2nd Hand Hydroponics

Since it’s going to be another mini circuit breaker, getting out in the hot sun is not a preferred mode to operate.

I’ve made an offer to buy a second hand hydroponics system to try out. I tried to follow the existing process after giving the system another wash. After one night, I decided to perform a pilot project, that is instead of four tier system, I will use two tier first and try with my existing plants. Tomatoes, Kang kong, Bak Choy before I plant the premium species.

Existing AB solution

Initially, I mixed the solution in a 2 litre milk bottle. Solution A with 14 ml, mixed with 2 litre water, then after awhile, add 14 ml of solution B.

Precautions

Things I fear: breeding mosquitoes so I seal up every possible entry for the bugs

Recycled Paper came with a new pair of shoes
Sealing the top of the netcup with stickers

The objective is to grow kale and rocket arugula successfully
