GRAVITY FED PLANT SUPPORT GROWING TANKS FOR HYDROPONIC GROWING OF PLANTS CONSISTING OF LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LEDS) LIGHT SOURCE

摘要

A Hydroponic system consisting of multiple tanks (A/B) one ofwhich is adapted to supply a mineral nutrient solution (B) to theplant support growing tanks (A).The mineral nutrient solution feeds lower tanks via feeder tubes(D).The plant support and growing tanks (A) control the level ofnutrient solution via float shut off valves (C).The growing tanks can be optionally fitted with aerators (E) toassist in the dispersing of the nutrient solution.The nutrient solution is contained in the upper tank (B) andgravity feeds the nutrient solution to the lower plant supportgrowing tanks (A). The float valves (C) in the plant supportgrowing tanks (A) open and close to keep the level of nutrientsolution to the desired level.These tanks can be mounted on racks or can be attached to awall surface or placed on stairs.
