*We received generous donations for all of our supplies to start a hydroponics system to grow lettuce,tomatoes, and peppers.*
Our supplies & Process:
- Rock wool; we used this to plant our seeds to germinate them in order for them to get ready to put in the rocks in our hydroponics system
- Soil cones(root riot); we also used to plant our seeds of tomato, lettuce, and peppers and once their done they will go in the dirt instead of our hydroponics set up because the hydroponics cant handle the sponge-like material that the soil cones are.
- A hydroponics tent; which we needed because if we don't use one, the lights for the growth of the hydroponics plants will spread everywhere instead of being contained into just the area we need for the plants to grow so the plants would be effected negatively because they wont receive all the light that they need in order to grow properly
- Hydroponics light; which is a certain light we needed to help grow the hydroponics plants which we learned is made with special colors of light to help get the plants the important nutrients they need to grow properly.
- Hydroponics system; a filtration system to help grow & plant our seeds.
- Clay rocks; to put in the pots around the rock wool to help the plants get oxygen and not suffocate.
