My "Single-Unit Hydroponic Grow Bin" 2.0

This thread will show how to build the grow bin and then follow along for six weeks as the example veggies grows.

(This is an upgrade from my proof of concept found here: infosec.exchange/@tinker/11132…)

The goal of this grow bin is:

• To be small enough to fit in most places (the diameter of the base is 7 inches).
• To be self contained with everything needed to grow a plant.
• To be passive / automated / hands off - plant the seed, wait six weeks, harvest.
• To be exceedingly cheap (with bulk supplies, the individual unit cost comes out to about $10)
• Not require a lot of maintenance.
• To be simple to make.
• To be powered by a wall socket or USB battery (for folks charging batteries using one off solar panels).

This answers the obstacles of hydroponics being portrayed as requiring an expensive startup cost, having dedicated or expansive space for hydroponic growing, require special or complex equipment, or special knowledge and skills.

IT'S ADHD FRIENDLY!!!!

Start growing whenever you get around to it. Doesn't require following growing seasons.
Once you start growing, you can forget about it until it's done growing.

This grow bin utilizes the Kratky method of hydroponics.

(See how-to build in following thread.)
