Hydroponics is the process of growing plants in nutrient-rich water solutions. Nanotrasen has standardized the use of state-of-the-art hydroponics technology across their many corporate outposts, and employees are encouraged to disregard any evidence that departments on some stations still include rudimentary soil mounds.

The Hydroponics department is the home of the station's [[Botanist]], who has the extraordinary task of not only producing crops to feed the crew, but catering to the specific needs of the station's many departments and pushing the boundaries of agricultural science. Though any crew member may stop by Hydroponics, you can expect to see the [[Chef]] making visits to request ingredients, [[Cargo]] stopping by to task you with bounties to complete, and the occasional [[Chemist]] requesting medicinal herbs.

=== Hydroponics Tray ===
[[File:Hydro tray.png|64px]]

These interstellar-grade hydroponics systems are where a botanist typically spends most of their time. Examining a tray by {{key press|shift}} + '''Left Click''' will reveal details about its current status, including its water and nutrient levels, the presence of weeds and the status of any plants currently in the tray.

Seeds can be planted in an empty hydroponics tray by clicking with a packet of seeds equipped. Once planted, the seeds will quickly sprout and begin to grow. While the plant is growing you can water it, use Robust Harvest to increase potency or fertilizer to increase the tray's Nutrients. When the plant is ready to harvest the hydroponics tray will show a green indicator [[File:Hydro tray harvest.gif]]. Most plants can be harvested by hand; some more ligneous plants, like Tower Caps, will require the use of a Hatchet. Some plants, such as Apple Trees, can survive multiple harvests. Others, such as Wheat, will need be replanted each time. 

You can Examine a Hydroponics Tray to see its Water and Nutrients. Adding water will increase the Water count over time. Adding fertilizers will increase the Nutrient count over time. Over time, the water and nutrient count will fall if there is a plant in the tray.

|+ Different Hydroponics Tray Indicators
|-
! Image !! Position !! Description
|-
| [[File:Hydro tray harvest.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Green Light, Left </center> || Ready for harvest. Left click to harvest.
|-
| [[File:Hydro tray health.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Red Light, Middle-Left </center> || The plant in the tray is dead or dying. Use a spade to remove the dead plant matter, or attempt to save the dying plant.
|-
| [[File:Hydro tray alert.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Flashing Red Light, Center </center> || The environment is sub-optimal. Inspect the tray to determine the exact issue. If the tray is full of weeds, use a Mini Hoe to clear them out. If the issue is a problem with the atmosphere, temperature or pressure, and it seems to be effecting other plants, call an Engineer or Atmospheric Technician to find the problem. Remember that plant mutations can both change a plant's sensitivity to these factors AND that mutations can cause plants to generate dangerous gases. 
|-
| [[FIle:Hydro tray nutri.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Yellow Light, Middle-Right </center> || The tray is low on nutrients and requires fertilizer. EZ Nutriment is the easiest way to fertilize trays, but harvested produce can also be directly mulched into trays for fertilizer. More advanced methods, like Ammonia from [[Chemistry]] or large amounts of blended Nutriment from produce, also work well.
|-
| [[File:Hydro tray water.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Blue Light, Right </center> || The tray requires more water. Use a water bucket on the tray to refill it.

|-
! Image !! Name !! Usage
|-
| <center>[[File:Bottle.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Bottle</center> || Used to store and transfer small amounts of liquid. Holds 30u. If dropped, shatters.
|-
| <center>[[File:Bucket.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Bucket</center> || Used to store and transfer large amounts of liquid (usually water). If dropped, spills contents on the floor. Holds 250u of liquid.
|-
| <center>[[File:Dropper.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Dropper</center> || A smaller version of the syringe, holds up to 5 units of liquid and dispenses only 1 unit at a time. Vital for careful use of Unstable Mutagen.
|-
| <center>[[File:Bottle.png|64px]]</center> || <center>EZ Nutrient</center> || Can be used to easily add Nutrients to the Hydroponics Trays. 1u of EZ Nutrient adds 2 Nutrient to the tray.
|-
| <center>[[File:Hatchet.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Hatchet</center> || Useful for harvesting Tower Caps and certain mutated plants. A territorial Botanist's best weapon.
|-
| <center>[[File:Bottle.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Left-4-Zed</center> || A unique mutagenic compound that has a chance to increase mutation severity. Best used in concert with Unstable Mutagen. Can be made in the Biogenerator.
|-
| <center>[[File:Mini hoe.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Mini Hoe</center> || Removes weeds from your precious Hydroponics Trays.
|-
| <center>[[file:Agrichemkit.png|64px]]</center> || <center>NT "AgriChem Is Fun" Kit</center> || A kid-friendly chemistry kit with everything you need to get started with botanical science. Includes 30u each of Potassium, Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Ethanol, 5u each Radium and Chlorine, an empty 30u bottle, and detailed and not-at-all condescending instructions on mixing botanical chemicals.
|-
| <center>[[File:Pest spray.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Pest Spray</center> || Non-refillable spray bottle of Pest Killer, takes away any vermin that might be present in the tray, but poisons the plant. As tray vermin aren't currently implemented, this item is currently useless.
|-
| <center>[[File:Plant-b-gone.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Plant-B-Gone</center> || Kills plants and weeds. Best saved for unexpected Kudzu outbreaks.
|-
| <center>[[File:Plant bag.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Plant Bag</center> || For transporting plant materials. When holding the bag, left click the ground near you to store up multiple plants (and seeds) at a time. Left click on a table or counter in order to empty the bag onto it. Right click on the bag to get the option to dump the contents where you are standing. '''Plant Bags only take up a 1x2 inventory slot, fit in backpacks, and can be stored in pockets.''' This makes them extremely useful for moving and storing huge amounts of produce.
|-
| <center>[[File:Plant clippers.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Plant Clippers</center> || The Botanist's best friend. Takes samples from plants, giving you a seed; all of the plant's genetics at the time of clipping will be copied onto this seed. Overuse will decrease the health of the plant. Some plants are multi-harvest plants and so can be clipped at the final harvest. Other plants are single-harvest plants so should be clipped before each harvest, especially if they've been treated with Robust Harvest. If the plant is still seed-bearing, the Seed Extractor is often more useful for mass production of plants.
|-
| <center>[[File:Bottle.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Robust Harvest</center> || Increases plant potency (and size) up to 50 (i.e. half of max potency). Up to 15u to a Hydroponics Tray are needed to be completely sure to get to this value with most plants, although it can be made into a more precise measure by using the dropper. Be warned, as plants significantly modified with Robust Harvest will not produce seeds, making clipping necessary to produce new crops. Has fun side effects if metabolized by Diona.
|-
| <center>[[File:Scythe.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Scythe</center> || Sharp, a more showy but less damaging alternative to the hatchet.
|-
| <center>[[File:Spade.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Spade</center> || Removes living or dead plants from the tray. Can be used as a rudimentary weapon.
|-
| <center>[[File:Swab.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Sterile Swab</center> || Used to transfer pollen from one plant to another for cross-breeding. <br>They are found clean in boxes, or in the NutriMax, and after one single swabbing they're considered used, and will have stored one single, random genetic trait from the starting plant; swabbing again, on a different plant, will transfer said trait and collect another from it. It is so far not possible to know which traits are being taken, or to properly transfer desired genes without using multiple swabs.
|-
| <center>[[File:Syringe.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Syringe</center> || Holds 15 units of liquid at a time. While holding it, press Z to switch 'Draw' and 'Inject' modes. Can draw from bottles, beakers and other containers, if you count people and animals 'containers' too.
|-
| <center>[[File:Weed spray.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Weed Spray</center> || Not refillable spray bottle of Weed Killer, takes away any weeds that might have grown in the tray, but poisons the plant. Using a Mini Hoe has the same effect, and is generally preferable.

== Crates ==
A [[Botanist]] can request various Hydroponics oriented crates from [[Cargo]]. Most often you'll only be requesting Exotic Seeds Crates, you addict.<br>
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Name !! Usage
|-
| <center>Bulk Plant-B-Gone Crate</center> || Contains a total of 1000u of Plant-B-Gone. Completely overkill, unless the station resembles a singular mass of Kudzu.
|-
| <center>Exotic Seeds Crate</center> || The most common purchase a Botanist will request from Cargo. Contains 2 Bungo, Cannabis, Egg-Plant, Fly Amanita, Nettle, Tobacco, and Tower Cap seeds. Some of the seeds are technically contraband, but it's extraordinarly rare for anyone to bat an eye.
|-
| <center>Hydroponics Equipment Crate</center> || Contains the equivalent of a Hydroponics locker. Not a common purchase, everything inside can be purchased at the NutriMax or Hydrobe.
|-
|<center>Medicinal Seeds Crate</center>
|Contains 3 packets of Aloe, Ambrosia Vulgaris, Galaxythistle, Lingzhi, and Poppy seeds.
|-
|<center>MegaSeed Restock Crate</center>
|Contains a MegaSeed restock box to refill your department's MegaSeed Servitor.
|-
|<center>NutriMax Restock Crate</center>
|Contains a NutriMax restock box to refill your department's Nutrimax.
|-
|<center>Seeds Crate</center>
|Contains 12 generic seeds that are otherwise available in the MegaSeed Servitor.
|}

= Plants & Seeds =

Most seeds will be available in the MegaSeed Servitor, but some exotic seeds will need to either be purchased from Cargo or even mutated from existing seeds.

You can Examine a Seed to see its Yield and Potency. 

'''Potency''' starts at 5 out of the Seed Extractor / Vending Machine but can be increased to 50 via 15u of Robust Harvest. Max potency is 100 and can only currently be achieved by mutating plants that already have 50 potency (e.g. via Unstable Mutagen). Potency affects the size of the plant and amount of chemicals it provides in the Reagent Grinder. For example, highly potent medical herbs break down into more medicine and can be eaten for more pronounced effect and higher number of bites. A higher potency in wheat equates to higher amounts of flour produced.

'''Yield''' differs by plant and can be modified by mutation (e.g. via Unstable Mutagen) or by swabbing from plants with different yields (Commonly, Apple Trees or Cocoa Trees are used to give other plants higher yields). Yield affects the number of plants that will be harvested when a planted seed has grown.

Plants can also be cross-pollinated with one another for a chance to transfer traits and other desirable properties. To transfer pollen from one plant to another, use a [[Botanist#Tools|Sterile Swab]]. Avoid pollen cross-contamination! Different species can be crossed to produce hybrids. Since cross-pollination is also probabilistic, it may take several tries for you to transfer the traits that you desire.

== Mutations ==

Plants treated with {{cl|Unstable Mutagen|UnstableMutagen}} will undergo random genetic mutations, and may even mutate into new species. The more Unstable Mutagen a plant receives, the likely it receives mutations. Since many genes are essential to a plant's survival, high amounts of Unstable Mutagen are likely to kill a plant. It's recommended that you use a Dropper to limit the amount of Mutagen you introduce a plant to.

== Mutated Species ==
Some plants can mutate into entirely new species if exposed to Unstable Mutagen early in their life cycle. These Mutated Species often resemble the original species while containing different chemicals, serving different functions, or otherwise radically differing from normal plant life. Mutate with caution, as some of the plants on this list are extremely dangerous.<ref>[https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/blob/e6605a774b0354a7cfde93a3ba84e0cc895af253/Resources/Prototypes/Hydroponics/seeds.yml], Seeds and their possible transformations</ref>

= Chemicals =

A variety of different chemicals have unique effects when metabolized by plants. Some heal plants that have taken damage, some extend their lifespan or restore seed-bearing capabilities, and some (Unstable Mutagen in particular) allow botanists to mutate entirely new species of plants.
