9 1. Automated drip irrigation hydroponics
10 2. Nutrient film technique (NFT) hydroponics
11 Non-circulating, actively aerated system
12 This is SNAP hydroponics
13 SNAP hydroponics uses no pump
14 and it is as easy as and the SIMPLEST hydroponics system so far.

30 1. Produce the seedlings Buy from reliable source
31 - sterilized coir dust - shallow plastic trays with drain holes
32 Good seeds emerge as early as 3 days after sowing
33 2. Making grow boxes Styrofoam box of imported grapes
34 The bottom half of the styro box
35 - Place plastic film liner to prevent leaks of nutrient solution - This will be the tank or reservoir of nutrient solution
36 - Punch/drill holes in the cover/lid of the styro box - This part will hold the seedling plugs in place
37 3. Prepare the seedling plugs
38 Ten- to 15-day old seedlings ready for pricking: 9-15 days after sowing
39 Pricking the seedlings
40 Seedling plugs
41 4. Prepare the grow boxes in the growing area prior to pouring of nutrient solution
42 5. Prepare the nutrient solution SNAP hydroponics fertilizer
43 6. Fill the grow boxes with nutrient solution
44 7. Put lid in place and put in the seedling plugs
45 SNAP starter kit
46 COST of set-up per styro box Styro box..p Plastic liner Styro cups (8 phs) Seedlings (8 pc) SNAP solution (12 L) TOTAL...P YIELD per box (lettuce) = kg Farm gate price P 50.00/kg
47 Floating roots
48 Pest control-- Using tiricide
49 Using pheromone
50 It s harvest time!
51 Putting on a raincoat on the growing box makes it possible to do SNAP hydroponics in the open.
52 Outdoor SNAP hydroponics
53 Selecting the right growing area for SNAP hydroponics
54 At home At the sunny side of your house
55 At the sunny side of an office building
56
57 Or under a rain-shelter in the lawn.
58 As a livelihood project
