stament Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Morning all, I've had a look at some of the hydroponic threads on here but they all seem to be too advanced for me lol. I know nothing about this topic and am keen to learn the basics and how to set up the greenhouse with all the kit, etc. Is there a basic thread somewhere where I can start? Also be useful if I can see where to buy the kit from and approximately how much it costs. I read I would need a generator which certainly surprised me, clearly my lack of knowledge is shown. Thanks in advance. I'm located in Lamphun. Be interested to see anyone's set-up if they live nearby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ireckonso Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 First thing you want to consider is what you want to grow, then you can decide on what type of grow system to invest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ireckonso Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Lettuce in a deep water raft setup will be your best bet now that the hot weather will be coming soon. This would be a good setup to start with to get some experience - http://www.higreenshop.com/product/18/ชุดปลูกพืช-hw-100. An ec/tds meter to measure nutrient levels and a ph meter are also must haves. Yeah grow some marijuana and have a long stay in thailands best accommodations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritManToo Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Try the Kratky method, no pumps or expensive equipment required. https://www.greenandvibrant.com/the-kratky-method All you need is buckets, water and fertiliser.

Take a look at the farming videos YouTuber "lifeinthailand" uploads on his channel. Paul has a small home garden and raises poultry but is also curious about what the local Thai farm entrepreneurs are get into, like starting hydroponic farms.

The other day they had organic lettuce not much bigger than my fist and they are asking 85 baht! Didn't look as fresh as I would like anyway. ????
