Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants by using water and emphasizing the growing nutritional needs of plants. Water needs in hydroponic plants are less than the water needs in cultivation using soil media. Mostly field farmers turn to hydroponic farmers. The activity carried out by hydroponic farmers is to add nutrients whose pH has been adapted to planted crops and water so that the plants grow well and quality. The compact system itself is an integrated system, the system combines hardware components as well as software that is used to detect the height Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants by using water and emphasizing the growing nutritional needs of plants. Water needs in hydroponic plants are less than the water needs in cultivation using soil media. Mostly field farmers turn to hydroponic farmers. The activity carried out by hydroponic farmers is to add nutrients whose pH has been adapted to planted crops and water so that the plants grow well and quality. The compact system itself is an integrated system, the system combines hardware components as well as software that is used to detect the height of water in the water tank, control the pH of water mixed with nutrients and the flow of water delivered to plants so that plants can grow optimally. In this study, the author created a compact system of mixing and distribution of Arduino-based hydroponic nutrients as a tool that can assist hydroponic farmers in stirring nutrients and then distributed to plants previously done manually
