Welcome to the Onboarding for Hydroponics!

FAQs and Common Issues

What is Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants using water-based nutrient solutions instead of soil. Hydroponics could be the future of agriculture (dare we say aquaculture) because of hydroponic gardens’ compactness, fast growth, resistance to pests, and lower water consumption.

Our Goals

As a PInT subteam one of our primary goals is to help you learn and grow as individuals by doing. If you’re not passionate about any of the existing subprojects that we’re working on, then talk to your lead and we can find a fit for you.

Automation’s goal is to create a living garden; that is, a garden that can give itself more water or nutrient substrate when it’s needed. We’re implementing this using a microcontroller that should check plant metrics (pH, water content, etc.) and deliver the nutrients a plan needs to survive. We plan to allow the community to interact with the hydro wall without needing to be there in person, so we have designed an API and are constantly improving our API and frontend dashboard so that we provide a good user experience.
