Hydroponics bay

A hydroponic(s) bay, hydroponic(s) garden, hydroponic greenhouse, or hydroponic pod was the area of a starship, starbase, or planet devoted to hydroponics: the growing of plants in a non-soil medium. Due to their nature, it was not unheard of for them to create swamps in spaces beneath the floor.
The cargo freighter maintained a hydroponics section. ()
As a supplement to the protein resequencers, maintained a hydroponic greenhouse to provide fresh fruits and vegetables for the crew's mess hall. () 
The did not have a hydroponics lab, but the variable environmental controls in cargo bay two could support hydroponics equipment. Shortly after Kes joined the crew in 2371, she volunteered to establish a hydroponics bay in cargo bay two in order to provide fresh fruits and vegetables. She used nitrogenated soil instead of an alternative for Voyagers hydroponics lab. ()
Shortly after hydroponics bay was established aboard Voyager, in 2371, Neelix used some of the vegetables grown there for preparing food for the crew in the mess hall. () Among the many things Kes planted in her hydroponics garden was bantan. () This bay was later superseded by an airponics bay. ()
Deep Space 9 also had a hydroponic garden. () In 2375, Dukat and his Cult of the Pah-wraiths turned some of the lower levels of Empok Nor into hydroponic bays in order to grow food, as they could not activate the replicators. ()
The had a hydroponics section, an essential system, on Deck 11. ()
The had a hydroponics bay, which created a swamp in the Jefferies tube junction below. Cultivation of a Tamarian defrin root was responsible for toxic levels of nitrous oxide within the junction, which caused Ensigns Brad Boimler and Beckett Mariner to hallucinate and forced Ensign D'Vana Tendi to forcibly guide them into the next Jefferies tube. Kayshon frequented the hydroponics bay. ()
