I want to start building a very simple grow-box with a water culture hydroponic system. This project pretty much explains the kind of grow-box which I intend to build and this page gives a nice overview on different types of hydroponic systems. Put together, I will need the following components for my grow-box:
- A box with a door and silver foil for covering the inside of the box
- Ventilation for the box
- A nutrition reservoir
- An air-pump
- An LED growing light
- A floating platform for growing the plants
- Strawberry seeds
- Nutritient solution
- Artificial soil (perlite, vermiculite)
So the first version of my grow-box should look a little bit like this:
