An Introduction

Being as this is my first post on hydroponics I thought an introduction was in order.  First let me state that I have no background in hydroponics or gardening.  I have however successfully grown vegetables in the ground and with self watering containers.  My interest is in food production and eventually making it a total off grid system.  The plan is to design and experiment as I go along.  First thing that I am undertaking is a LED lighting fixture.  For a hydroponic setup I am using a 'deep water culture' system.  Each component of my system will be explained in further posts but in the meantime enjoy a picture of my setup.
