Abstract
The purpose of this project was to find a faster way of agriculture than conventional farming.
The procedures to this project were First build the hydroponics system using a RotoZip some drills and drill bits. We then built the soil system using soil and planting pods. We then set up the grow lights for the plants. I measured the plants every week one day each and found that the hydroponics system works better than the soil system and typically grew 4cm taller than the soil plants.
My conclusion is that the hydroponics system was the fastest and most efficient system and that my hypothesis was proven correct.

Conclusion
My conclusion to this project is that the Hydroponics system worked better than the soil system. The hydroponics system had at least a height twice as high as the soil system. I know that the hydroponics system is hard to make but it is much more efficient that the soil based on the data.
Pros:
1. The hydroponics system system was much more efficient
2. The system wasted no water
3. Plants had a higher chance of thriving
Cons:
1. Some what expensive
2. System is slightly hard to configure and keep stable
3. Plants had a more probable rate of drowning

Purpose
The purpose of this project is to find a more sustainable source of agriculture that grows better. Because soil is conventional but has risk for bugs we wanted to find a way around the bugs and the time. WE chose hydroponics.
Hypothesis
My hypothesis is: If we have constant flow and nutrients to the plants in the Hydroponics system the will grow more because they will be constantly fed and have nutrients.
The control group will be the regular soil system.
