PLuGHiTz Live - Special Events (Video): Grow Your Own with Opcom Indoor Hydroponics


Listen Later

Episode Tease
When I hear "hydroponics" I always think of sci-fi and long missions to deep space. Fortunately, hydroponics is much more rooted in reality than the genre suggests, and this brings us neatly to Opcom Farm (http://www.opcomfarm.com/) and their indoor hydroponics systems. Todd digs with Ray from Opcom and discovers how to garden in your garage.
Opcom offers everything needed to setup a home hydroponics garden except the space. Even then, the GrowPod (http://www.opcomfarm.com/product.php?Item=7&id=241) can create space within another area, such as a garage, for the racks and shelving needed for a hydroponic garden. These days all the lights are LED, so energy costs are kept low, and there's a range of units from the simple O2-Light (http://www.opcomfarm.com/product.php?Item=7&id=238) to a full GrowWall (http://www.opcomfarm.com/product.php?Item=7&id=243). It all depends on the budget - a GrowPod starts at $2000.
There's plenty of information on Opcom Farm (http://www.opcomfarm.com)'s website and some products are available from Amazon.com (http://amzn.to/2Hpg7C1). Others are on pre-order for delivery in 2018.
