Hobby Hydroponic Gardening Indoors & Out

For me there is only one fresh herb i would like to grow at home. =)

interesting. that could create a garden in the middle of the desert. third world countries could feed themself

nice, just one thought since you now have water near that electrical outlet, maybe you should have a GFI circuit there ?

Yeah, a whole $10 per month. *rolleyes

Its a step in the right directiong though... You have to get in you car and drive to the store and buy a bag of dried/fresh herbs etc. that were shipped to the grocery store in a transport, which burns fuel... and that came from a place that is likely growing them using hydroponics or classic farming methods... so whos being green now? i think the guy that grows his own produce cuts a few elements out of the equation. Also what if they are ran using wind power or solar power?

Great video very nicely done. please post another update. check out vidoe please as well.

Make sure if you are using a timer, that you also add an relais to the system. When an HPS lamp powers up, it takes a lot of energy which the timer most of the times cant handle, and it will burn the contactpoints stuck. When adding a relais the power will go trough the relais and not trough the timer, sparing your timer and your flowers :)

excellent.............

There are new light bulbs now with lower energy cost

The light bulb's shown in this are most likely metal halide.
Which are more efficient then CFL's.
CFL's are around 50 lumens per watt, Metal halides are around 130 lumens per watt.
