Arduino controlled hydrophonic system

Introduction

Grow strawberries, strawberry

IoT Home growing system

Hydrophonics

Two irrigation categories

1. Sub-irrigation systems: nutrient solution is supplied from below and roots absorb moisture upward
2. Top-irrigation systems: nutrient solution is applied from above through drip emitters or sprayers

Static solution

Continuous-flow solution
