Top 3 Hydro Systems for Indoor Growing – Getting Better with Hydroponics

Indoor gardening like interior designing requires a lot of effort and dedicated time; you just cannot leave things hoping they’ll happen on their own. You can, however depend on a few things that will help your indoor garden beautify over time and speed up the growth – Hydroponic Systems.
Hydroponic System – Everything You Need to Know
The system or the setup you start you indoor gardening is a hydroponic system. The functionality of hydroponic systems may seem complicated at first, but once you understand them, you'll see how they work is actually really quite simple. There is a range of hydroponics systems but this post will specifically focus on the three best ones – Aeroponics, N.F.T., and Deep Water Culture.
Here are the details about each of these –
1.    Aeroponics: Out of the many hydroponic systems that are used, aeroponics is the simplest and the most convenient to use, despite being completely technical. The advantages of aeroponic systems are they typically use little to no growing media. The roots get maximum oxygen, and the plants grow more rapidly as a result. Aeroponic systems also generally use less water than any other type of hydroponic system (especially true aeroponic systems). Also harvesting is usually easier, especially for root crops. The downside of the system is that despite being convenient and simple to use it is more expensive to build compared to other hydroponics systems.
2.    Nutrient Film Technique: The N.F.T. system (Nutrient Film Technique) is quite popular with home hydroponic growers as well, mainly because of it's fairly simple design. However N.F.T. systems are best suited for, and most commonly used for growing smaller quick growing plants like different types of lettuce. Along with growing lettuce, some commercial growers also grow different types of herbs and baby greens using N.F.T. systems. The major downside to N.F.T. systems is that the plants are very sensitive to interruptions in the flow of water from power outages (or whatever reason).
3.    Deep Water Culture: In a Deep Water Culture (DWC) system, you use a reservoir to hold a nutrient solution. The roots of your plants are suspended in that solution so they get a constant supply of water, oxygen, and nutrients. The plants are typically housed in net pots that are placed in a foam board or into the top of the container that you're using for your reservoir. With some hydroponic growing media added into your net pots, they provide a home for the very beginning of your root system and plant stems.​​

These three hydroponic systems mentioned above are the top choices of people who choose to do indoor gardening. Check these hydroponic systems and start you indoor growing now!

A Comprehensive Guide to Preparing Rockwool for Hydroponics Farming

Image
 Made by melting basaltic rock and spinning the modern mix into thin fibres, rockwool is one of the most demanded growing medium for hydroponic cultivation. Due to being chemically and biologically inert, they create an ideal growing medium for hydroponic growing systems. It has an excellent water-holding capacity and by using it, all nutrients have an immediate effect on the plant. Another benefit of using rockwool cubes is that it can be reused for plants with different botanical families. Although they are a man-made product, they are acceptable in organic growing systems because of the basaltic salt and rock constituents. Before using rockwool for hydroponics, it’s important to prepare it for use. Unlike other growing media, rockwool has a high pH. Thus, setting up the rockwood media is a bit tricky. Here we have shared the step-wise detail toward it. 1. Check the dents and holes Whether you are using the rockwool grow media in the form of cubes or granulated rockwool, it is im...
