Welcome To Low Tech Hydro

Welcome

This site was created to collect the best plans to build Hydroponic systems, followed by the actual results provided by the systems. I am vigilant on cutting costs down in both construction and operation, since the average crops requires over $50 in fertilizer and chemicals on a $300-$2000 system.

As this being the main goal, I hope to achieve the following sub-goals:

  • How to mix your own Hydroponic fertilizers.
  • How to optimize the fertilizers per plant type.
  • How to build LED HID lighting.
  • How to optimize HID lighting per plant type.
  • Optimize other lighting, including LED and Fluorescent.
  • How to build your own grow chamber.
  • Integration of Hydroponics into fine furniture for the purpose of useful ascetics indoors.
  • Reducing the system size required to provide acceptable results.
  • Build systems utilizing parts and resources from local resellers.
  • Growing enough types and quantities of crop to self sustain your family, with cost comparison to buying from a local grocery store.
  • Experimenting with growing mediums.
