Tinker ☀️<p>Regarding indoor hydroponics...</p><p>Most of my power consumption is through my grow lights (still way cheaper to grow than to buy at the grocery store).</p><p>I've thought about solar panels and batteries etc... but that costs a lot of money (I havent found a non-scam solution - still researching, but let me put this down for a second).</p><p>So I started thinking... instead of lining my roof or side walls with solar panels to power indoor LED grow lights...</p><p>...why not just install light collectors outside and funnel that light directly into my house and on too of my plants with fiber optics?!?!</p><p>Basically run cabling through my house to wall literal light sockets. And attach further cabling from there to my plant shelves and setups.
