DIY Hydroponics: How to build a Hydroponics system with Plastic Bottles for Balcony Garden (2020)

Hello Friends, Let us learn how to setup Hydroponics At Home Using Plastic Bottles. In simple, Hydroponics is growing plants without soil. Hydroponics replaces the use of traditional growth mediums like soil with a nutrient and mineral-rich water solution. Plants are grown with their roots in an inert medium. Growth mediums includes perlite, rockwool, coconut husk, rocks, cocopeat, sponge, foam, clay pellets, coconut fiber/coconut chips, or vermiculite. The key is you keep the roots exposed to a nutrient rich water solution.
You can grow Lettuce,Spinach,Strawberries,Bell Peppers,Herbs. You may also try tomato and egg plants too. Leafy greens like lettuce are the most profitable crops to grow in hydroponic systems. With the professional setup and nutrient balance, you can grow any plant hydroponically.
Do-it-yourself hydroponic systems come in different forms. You can build one using different locally-available materials such as recyclable plastic bottles, containers, boxes and even PVC pipes. Here we are discussing unit designed using recyclable plastic PET bottles.
For this DIY Hydroponics, we will need the below materials that will be available mostly at home:
1. Empty 2 litre bottles
2. Sponge or any planting medium
3. Plastic Cups for Net cups (Use and throw cups)
4. Marker
5. Water
6. Hydroponic solution
7. Seeds of your choice (I'm using groundnut in this video)
8. Hot Glue
The Hydroponic solution combines of primary nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, magnesium; secondary nutrients like calcium, sulphur, phosphorus; and micronutrients like iron, copper, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, boron.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have been wanting to grow home-veggies using this method but all over YT there is nothing but complicated stuff with pvc etc... this is PERFECT! Especially now that I don't have steady work. Thank you SOOOO much!!!!

thank you bro!

[@xxmatrixflames]

@Mega Saving Mart you clearly saw the plants growing, so ig not.

[@ananyahuddar2063]

This is just so awesome! Everywhere on youtube, there are expensive hydroponics setup which one can ofcourse not afford and keep in house. I was preparing for a science exhibition and this helped so much. Thankyou for bringing up the idea. One could never think of using plastic bottles for making this! Very appreciable. Thanks

[@madhuravtraveldiaries1866]

I have been trying to setup low cost hydroponic setup for more than two years.although this idea appears to be good but the the moment these plants starts to grow the roots will rot and eventually the plants will die as there are no measure taken to keep the water cool or to aerate it and as result the roots will drown and die.

[@ananyahuddar2063]

@@madhuravtraveldiaries1866 You have to circulate the water.. and keep changing it.. this is because the nutrients in the water will soon be absorbed by the plants.. if you keep adding small amounts of nutrients to the water.. you will still have to change it.. else the water will try to stink and algae may grow on it

[@kavinehaperumal6071]

Did it go well? I'm asking cause I'm also going to do this for a science exhibition.

Thank you for the thundering thought 👌👌
How and where should we place it?
Please say about the maintenance

[@hyfytube6326]

you can place it over the table in partial sunlight depending on which plant you grow and while refilling you can slightly keep it in slant position to drain the water out and fill with fresh nutrient solution once a week.

[@magda1ena]

After germination of the seeds did you move the bottles to a place with light? Did you use artificial or natural light? How much light time?

[@yuvraj1005]
