Simple hydroponic system consists of water tank with nutrient solution, pot with grow media sitting on top and a usb-powered water pump connected to a sprinkler. Watering is automated by using simple timer or smart socket. Printed with PETG filament.
You'll need water pump, 6 mm inner diameter tubing and timer / smart switch/socket.
As a grow media i'm using LECA pebbles and nutrient solution is made from General Hydroponics/Terra Aquatica two-part nutrients.
