Hydroponics Starter Kit

This kit serves one of our pillars: Production — technology in the service of nature.

Grow real food with no soil at all. Sprout seeds in a sponge, sit them in a net cup over a bucket of nutrient water, and watch lettuce grow faster and cleaner than in any pot. This is the famous Kratky method — no pump, no electricity — your first lesson in how plants really feed, and how to grow food on a balcony using a fraction of the water a garden needs.

What's inside the kit?

• Hydroponic Grow Sponges (50 pcs) — Grow sponges where seeds sprout
• Hydroponic Net Cups — Net cups that hold the plants
• Hydroponics Clay Pebbles 1.8kg — Clay pebbles to anchor the roots
• A+B Hydroponic Nutrient Solution — A+B nutrient — the plant food
• 10L Bucket with Lid (Reservoir) — 10L reservoir bucket with lid
• Hydroponic Water pH Meter — pH meter to tune the water
• Lettuce Seeds 15g — Lettuce seeds to grow

How the idea works

Every part in the kit has a job. Assembled in the right order they stop being loose parts and become a working system — one you build yourself, understand at every step, and see the result of with your own eyes. The included build guide walks you from zero to running.

Your journey: from kit to competition

• Build — assemble the kit and get it running.
• Understand — learn why each part is there and how it works.
• Improve — modify it, add a sensor, tune it, try your own idea.
• Make a project — turn the experiment into a project that solves a real environmental problem.
• Compete — enter your project into local and international competitions.

A good fit for tracks such as:

• Production / الإنتاج
• Water / المياه

What you'll learn

• How plants feed on dissolved minerals instead of soil
• The Kratky passive method — growing with no pump or power
• Why pH controls how well roots absorb nutrients
• How hydroponics saves up to 90 percent of the water of soil farming

Extend & innovate

Move from lettuce to herbs and strawberries, add an air pump for deep-water culture, or connect sensors to make it smart. Compare growth speed against a plant in soil.
