What is Hydroponics?

Hydroponics, is a method of growing plants in a water based, nutrient rich solution without the use of soil. The root system is supported using an inert medium such as per-lite, rock wool, clay pellets, peat moss, or vermiculite. The basic principle in hydroponics is to allow the plants roots to come in direct contact with the nutrient solution, while also having access to oxygen, which is essential for proper growth.

There are 6 types of hydroponic gardening systems each with its own economical benefits.

Advantages

The best advantage of growing with hydroponics is the increased rate of growth in your plants. With our hydroponic systems, your plants will mature up to 25% faster and produce up to 30% more than the same plants grown in soil. The systems enable the plants to grow bigger and faster because they will not have to work as hard to obtain nutrients. Even a small root system will provide the plant exactly what it needs, so the plant will focus more on growing upwards rather than focusing on expanding the root downwards.

Our hydroponic systems also use less water than soil based plants because the system is enclosed, which results in less evaporation. Believe it or not, hydroponics is better for the environment because it reduces waste and pollution from soil runoff.

Disadvantages

Although, having a hydroponic systems has many advantages, yet we have listed out some disadvantages to balance things out. The biggest factor for most people is the cost for setting up a moderate size system compared to setting up a traditional farm grown in soil. Then again, with our systems we have tried to breach the cost gap with economical solutions.

Another risk with a hydroponics system is that something like a pump failure can kill off your plants within hours depending on the size of your system. Hence our sensor systems are effective to ensure that these problems are nipped before things get out of control.
