HYDROPONICS is an art of cultivating plants in water without soil… Hydroponics has been around for centuries and has been used by many to cultivate plants. Over the years it has been researched and developed by many countries and is now highly regarded as a most efficient way to produce crops. Hydroponics growing systems can be set up outside but most commonly they are used indoors for plant cultivation. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR GARDEN INDOORS? Having total control is the answer we simply recreate the great outdoors, indoors. We replace sunlight by using high intensity discharge lighting (HID light) and bulbs of a certain colour spectrum to recreate the light plants need to flourish. Timers simply control the hours of light given to plants indoors, making hydroponics an all year round hobby, the great British weather has no control on this, you do. Controlling the indoor environment to set temperatures can easily be done with the use of fans and ducting to supply fresh air and extract hot stale air from grow room, air movement is one of the most important things to a good grow room and endless crops. You also have total control on nutrients fed to plants at all times, if you put this all together and manage it correctly it will result in extremely fast growth from plants with outstanding yields, as plants are receiving all elements needed at the correct time for them to perform at their full potential. All year round, total control, pest & disease free, fast growth with great yields, hydroponics is the way forward for plant cultivation. There is no soil involved with hydroponics, instead a growing media is used that is chemically inactive and has no nutritional content, there are several types available and most commonly used is Grodan rockwool. Hydroponic grow media provides good aeration to the rootzone of the plant and is one reason for the speed and success with hydroponics. With the media having no risk of pests or disease it makes a great choice for indoor cultivation. Most hydroponic growing systems are designed to re-circulate the nutrient solution, a good design as water is not wasted, or if desired many can be run to waste. There are various methods for hydroponics and many different systems available, NFT - FLOOD & DRAIN - DRIP SYSTEMS - DEEP WATER CULTURE – AEROPONICS |
