Some things you'll need
2-3 Gallon Bucket
3 tubes
Sterile Medium(what the plant grows in) easy draining, ph neutral sand, smoothe river stones, hydroton, perlite
Air pumpMust create enough air to fill bucket with bubbles
LidAluminum foil plates work well for this
Net BucketThis should inside of your 2-3 gallon bucket
XEN's Deep Water Culture bucket
|\.../|
| \ / |<------------------Net pot and roots dangling from medium
|===|<-----------------Water/Fertilizer solution
| +++|<----------------Airstone to diffuse air to supply oxygen to roots
^_______|--@--|<--------Air pump
Steps:
1. Make sure the PH of the solution and medium you're using are around 6.5-7, if not use ph up or down to attain this range.
2. Depending on what medium(s) I suggest sterilizing before use, using a diluted (1/10) bleach solution.
3. Attach airstone to air pump hose and place it at the bottom of the bucket, below the netpot
I'm working out a way to make an organic hydro fertilizer with human urine
*Remember to empty the water often to prevent disease
*Check PH regularly
