Plant species for hydroponic research project?

I’m going to conduct an experiment on the ability of a plant species to absorb arsenic in water. The experiment will be carried out in a hydroponic aerogarden. I need a plant that will germinate and grow quickly (40-50 days), does not grow very large, and is easy to grow. A commonly edible plant that usually grows in a somewhat moist soil.

How to use hydroponic growing additive Atami Wortel?

I have the root stimulator called Wortel from Atami and on the product it says that i should use 1ml for every liter of water and also i should use it every day for the first week until I replace it with Atami Hydro Booster. My question is, I have a hydroponic drip system with a tank of 50lt. so that means I have to use 50ml (5 caps) of Atami Wortel. Should I use this amount every day for my hydroponic system. This is not specified on the box so I don’t want to give too much for the plants. If anyone can help me it would be great.

Question about Aeroponic gardening system? (10 Points for Best Answer)?

So I was originally interested in Hydroponics (And I still may revert back to that plan depending on the answers I get here) but then I discovered Aeroponics.

Long story short, I’ve VERY interested in pursuing this, but I definitely have a couple of questions and hurdles.

1) I can’t afford to purchase a ready-made system, and I won’t be able to for a very long time. I’ve found instructions on how to make a very decent one of your own, but the only part I don’t understand is how you time it to spray/mist every 15 seconds. Obviously you need a timer, but what kind and how do you attach it?

2) Next, I’ve gathered that there’s some sort of nutrient mix that I’ll need to mix into my reservoir. How much will this cost? I know of several hydroponic shops in my city, but I’ve never gone into one to check.

3) I know of these mandatory things: Keeping the nutrient level right, keeping the pH level right, and keeping the timing of the misters right so the roots stay properly moist. Is there any other major “make or break” thing I should know about that I havent read about?

Thank you very much. (Also, I am very aware there is much more to it than what I’m asking — I’m simply asking about the parts I do not understand. I understand the rest.)

Would a small Hydroponic Vegetable/Fruit garden be profitable?

My mom is struggling cash wise, but she has a large extra bedroom built onto the back of her house. I have recently learned hydroponic gardening.

I think gardening would not only be relaxing for her to do, but might also help bring in a little income if she can produce fresh YEAR ROUND tomatoes, strawberries and grapes (or whatever fruit or veggie) to local neighborhoods.

Do you think this would be a good idea?

How much could she reasonably expect to make from this? I know hydroponic gardens grow fast.

Growing weed…Could use some help.?

Me and my friend are gonna be growin some weed, we know a pretty good amount about it, done quite a bit of research and planning for the past 2 months or so, we have an old shack out at his dads, 15 miles outside of town, so its perfect. We’re using reflective insulation, because we live in wisconsin and it is after all winter. We have the lights that we’re gonna used planned out, we know which hydroponic system we would LIKE to use…

but here are our dilemma’s. We’re not sure how to heat the shack.. like i said we do after all live in wisconsin, and it does get prettyyy fuckin cold in the winters here. but we have a shit ton of reflective insulation cuz his dad is a carpenter, so he has alot of random stuff like that which helps.

but we can’t figure out what to use for a heat source.
Will the lamps generate enough heat? We plan on growing about 3-5 plants max, nothin big but big enough for around here. if the lights would make enough heat, how many lights would we need for 3-5 plants?

That’s all i need to know for now, any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. If your gonna say “Your stupid, why risk it, do you know what that shit does to you, its so bad for you” and all that, please don’t even bother commenting. Yes I do know its stupid, I know the risk, I know what I’m doing and why risk it? cuz for 15-25k, why not.
@IrajE
Thanks man thats what i was hopein to hear lol. what would you suggest trying to maintain the temp at?
