Abstract

Fulfillment of current food must already be done independently. Method hydroponics is an alternative as a food fulfillment efficient addition. This method can be done anywhere without no depending on the area land. In the process of farming by the method of hydroponics then you must be able to control the temperature, humidity, PPM, and pH of water. The application of hydroponics is not conventionally so gives optimal results. Smart hydroponics is an implementation steps technology for easy monitoring and controlling. Method this hydroponic smart will process done by monitoring and controlling pH, Temperature, humidity, and PPM. The stability of some growth determinant plant flowers will give quality and quantity of results the maximum. The stable pH of raw water using the smart hydroponic method can be maintained between 5.5 and 6.5. In the smart method, this hydroponics Average temperature can^t be controlled to exceed 250 C. Requirement next is on PPM can be controlled according to the type of plants and also the age of the plant stably. Need PPM in implementation of these smart hydroponics controlled fish between 1050 and 1400. Of several variables that can be kept according to plant needs, it can improve quality and plant quantity. This matter is proven in one tested plant try (kale) by applying a smart hydroponic method this can be harvested in more than 2-3 days fast with the method conventional. As result, it can be obtained time quality improvement in the shorter crop by 5 - 10% of the hydroponic method conventional.
