Post subject: hydroponics

I would like to start a simple hydroponics growing system. I wonder if anyone knows if this is done much in Shanghai and also if there are any stores that sell supplies.

Thanks

*note* for your "tomatoes" to bud, you will have to slowly change your lighting cycles to simulate the sunset/sunrise change. start with 18 hours of light, and decrease it slowly to less than 12 for this delicious product to appear. Wink

ps. powder, you ARE growing something legal right?

you can easily put together a system from supplies at B&Q and aquarium supply stores - getting the nutrient solution might be more of a challenge but maybe the "grow aid" chemicals at the dirt market will work
