A receptacle for growing a plant or plants by submerging the roots in a solution. The receptacle is novel and useful yet unobvious because it employs a unique method for verifying the solution level via a transparent section or sections which is more rapid, leak free, and preventative of microorganism growth, yet, permits for the necessary aeration and evaporation control. The remainder of the receptacle is opaque to prevent an undesirable amount of light from penetrating the receptacle.
