Ika nga sa isang kanta, magtanim ay 'di biro. Pero ang pagiging plantito o plantita, kayang kaya raw ma-achieve sa tulong ng imbensyon ng mga estudyante para sa hydroponic plants. Tara, let's change the game!

00:00There are many ways to grow plants.
00:07For some, it's a hobby.
00:09For others, it's a way to eat.
00:13There are many ways to grow plants even in places with no soil and enough space,
00:19such as growing hydroponic plants.
00:22But it's not easy.
00:24The process is meticulous and time-consuming.
00:27That's why it's called high maintenance.
00:31To make it easier to grow using hydroponics,
00:34TEMP Hydroponics was created.
00:39TEMP Hydroponics is an invention designed to monitor the temperature and pH level
00:45of hydroponic plants or plants that live in water.
00:49And even if you don't have a green thumb,
00:51you can monitor the status of the crop you planted
00:55to get the necessary nutrients and grow it properly.
01:01It was developed by Caleb, Luis, and Gian
01:04by the Collegio de San Juan de Letran.
01:06We're joined by the team that created TEMP Hydroponics.
01:11Our prototype is very useful for communities where there's little space available.
01:17Our prototype is small and it's very accessible to many.
01:22You can place it in a window or in just a table.
01:25Walk me through the invention. How does it work?
01:29This is the temperature sensor.
01:31Wow, nice!
01:33It's also powered by a power outlet.
01:35You can also use a power bank for it.
01:37Currently, sir, the temperature that is being read is not optimal for the plants.
01:42We modified the temperature so that it would perfectly fit for lettuce plants.
01:47So the ideal temperature for this would be 17 to 24 Celsius.
01:52So if it's too low, it would light up the blue LEDs.
01:57If it's too high, it would light up the red LED.
02:00If it's optimal, both LEDs would turn off.
02:03Another important part of this invention is the pH sensor
02:07that would monitor the alkalinity and acidity of the water.
02:11It is very important that our water is not affected by the pH level of our crops.
02:17In other words, the mineral or alkalinity of this can't be too high
02:22or the acidity of this can't be too high or too low.
02:25But wait, there's more!
02:27Temp Hydroponics can also monitor water impurities through the electric conductivity sensor.
02:33This invention is not simple.
02:36Their team studied this meticulously.
02:40One of the challenges for me is to calibrate the sensors.
02:44You need a mathematical equation to calibrate it.
02:49But this is just the beginning of their journey as young inventors.
02:53Their prototype will level up.
02:57We also want to automate the placement of nutrients in our prototype
03:02so that before the homeowners leave their homes,
03:07they will automatically place the nutrients that the plants need
03:10so that the plants won't die while they are fighting at home.
03:15And that's it, Kapuso!
03:16Another innovation that can provide convenience to people with green thumb
03:22and also to those who are interested in planting.
03:25For GMA Integrated News, I'm Martin Aviar,
03:28Changing the Game!
