Mini Hydroponics system

A friend started a mini home hydroponics system last week. Started with an ice-cream container, cutting out holes for the 2 inch netpots. Simple box cutter worked like a charm.

Holding as much as 250ml of water. This much water is sufficient for a few set of mustard. He wanted to start with something. Proposed mustard from the kitchen spice rack. Every Indian house has mustard (even if it is a bachelor's condo). Mustard greens start within 2 to 3 days.

He is happy with his greens now. Wants to grow them to fully grown mustard plans. Roots have not come out of the baskets. Some of the tiny greens are dying out. May be due to the root congestion.
