The present invention is a hydroponics system with a grotube for drip and ebb and flow methods of plant nourishment. The present invention includes at least one main body with at least one port or grow station. Nutrient fluid is circulated from a reservoir via a pump into the main body through an inlet pipe. The inlet pipe is placed above or below a plant root ball. The fluid then exits the main body via a drain pipe and then returns to the reservoir. The height of the pipe determines the level of nutrient fluid. Plants are grown in removable strainers, contacting the nutrient fluid, with little or no solid growth medium. A removable plate atop the saddle reduces moisture loss from the main body, and inhibits rainfall from entering the main body when used outdoors.

A method for hydroponically growing plants that are typically root-nurtured includes supplying a fluid to a main body with a top through a fill plug, maintaining the fluid at a pre-determined level in the main body with a top, an entrance end and an exit end by a drain pipe, feeding at least one plant with the fluid, the at least one plant disposed on the main body in a saddle with a top that has a strainer that is in contact with the pre-determined fluid level and returning the fluid to a reservoir from the main body. A second method for hydroponically growing plants that are typically root-nurtured includes supplying a fluid to a main body with a top through a dripper is also provided.
