Go to walmart get a cheap aquarium filter, but discard the filter pad. Get a cheap container that can hold water. Get some plant food, and make some trays out of styrofoam to hold the plants and there you got a cheap hydroponics system.

there are many different kinds of hydroponics systems….
be more specific in what kind you want.
otherwise the cheapest and easiest you can make a project hydro bucket with two buckets, an air pump with air stone, and hydroponic growing medium. put lots of holes in one of the buckets, sides and bottom, then fill it up with your growing medium, hydroton or whatever, put water and nutrients and the air stone in the base bucket, drop the other one in and there you go. it is important to use the air stone to keep the water from getting gross, also hygrozyme is the best thing for hydroponic growing, it keeps slime and molds from growing and supports a healthy enviornment in your solution. hydroponics is not simple or easy. its like having a fish tank, but worse, things can go terribly wrong overnight if you arent careful. dirt is a much easier efficient way to grow a plant.

100 bucks, go to a flower shop….

Hydro labs aren’t expensive because of the equipment, it’s because of the up keep.

or craigslist or ebay… Just buy one.. When you get into the industrial stuff where you’re converting an apartment into a lab you can build one.

Put an ivy plant in a bowl of water, they love water. Hydroponics is growing plants without dirt...
