As there are quite a few members who have tried different techniques, I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me to what setup would work really well in this mysterious world of hydroponics. Surface area needs to be fairly compact laterally, since I'm running out of space, but hight isn't really an issue.
For best tips go to the cannibis forums ...the equipment and techniques are exactly the same.
There you can find the best of the best DYI and deals on the internet.
Some of the DYI stuff is genius and I have had quite a few fantastic takeaways for my spinach and tomatoes.
Bananas need a large well lit footprint 8x8 on up.

The only difference ......at the end of the day cannibis is 1800.00 a pound while bananas might fetch 79 Cents U.S

Happy gardening.
