Vertical Farming & Hydroponics Workshop
About the Hydroponics Workshop
The Vertical Farming & Hydroponics Workshop is an immersive, hands-on program that teaches participants how modern soil-less farming systems are designed, assembled, and optimized for continuous food production. This workshop is ideal for biology students, green-tech enthusiasts, innovators, eco-clubs, and beginners who want to learn sustainable farming methods. By the end of the workshop, every participant will build and operate a fully functional hydroponic farming system.
🧩 Workshop Modules – Hydroponics Workshop
📘 Hydroponics & Vertical Farming Basics
Learn the science behind soil-less farming, plant nutrition, pH control, EC levels, lighting requirements, water flow systems, and sustainable urban farming concepts. All fundamentals are explained in simple and practical ways to help participants understand the complete working of hydroponic systems.
🔧 Hands-On Hydroponic System Building
Build a working hydroponic setup: nutrient reservoir preparation, water pump installation, net pot placement, grow tray assembly, tubing pathways, and LED grow-light arrangements. Step-by-step guidance ensures a fully functioning farm structure.
🧪 Nutrient Mixing & Water Management
Learn how to prepare nutrient solutions, monitor pH and EC, maintain water cycles, manage nutrient delivery, prevent algae formation, and maintain ideal plant growth conditions using real-time testing techniques.
🌱 Plant Growth & Monitoring
Understand seed germination, seedling transfer, lighting cycles, plant spacing, growth tracking, disease prevention, and environmental balancing. Participants learn how to maintain a continuous and efficient food-growing system.
