This project aspired to have an unconventional and alternative source of photosynthesis and utilized electricity as another method of cultivating plants. This was made in order to grow plants indoors in the same way that they are grown normally outdoors where they are exposed to sunlight. Specifically, the parameters used included the moisture level and the voltage going through the soil and the scheduled time when the power supply and water pump will function. To grow the plants, the proponents set up a layer of 10 columns with water pumps and electrodes connected to them. The light-emitting diode bulbs were attached to the inside top of each layer. The prototype was tested and data were gathered from the experimentation. The results from the grown plants showed that the plant that grew the tallest was the one which was applied with 3 volts while the plant that grew the shortest was the plant that was applied with 10 volts. Based on the findings, the right LED lightings and the amount of voltage can be a potential alternative for growing plants.
