Hydroponics is a gardening method that allows you to grow plants without using soil. Hydroponics systems deliver all of the nutrition and fertilizers that plants need through a nutrient-rich solution that can be supplied to plants in a number of different ways.

The nutrient solution is made up of plant nutrients, supplements, and fertilizers dissolved in water. Since no soil is needed, much less space is required, and it can easily be done indoors.

Soil has two main purposes in soil-based gardening – the first thing is it holds and stabilizes the plant and its roots, and the second is that soil acts as a buffer for fertilizers and nutrients which protects the plants from over-fertilizing and over-feeding.

In hydroponics and aquaponics systems, soil is replaced with a grow medium which serves as support for the plant and its roots.

The most important aspect of growing with hydroponics is not which system you use. Any growing system can produce great results.

The key to any successful hydroponics system is proper care and maintenance which means having correct wattage grow lights, lighting cycles, nutrient solution concentrations, ventilation systems, and other atmospheric controls.

The bottom line is the more factors you can control (light, ventilation, nutrition, etc.) the better your harvests will be. Shop with Aquaculture Hydroponics today and find everything you need in one place to start growing today.
