A typical set of Lettuce by Hydro farming method
As human civilization is growing in fast pace now it's time to act accordingly to cater the need of vast community in healthy and organic way. For this requirement Hydroponic system of cultivation is need of time. Many life style deseases are on sharp rise due to chemically treated veggies and fruits we are consuming daily. I couldn't not Stop myself by advising, be mindful always on your dining table when something is being served to you, just check it's origin and methodology of farming.
Advantages
1.Uses nutrients and minerals mixed in water thus full control on growth of plants.
2.Optimization of water consumption -requires very less water than soil farming, hence improving sustainability factor too. Re-use of water is possible in best manner.
3.Outdoor as well as indoor farming makes it comprehensive hence no space restrictions
4.All requirements of plants could be conttrolled and monitored easily. Very easily we can grow using organic nutrients.
5.Temperature controller prohibits sun burn or other heat attack so stress free plants.
6.Very little or less attack of insects thus Chemical free production with high yield.
7.Last but not least aroma and taste can beat and are best of it's class than conventional farming technique.
Methodology
Unlikely to conventional method of farming it doesn't require soil.
Following set up to be needed
For 100 nos of plants suppose Lettuce π₯¬ π₯¬ or Tomato π
π
we need
4Inch dia PVC pipe or NFT channels -
10nos/ 4meter each.
Some connecitng pipes of lesser dia will required depends on space.
A feeding tank and collection tank with
pH meter and thermometer π‘οΈwill be required.
100nos 3inch small net potts ποΈποΈποΈ with inert media like pebble stones and industrial wool to hold the plant firmly.

Vertical method for limited space
How to make and start
You may do it by yourself watching YouTube DIY's videos related with the topic or may take professional help to set and training. Although it's very simple technique but we should carefully adopt all methods of it to get desired results.
After assembling all fixtures with NFT's (Nutrients Flowing Tubes) fill the water mixed with liquid NPK 3:2:1 respectively & other liquid nutrients in small quantities (pls see instructions on packs it may vary brand to brand)
where N stands for Nitrogen, P for Phosphorus & K for Potassium. One can order online thru Amazon NPK and other required nutrients even a complete system is available too.
If growing indoor LED lights will be required more 6000kelvin power.
Seeds quality should must be taken seriously as it affects taste and yield.
Briefly I have mentioned about this farming technique. I assure you that after getting started you may enjoy healthy as well as tasty veggies and fruits with little effort throughout the year. A totally clean hygienic food we may get. We can grow many kind of veggies and fruits like strawberry ππ Tomato π
π
etc
