Never Buy Lettuce Again - The Indoor Soil-less Lettuce Grow System, DIY Clean & Easy! 4K

Let me share with you how I always have fresh lettuce, inside the comfort of my home for LESS than the cost of store bought (after you DIY build your system). Growing hydroponically simply means we use grow lights and water , along with nutrient solution and rocks, to grow just about anything!

Here are the supplies I used to build my system:
*Lights
**GE Slimline Lights, 36 inch
You can get these on Amazon or Home Depot. HD has a better price ( I will not get credit for your purchase at HD but I want you to do this at a good price! )
.

Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-36-in-Super-Slim-Linkable-Fluorescent-White-Under-Cabinet-Light-10460/202771252

Here are the bulbs I use:
https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/4943/F-21T5865F.html

For most cost effective results, use bulbs with the highest lumens & lowest watts which are also 6500K. Mine work fine for only 4.5 square feet, and 2 bulbs per shelf.
Lumens measures light brightness, wattage measures energy usage (low watts can still be very bright). If your location is not in front of a sunny window, I recommend getting high lumen bulbs (such as this): https://www.1000bulbs.com/category/f54t5-high-output-fluorescent-tubes-6500k/

I recommend using a 3 prong outlet adaptor to plug in your lights. The one I use: http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-3-Outlet-Heavy-Duty-Grounded-Adapter-Orange-54541/203742102 You can also get them on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2kzWtdH

Here is a detailed video where I built the boxes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zftmj7g3LuY

I also used mylar food bags on the bottom of each box to help the light reflect. I did not mention it in the video because I am unsure if it makes enough of a difference to warrant purchasing them (I had them already). 25 Bags - http://amzn.to/2jtOyh8

I used 2 x 8 lumber for my boxes. if I were to redesign them, I would use 1 x 8. The 2 x 8 is too heavy to tend.
