With schools shut, and the UK on lockdown, I thought, 'What better of a time than now to start a project?' so I set to work looking for ideas. I have had a Raspberry Pi laying around at home for almost three years now, without a proper use for it, so I wanted a project which I could integrate a Pi into.

With a prior ~~intrest~~ in gardening and plants, this 'Hydroponics' idea really caught my interest.

=====My Indoor DWC Hydroponics System=====

[https://www.instructables.com/My-Indoor-DWC-Hydroponics-System/ by EcoMotive in Workshop AUTODESK Instructables]

This instructable will cover the build and operation of a deep water culture hydroponics system. So far, I have successfully grown banana peppers in this setup with complete ease since most of the process is automated.

Also, these plants were grown indoors completely under artificial light that outputs about 60 watts. The entire unit requires about 65 watts and runs for about 16 hours every 24 hours. It costs about 9 cents a day to run it.

When I first wrote this instructable it was about a month before I planted anything in it. Since then I have made many modifications to the hydroponics system such as a third light and a more advanced electrical system. I'm soon going to make a fabric cover for it with built in fans for air circulation. As a result you'll see some old and new pictures mixed together. Please bear with me until I find enough time to re-write the whole thing. This instructable will cover the build and operation of a deep water culture hydroponics system.
