HYDROPONIC FLOOD TABLE

摘要

A modular hydroponic flood table arrangement with components that are assembled to create different types of growing arrangements. The arrangement includes a flood table that is typically used as a bottom row flood table from which various frame members are attached. Various accessories are attached to the frame members including a scrog, additional rows of flood tables, lights, tent members, etc. The flood table is also configured to have an aeration channel with an aeration plate from which air bubbles may be passed through the aeration plate in order to aerate the liquid medium contained within the flood table. This helps to promote plant root growth for plants that are placed or growing within the arrangement. An additional feature of the invention includes the attachment of caster wheels to the bottom flood table so that their entire arrangement may be moved around using the wheels.
