June 21 - The Campfire Trail - The Hydroponics System is Working (Video)

June 21, 2024

Day 994 of the Adventure


A few days ago, I shared a story about the hydroponics system we recently built. Hydroponics is a growing method where plants are grown in a nutrient solution circulating through growing trays. There's nothing terribly complicated about it and it's certainly not difficult to build. I believe the biggest challenge was that of balancing the pH and nutrient solution. Even that was not too bad once going through the process. Seeds are deposited into a growth medium, in this case a small rock wool plug placed in the bottom of a "net-cup". The cup is positioned where the nutrient water can flow past it and can be wicked up into the rock wool to feed the seed. The plant's root system will grow through the rock wool and down into the nutrient tray and continue to grow there through the life of the plant. It's a fascinating process and as of this morning, I can see the seeds beginning to sprout. I don't think this is going to take very long at all. We filmed a video of getting the process started (You can see it by clicking Here) Plus, our daughter Mandy is planning to build and sell small home versions of the system if you're interested in giving it a try.
