Reservoir: This is a large container that holds the nutrient solution used to feed the plants. The size of the reservoir would depend on the water requirements of the plants and the desired duration between refills. It should be capable of holding enough water to irrigate all 28 pots.
Water Pump: A submersible water pump is used to circulate the nutrient solution from the reservoir to the plants. The pump should have sufficient capacity to deliver an adequate amount of solution to each pot, ensuring proper irrigation and nutrient delivery.
Piping and Tubing: The system will require a network of pipes and tubing to distribute the nutrient solution from the pump to each pot. The pipes can be arranged in a way that allows for easy access to the individual pots, ensuring an even distribution of the solution.
Growing Trays or Channels: The pots can be placed in individual growing trays or channels designed specifically for hydroponics. These trays or channels are usually made from materials such as plastic or PVC and should have a drainage system to prevent waterlogging. Each tray or channel can accommodate multiple pots, depending on their size.
Growing Medium: Hydroponic systems can use various growing media, such as perlite, coconut coir, or expanded clay pellets, to support the plants. The growing medium holds the plants in place while allowing the nutrient solution to flow around the roots. The type of growing medium used will depend on the specific plants being grown.
Nutrient Solution: A balanced nutrient solution, consisting of essential minerals and elements required for plant growth, is prepared and added to the reservoir. The nutrient solution is continuously circulated through the system, providing the plants with the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.
