Started the first fall cucumber hydroponic plant.

I am not going to risk it, have bought a bunch of small solar panels enough to power.a USB based air pump while the sun is shining and will start it in an isolated 15L paint bucket instead of the 5L one i used for the tomato

Have aot of work before it is ready, clean, wash and sterilize all the buckets, make a solid holder for 2 small 12V solar panels, add the voltage regulator and acould of left over super caps to make sure I have a little storage.

Make a small box and make it sun, rain and water proof. I may end up going to the dollar store and buy some containers and paint them and cover them with aluminum foil before painting a an uv protective later.

I'm hoping to get a lot of small cucumbers to picke. Will set up 4 system with 4 different solutions to document their diffences and the amount of vegies i get from each (can be difficult because I'm rapidly running out of space on my already crowded balcony.

Let the experience begin!
