hydroponics systems
Using hydroponics systems, mineral
nutrients are dissolved in water and feed directly to a plant's
root system allowing the plants to focus their energy into growing
mostly upward, promoting quicker growth, faster harvests and higher
yields.
Hydroponics
systems are used year-round both indoors and outdoors
for growing marijuana, herbs, foliage and food items. Hydroponics
setup do not use soil but instead, use an inert growing medium
to anchor a plant's roots.
The different types of hydroponics systems available
include…
Nutrient Film
Hydroponics
gardening utilizing an oxygen rich nutrient solution, is an
ideal system for a wide range of crops including lettuce, strawberries,
herbs, flowers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash and cucumbers.
Drip Watering
Popular with small commercial hydroponics
growing operations, hobbyists and schools this system is designed
to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, herbs and flower crops.
Aeroponics
Excellent for starting large crops of seedlings, transplants and
cuttings or growing plants or crops to full maturity, this system sprays
the roots with nutrient-rich water.
Ebb and Flow
Popular for rooting cuttings, germinating seedlings and vegetating
young plants which are fed automatically with a simple flood and drain
watering method.
Passive Systems
Great for home or office this system can grow any type of vegetative,
flowering or fruiting plant. The plant determines when it needs water
and nutrients.
Relatively simple to operate and very easy to maintain,
hydroponics systems provide the right conditions allowing
plants to grow between 2 and 4 times faster than those in soil.
