Let’s get started
The frame and the reservoir
I made this frame from lumber (2 × 12" × 8')
Here is the measurement
You will need a PVC liner
Scissors or a razor blade knife.
Start by adding the liner
Adding the liner is one of the most difficult steps in assembling the reservoir
Fold the liner at the reservoir corners to get the liner flush with the frame.
It is always best to have excess liner inside the reservoir
instead of making the liner very taut
Once the plastic is in place, staple it to the rim of the reservoir frame
The furring strips are fastened along the rim of the reservoir
to hide the ends of the PVC liner
They add a lot aesthetically
Building a DIY raft is very easy
There are prefabricated rafts available, but they can be expensive.
Measure and cut a section from the foam board using a razor blade knife.
Brush away any loose foam pieces from the cut edge.
Most leafy greens are grown with 6" spacing in hydroponic systems.
Some greens, such as romaine and basil, grow upright and can be grown at a density of 36 plants per 2 × 4' raft.
Measure and mark the plant site positions on the raft and drill 2" holes with the 2" hole drill bit.
Test to see if the raft fits in the reservoir. Make any additional adjustments to the raft size so it comfortably fits inside the reservoir.
Too much exposed reservoir surface can encourage algae growth
Maintenance Most leafy greens can be grown in this system from transplant to harvest without any maintenance of the system.
2- The growing tubes and the drainage

Required Materials:
You will need 12 feet of 4-inch UPVC pipe
03pcs 40 mm Elbows 90°
03pcs 40 mm Tees
04pcs 4’’ End Cup
04pcs Reducer ( 110X40 mm)
3ft 40 mm PVC pipe
Tools:
Safety Gloves
Pipe cutter
Drilling Machine
55 mm hole Saw
Mark the placement of the net pots in the channels.
Drill the holes for the net pots.
Clean the drilled holes
Insert the channels into the crossbeams.
And the reducers on the opposite side.
Drill a small hole for a ¼" vinyl tube.
Next measure and cut the 40 mm pipe
Insert the pipes into the reducer outlet
Install the elbows and tees to direct the water all the way back to the reservoir
3- The irrigation
You will need:
6 ft. ¾" black vinyl tubing
¼" black vinyl tubing
¾" elbow
¾" Tee -¾" valves
barbed connectors
45 W submersible water pump
Place the pump at the corner, close to the power source
The main water delivery line to the channels is a ¾" vinyl tube attached to a submersible pump in the reservoir
Use the clips to fix the tubes
The ¾" delivery line can be run up to the channels along one of the support legs
Use an elbow to direct the tube on top the grow channels
Place the valve at end of the line.
Use the irrigation line hole punch to create four holes in the top of the horizontal ¾" tube
Insert the ¼" double barbed connectors into these holes.
Fill the reservoir with water
Turn on the pump and check for any leaks
4 – FERTILIZERS
Fertilizers can be a very difficult topic.
Almost all growers had to blend more than ten ingredients to create a hydroponic fertilizer recipe that met all their crop's nutrient requirements.
This involved a lot of chemistry, lab tests, and spreadsheets
Plants grown in hydroponic systems can have constant access to nutrients.
I am going to make two parts fertilizer
Part A (Macronutrients)
Calcium nitrate (Ca (NO3)2 4H2O) 1000 g
Potassium nitrate (KNO3) 500 g
Fill your clean container with about 5 l of pure water (RO is the best)
Stir well until completely dissolved
Add to the water until the total volume reaches 10 liters
Label the container
Part B (Micronutrients & sulfate)
Magnesium sulfate (MgS04-7H2O)
Monopotassium Phosphate (KH2PO4)
Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4)
Chelated Iron (Fe-EDTA)
Micronutrient Mix
Use an EC & pH meter to check the starting EC & pH
Add about 500 ml of part A
Add the amount of part B Stir or calculate the water
EC 1.0 to 2.2 (depends on crop& growth stage)
pH: 5.0 to 6.0
if Ph is high add Ph down ( like phosphoric Acid)
if ph too low add ph Up (like potassium hydroxide)
