Hydroculture system

A pliable sheet material being a development of a planting cup for use in conjunction with hydroculture systems, said development configured for constructing therefrom a planting cup configured with a side wall formed with a plurality of openings and extending between an open bottom base and an open top base.

A planting cup carrying member, configured for removably retaining a plurality of planting cups or seedlings, said planting cup carrying member comprising a planar member having top face and a bottom face, with a plurality of cup openings disposed through said carrying member, each configured to support therein a planting cup, wherein the carrying member is further configured with a flotation arrangement for retaining a substantially fixed distance between the bottom face and a water bed surface, and further wherein an air flow passage extends at least at the bottom face of the vicinity of each cup opening.

A grow bed module for a hydroculture system for supporting one or more planting cup carrying members, said grow bed module made of a liquid impermeable material and being configurable between a collapsed position and a deployed position, and further wherein said water bed is sustained at the erected position over a modular support truss.

A filtration system for treating water of a hydroculture system, the filtration system comprising a filtering media received within a water treating container, said filtering media configured as a labyrinth-like flow path, whereby the filtered water flows along said flow path, and sediments carried with the water encounter the filtering media where they are prevented from exiting from the water bed and thus sink to the bottom of the water bed, whereby filtered water flows out of the container.
