| Well, I'm adding some plant links to the left. These are some of my favorite "ponic" sites. I've always been amazed at the possibilities of growing plants hydroponicly, aeroponicly, and ultraponicly. |
June 2008 Update:
Lillies (Hydro)
Mid-2006 Update:
Melons (Hydro)
Straight from seed my first melon growing hydroponicly.
Pollinization is the most difficult part, and because of that I had to say goodbye to the melon.
Tomato (Hydro)
I ran out of room and it rained very hard on it's first night outside. (but it's still alive and growing amazingly well as a bonzai tomato) More pics soon!!! |

Some parts got burnt because it grew so much it went into the light. |

All three Hydro projects side by side one month after planting. |

Learning to grow plants hydroponicly is much easier than you might expect. Keep an air supply to the water. (aquarium air pump) Keep light just as normal or better. (I use a 65watt compact fluorescent) |

Little Pedro's on the way
A 4" Cutting plus rooting hormone equals crazyness!
Salvia Divinorum (Soil & High Humidity)
I had to give up on Salvia Divinorum, they were just too damn picky!

Most hydro plants shown here are grown in a Sunny D bottle covered with black tape or any light blocking material. Use the handle to insert the air line and to add more water and nutrients later on. Keeping the project cheap is the main goal. In the back of our minds there must be a way to feed those in need. In Africa there is plenty of sun to grow food hydroponicly, think about it. You could build a tall sun-tower round in shape (so it does not cast a shadow upon itself)paint it white to reflect the heat from the sun, similar to the ones the shaolin, romans, muslims, and hindi people built, the exact opposite concept of a lightnouse. You wouldn't need much water growing quadraponicly. This tower could harness the sun of Africa and use it to grow amazing amounts of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
