DIY Indoor DWC Hydroponic System Build FULL GUIDE

Since moving into a condo with no real land to garden in, I've really been dreading not having fresh vegetables right outside. I did manage to bring one of my containers, but there is very little space in the little "front yard". Not to mention, it being northfacing, it receives minimal sunlight. There's other problems too, such as some local pests. I've caught frogs chomping on my Chard and seedlings, and aphids have colonized the Kale plants I have inside it.

In my new place, I did have quite a bit of real estate in my bathroom, which I was previously using to store the fermenters for my Kolsch. I figure there would be enough space here to do some indoor gardening.

An even larger hydroponic garden build is coming

I've been working on a new hydroponic system for the past few months. Let's just say that I was very ambitious and didn't have a plan of where to put it. Now with a potential site in mind, this build will be completed in the very near future and put into use. Here's a few photo previews of what to expect.
