Hydroponic System Process
Define the Problem
My groups Hydroponic system was the wick system! This was one of the most simple hydroponics system therefore a huge pro is that we didn't have to bring in a lot of materials and it was very simple and fast to build therefore my group and would finish our systems and help other groups with their. Although a con to the wick system would be that any vegetation that we would plant would was to be something small if not we would have to replant the crop since our component was very small.
Research
All we had to research for my groups hydroponics system was what materials we needed in order to build our system, what seeds we could plant in it and exactly how the system worked with that information we were able to each build our own system.
Design
The process of figuring out a design thatwould work with our circumstances was pretty easy. We all agreed on a material list and plan of what method we were using. The materials we used were bottles for each, string, felt and seeds. Our material list was pretty short due to the simplicity of our system so therefore there wasn't need for excessive planning for our hydroponics system.
Select Best Solution
Since our system was so simple our first try worked perfectly fine and we didn't really have issue with any of the ones we made other then one untying and unraveling from the string in our green house. A solution was using more string and double knotting it which was our mistake in the beginning
Prototype
We ended up helping other groups with the same system and we were able to become pros at making these systems.
