How best to grow peanuts hyroponically?

I'm looking to start growing peanuts hydroponically. I did a lot of searching and found that it has been done and works well. But I can't find any real specifics on it. What type of set up, nutrients, lighting or anything else.

This will be my first attempt at hydro and I'm still learning the basics. My set up will be indoors and I would prefer a vertical set up to grow multiple plants without taking up to much space, if possible. If anyone here could help me put together a shopping list, I would greatly appreciate it.

REALLY? I can't imagine how you would do that. What are you supposed to do with the flower stem that normally burrows into the ground/soil to make the peanut pods? What about keeping the soil somewhat dry when the pods are ready to mature? Questions, questions.... :?

Found these two links today, [url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Wzgh9qy30KIC&pg=PA80&lpg=PA80&dq=growing+peanuts+hydroponically&source=bl&ots=MM1Vjz459T&sig=pwOo4AM0lwRhxhN_Q5ro6CHTgY4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9xKWT8nSGZTk6QGJ_5yeDg&ved=0CHUQ6AEwCQ]here[/url] and [url=https://www.indoorgardensalem.org/pages/peanuts_grow_on_a_small_bushy_pl.htm]here[/url]. There's good info I'm there. but I am still confused. I am still very new to hydroponics, and even a simple information seems complex to me. Anyone Here ever set up a hydro peanut system?
