to many salad types or used on their own as a vegetable. Watercress is a semi aquatic plant and can be grown from seed or cuttings and is particularly well suited to NFT, raft, float and similar systems.

•     Rocket (Arugula): Rocket, sometimes called Arugula, roquette or rucola, is an ancient medicinal plant which is now becoming a very popular salad green crop. Both annual and perennial forms can be grown in hydroponics. The leaves have a distinctive nutty, peppery flavor that some say is reminiscent of peanuts. The flavor can be strong in older plants and those which are flowering (rocket flowers are also edible and can be used in salads).

•     Chard: Baby leaves of Swiss chard (red, orange yellow, white and green) are commonly grown and used in salad mixes as they add a distinctive splash of color. Harvest young from hydroponic systems before any strong flavors develop.

•     Spinach: Baby spinach leaves used raw in salads should be used as older plants can become bitter. Orache or mountain spinach (Artiplex hortensis) is also a useful plant as it comes in green, red and yellow varieties and is more easily grown in hydroponics than common spinach.

•     Corn salad (Lambs lettuce): A plant that certainly looks like a small, hairy weed - but corn salad has a distinctive flavor (nutty, sharp and a little corn like) which blends in well in salad mixes.

•     Miner's Lettuce: Grown more for its unusual leaf shape and crisp texture, Miner's Lettuce is an incredibly fast grower in hydroponics. Miners lettuce isn't actually a lettuce, its a member of the Portulacaceae family and is also called winter purslane. It formed a valuable part of the diet of miners (hence its common name) during the gold rush of the 1850s, helping prevent scurvy in times when fresh vegetables were scare. This is an annual plant, grown from seed.

•     Amaranth: Several members of the Amaranthus are used as leafy salad plants. Both red and green amaranth are heat tolerant and good for summer conditions. The flavor is similar to spinach and most need to be harvested while still quite young for use in salad mixes.

These are just a few of the wide range of salad green plants which thrive in hydroponic systems. Keeping a regular check on seed catalogues is a good idea to see what the latest and greatest new salad green plant is!

The Scrap Window Greenhouse For Hydroponics

 

A greenhouse (also called a glasshouse, or, if with additional heating, a hothouse) is a structure with walls and roof made chiefly of transparent material such as glass in which plants requiring regulated climatic conditions are grown. These structures range in size from small sheds to industrial-sized buildings. A miniature greenhouse is known as a cold frame. The interior of a greenhouse exposed to sunlight becomes significantly warmer than the external ambient temperature, protecting its contents in cold weather.

Many commercial glass greenhouses or hothouses are high tech production facilities for vegetables or flowers. The glass greenhouses are filled with equipment including screening installations, heating, cooling, lighting, and may be controlled by a computer to optimise conditions for plant growth.

Greenhouses can be divided into glass greenhouses and plastic greenhouses.

In domestic greenhouses the glass used is typically 3mm (or 1/8") 'horticultural glass' grade, which is good quality glass that should not contain air bubbles (which can produce scorching on leaves by acting like lenses).
Plastics mostly used are polyethylene film and multiwall sheets of polycarbonate material, or PMMA acrylic glass.

Commercial glass greenhouses are often high-tech production facilities for vegetables or flowers. The glass greenhouses are filled with equipment such as screening installations, heating, cooling and lighting, and may be automatically controlled by a computer.

• Scrap window greenhouse

This kind of project just requires you to make the most of the old and unwanted window frames that are lying in your junkyard. Simply make the basic wooden structure (foundation) and with the help of screws adjust and assemble the windows on it. You can add tin roofing and add glass to the windows which have broken ones. Simply add flowers to it so that beauty can be enhanced.

How To Grow Tomatoes and Mustard Green With Hydroponics Tehnique

Imagine that first bite of a sweet, succulent, ripe tomato picked fresh from your garden. The warm juice runs down your chin as a delightful explosion of flavour awakens dormant tastebuds. In our harsh climate, fresh tomatoes can usually be enjoyed for only a few short weeks of the year. Then it's back to artificially ripened, flavourless imports your grocer charges a small fortune for. Take heart, you can savour the homegrown tomato experience year round.

Tomatoes grown hydroponically, indoors under lights, are equal to, or superior in flavour and nutrition than their outdoor, soil grown counter-parts. A tomato's sweetness and flavour is largely dependent on light and temperature. The nutritional value of a tomato is dependent on the nutrition the plant receives while growing and producing fruit. In the controlled environment of an indoor garden, the plants exact requirements can be met with artificial lighting, temperature control and supplemental nutrition. This enables the grower to enjoy a continuous harvest all year long without sacrificing taste and goodness.

 

Hydroponics is a pure, clean method of cultivation. For this reason it is recommended you start your tomatoes directly from seed. Bringing plants in from outside creates a potential for pest and disease contamination. Start seeds in one inch rockwool starter cubes in a standard nursery tray with dome. Rockwool cubes should be pre-soaked in water adjusted to a pH of 4.5 prior to planting. Keep covered tray in a moist, warm (20°-25°C) environment until seedlings begin to sprout. Once vegetation appears, immediately move the seedling into a light source, metal halide or flourescent lights, for at least 12 hours per day and remove domes. Failure to provide light soon enough will cause seedlings to bolt in search of a light source. Ensure roots are never exposed to the light as this will cause damage and death to the roots and delay plant growth.

Hydroponics Technique For Gardening

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only, or in an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel.

Basically, growing plants without the use of a traditional dirt medium and using a nutrient rich water solution. Those mediums range from fiberglass to sand and from fired clay balls to nothing at all. Several branches of hyrdoponics include aeroponics (using air as the grow medium), aquaponics etc.
Hydroponically grown foods not only taste better and are more nutritional, you can change the properties of your food, monitor what goes into your food and pollutes less. You can also grow more in less space. 

This is especially great for those of us that do not have a backyard to grow in. With the right plant selection, you can also keep pests away. I plan on planting a citronella plant - not only do I like the smell of citronella plants, but their oils keep away mosquitoes and other pests.

There are 6 basic types of hydroponic systems; Wick, Water Culture, Ebb and Flow (Flood & Drain), Drip (recovery or non-recovery), N.F.T. (Nutrient Film Technique) and Aeroponic. There are hundreds of variations on these basic types of systems, but all hydroponic methods are a variation (or combination) of these six. Scroll down this page (or click on the system names) to see drawings and a description of each type of hydroponic system.

• WICK SYSTEM

Wick Systems are the most basic form of hydroponics and are incredibly easy to set up. They are a great introduction for beginners or students looking to learn the basic principles of hydroponics without having to deal with the complex mechanisms of other systems.

Wick Systems are passive, meaning they have no moving parts. This makes them easier and cheaper to maintain than active systems such as Ebb and Flow, but they also have the drawback of being less efficient and not well equipped for high-maintenance plants, or large plants that consume a lot of water. The best plants to use in this system are fast growing lettuces or herbs. Herbs such as rosemary that don’t require a lot of water such are the best choices, while thirsty plants such as tomatoes would not do well.

• WATER CULTURE

The water culture system is the simplest of all active hydroponic systems. The platform that holds the plants is usually made of Styrofoam and floats directly on the nutrient solution. An air pump supplies air to the air stone that bubbles the nutrient solution and supplies oxygen to the roots of the plants.

Water culture is the system of choice for growing leaf lettuce, which are fast growing water loving plants, making them an ideal choice for this type of hydroponic system. Very few plants other than lettuce will do well in this type of system.

This type of hydroponic system is great for the classroom and is popular with teachers. A very inexpensive system can be made out of an old aquarium or other water tight container. We have free plans and instructions for a simply water culture system (click here for free plans).

The biggest draw back of this kind of system is that it doesn't work well with large plants or with long-term plants.

 

• EBB & FLOW - (FLOOD AND DRAIN)

 

Flood and Drain (Ebb and Flow) systems are very popular with home hydroponic growers for many reasons. Besides how easy they are for anyone to build, you can use almost any materials you have laying around to build them with, so you don't need to spend much money to grow plants  hydroponically. Also they can be built to fit in any available space you might have (both indoors or outdoors), and there is no limit to the different and imaginative ways to design them for that space. Along with being inexpensive and easy to build, plants grow very well in flood and drain systems. The flood and drain system works basically like it sounds, by simply flooding the plants root system with nutrient solution. Only periodically rather than continuously.

How a hydroponic flood and drain system operates quite simple. The main part of the flood and drain system holds the containers the plants are growing in. It can be just one plant, or many plants/containers in series. A timer turns on the pump, and water (nutrient solution) is pumped through tubing from the reservoir up into the main part of the system using a submersible fountain/pond pump. The nutrient solution continues to fill (flood) the system until it reaches the height of the preset overflow tube so that it soaks the plants roots. The overflow tube should be set to about 2 inches below the top of the growing media.

When the water filling/flooding the system reaches the overflow tube height, it drains back down to the reservoir where it recirculates back through the system again. The overflow tube sets the water level height in the flood and drain system, as well as makes sure the water (nutrient solution) doesn't spill out the top of the system while the pump is on. When the pump shuts off, the water siphons back down into the reservoir through the pump (draining the system). 

• DRIP SYSTEMS

RECOVERY / NON-RECOVERY
 

Drip systems are probably the most widely used type of hydroponic system in the world. Operation is simple, a timer controls a submersed pump. The timer turns the pump on and nutrient solution is dripped onto the base of each plant by a small drip line. In a Recovery Drip System the excess nutrient solution that runs off is collected back in the reservoir for re-use. The Non-Recovery System does not collect the run off.

A recovery system uses nutrient solution a bit more efficiently, as excess solution is reused, this also allows for the use of a more inexpensive timer because a recovery system doesn't require precise control of the watering cycles. The non-recovery system needs to have a more precise timer so that watering cycles can be adjusted to insure that the plants get enough nutrient solution and the runoff is kept to a minimum.

The non-recovery system requires less maintenance due to the fact that the excess nutrient solution isn't recycled back into the reservoir, so the nutrient strength and pH of the reservoir will not vary. This means that you can fill the reservoir with pH adjusted nutrient solution and then forget it until you need to mix more. A recovery system can have large shifts in the pH and nutrient strength levels that require periodic checking and adjusting.

 

• N.F.T.

(Nutrient Film Technique)

 

This is the kind of hydroponic system most people think of when they think about hydroponics. N.F.T. systems have a constant flow of nutrient solution so no timer required for the submersible pump. The nutrient solution is pumped into the growing tray (usually a tube) and flows over the roots of the plants, and then drains back into the reservoir.

There is usually no growing medium used other than air, which saves the expense of replacing the growing medium after every crop. Normally the plant is supported in a small plastic basket with the roots dangling into the nutrient solution.

N.F.T. systems are very susceptible to power outages and pump failures. The roots dry out very rapidly when the flow of nutrient solution is interrupted.
 

• AEROPONIC

 

The aeroponic system is probably the most high-tech type of hydroponic gardening. Like the N.F.T. system above the growing medium is primarily air. The roots hang in the air and are misted with nutrient solution. The mistings are usually done every few minutes. Because the roots are exposed to the air like the N.F.T. system, the roots will dry out rapidly if the misting cycles are interrupted.

A timer controls the nutrient pump much like other types of hydroponic systems, except the aeroponic system needs a short cycle timer that runs the pump for a few seconds every couple of minutes.

Sawi Hidroponik Menggunakan Toples Bekas Part 1

Hidroponik sekarang sudah mulai mewabah dikalangan anak muda. Disamping relatif mudah di praktekkan, hidroponik seakan-akan sudah menjadi tren dan selera kawula muda. Seperti dalam bercocok tanam secara konvensional dimana tanah sebagai media tanamnya dan lengkap dengan peralatan bercocok tanamannya dalam hidroponik pun juga menggunakan peralatan untuk bercocok tanam tapi jelas berbeda dengan peralatan yang digunakan pak tani yang masih menggunakan tanah sebagai medianya. dalam Hidropronik peralatannya disebut KIT atau sering juga disebut Kit Hidroponik. Kit Hidroponik itu sendiri bentukan bermacam-macam tergantung dari sistem yang akan diadopsinya. Tapi secara umum memang untuk membuat Kit Standar Hidroponik relatif mahal, seperti membuat Green House misalnya, atau membuat rak fertigasi, Kolam untuk Floating Hydroponic System, atau dengan pipa PVC untuk membuat jalur NFT. Tapi jangan berkecil hati, klo kita kreatif barang bekas pun atau dengan bahan seadanya sekalipun masih bisa digunakan untuk bercocok tanam secara hidroponik. Yang penting semangatnya harus membara. Hijaukan Bumi kita. Berkebun itu menyenangkan. by Sugeng Riyadi
