Fatalii's simple bucket hydro |

Now this is a simple way to start growing chiles hydroponically!
First, you need to get:
A bucket with lid, hydroponic pot, rockwool cube, nutrients and a simple waterpump.
The waterpump doesn't have to be powerful, the idea is to circulate and oxygenize the solution.
The waterpump I used here is 5 watts and the bucket size is 10L.
Rockwool cubes.
Hydroponic pots.
Nutrients.
Now and then, cut a hole in the lid of the bucket with a drill or cutter,
just make sure the size is correct for your hydroponic pots, you can use any size.
A simple hydro-cutter.
Drill for cutting the lid of the hydro-bucket.
Apply the solution in the bucket, and check the pH-level.
Place the waterpump inside the bucket facing up if possbile.
(not necessary, as long as the surface moves,
it's oxygenizes efficienly enough.)
Prepare the plant for the hydro.
Roots should be soaking in the solution, but don't raise the waterlevel too high.
Just make sure that the roots won't dry even the plant uses some water.
Plug in the power cord and we're done!
You got a simple hydro to start experimenting with.
Here's the basic principle of this system:
I was amazed with the results I got with this simple bucket method:
