Which seeds, seedlings or plant cuttings did you use for the system?
For the wick hydroponic system, seeds or seedlings suitable for this method include leafy vegetables and herbs.
The system uses a growth medium like cocopeat, coco-coir, sand, or soil in the planter portion.
Seeds are planted after the soil gets soaked through capillary action. The wick made of cotton cloth or thread draws water from the reservoir to the growth medium, providing continuous moisture to the plants.
Explanation
The chapter describes on Page 17-18 that the wick method uses PET bottles where the top portion serves as a planter and the bottom as a water reservoir. After filling the growth medium and ensuring the soil is soaked, seeds or seedlings can be planted. The wick draws water through capillary action.
