Hydroponics Supplies
Following are some of the basic
hydroponics supplies and
equipment you will need. Naturally
not everyone will need the same
things. It will depend on the type
of system you intend to setup.
Most systems require:
-
a reservoir or large basin, basically a big basin that holds the water and nutrient solution in
place
-
an aerator and pump to move the water solution around and keep it oxygenated
-
means for holding the plants above the solution, such as a tray or net. You don't want to drown the
plant
-
-
Fan to keep area at about 75 degrees. Including water
-
Growing medium Purchase a commercial medium, or mix your own from a kit or chemicals.
-
Add a cloner, and you will have a full complement of hydroponics supplies.
It does take a bit of an investment to get started. Take a little time to assess the space and
budget you have, determine what you want to grow, and find out which supplies are available.
Make a list before you buy and check prices. Pricing varies wildly so make sure you aren't being
taken.
