For hydroponic leeks I use the usual Kratky system (DWC).
Basically I grow into containers, and the let the leeks absorb the nutrients directly through their roots.
The containers are shielded with a sheet of black and white polyethylene film and with black paint to avoid the passage of light or heat.

Remember that this system is subject to climate events, rain in the first place. As soon as it rains part of the rain goes into the buckets and consequently increases both the levels (of solution) and the pH.

For the realization of this system I needed:

no. 6 10-liter buckets
no. 1 40-liter container
no 30 plastic cups
an expanded PU plateau
expanded clay
30 leeks plants

Happy growing!
