Friend N got gifted a nice aero garden, which is a hydroponic gardening system for living rooms and kitchens by an American friend of his.
It's been growing a couple of tiny plants and germinating herb seeds. Some of them are rather slow to come up. The motor is slow and steady, has never disturbed me. I really wonder what the motor is even doing, where the water is going from where. Maybe it's just being aerated so the roots get oxygen. Unclear.
I've done a lot, and my that i mean A LOTTT of research on hydroponics and aeroponics systems in the past. I started growing sprouts and microgreens as a practice for my hydroponic system. In retrospect if I'd just gone to the technique I might have gotten somewhere.
In either case, the lights bother the heck out of me during the day when I stare at them, the full spectrum lamp that comes with the setup, it'd probably be really good for my eyes and head health if I didn't look at that general direction. The plants gotta eat though I guess.
Shit I'm making myself one of those and putting 'em out in prominent display in my next living abode, wherever it may be, however it might be.
