Getting started–nutrient solution question

9:45 am in Seeking Advice by teamlev

i just learned about this project in Bust and am so excited to try it out. i wonder about running the electric pump around the clock, though it sounded like, from another post, this is a necessary step for the hydroponic plants.

i had another question about the nutrient solution. is this like compost tea? is it something i can make at home or will i have to continually reorder the nutrient stuff as i maintain my “farm”?
