Question by Michael W: How do i make a home hydroponics system for under 50 bucks?
I want to grow hot peppers for all year round in my basement. I am not worried about heat output or anything like that. First how do i go about building one, and second where can i find free instructions for a 4-5 plant system. I wanted to make one like the one in stealth hydroponics, the bubbler with the water lines going right into the basket. Someone please help!!!

i will say that your choices as to what kind of system you want will be limited due to your 50.00 budget. A five gallon bucket, small aquarium pump, and a few other materials will do the trick. As far as what kind of system you use…this will depend on how many vegetables you are trying to grow at one time.

Hello
A Manual Hydroponics System can be just any container that holds water filled with clean 3/4 stones, water, and fertilizer used for growing plants.
This can be set-up for under $ 50.
You can often obtain suitable containers for free or a small fee that were used for bulk food grade liquids such as cooking oils.
