Why to use a hydoponic grow system at home?


In recent times, hydroponic farming has grabbed huge popularity among city dwellers. With a hydroponicgrow system, people can cultivate any herb, vegetable, or fruits at home. It eliminates the need for outdoor plots and allows you to grow plants even in dark rooms. Unlike traditional soil-based farming, hydroponic farming makes the use of nutrients-based water. It allows you to grow any plant and year-round. There are many benefits of using a hydroponic grow system at home. Here, we have mentioned a few of them.

  1. Saves water
As hydroponic plants grow in nutrient-based water solution, it does not require regular irrigation and thus saves water. Hydroponic systems can recirculate water, and the only water that’s lost in hydroponic farming is through evaporation. As the plant receives water only through their roots, only 95% of the water is transpired into the air.
  1. Climate control
In outdoor farming, it is very difficult to create the optimum temperature and pressure for the plants. But in the case of hydroponic farming, it is quite simple. For example, if your plant required tropical temperature, you can use LED lights and heater within the grow tent. Similarly, if it required it requires cold weather, then you can use coolers within the growing area.
  1. Plants grow faster 
Hydroponic farming creates a better scope for fast plant growth. It facilitates the ability to control temperature, light, and moisture within the grow room, thereby creating the ideal atmosphere for plant growth.
  1. More control over ph
Creating the ideal pH level is very important for creating the ideal environment for plant growth. Unlike traditional soil-based farming, hydroponic farming allows you to adjust the pH level of the nutrient-based water.
Key Considerations- While you can grow almost anything in a hydroponic system, you should choose plants that handle moisture well. It will be easier to maintain such plants. Also, it’s better to grow plants that don’t get too big for their set up. Plants like tomato, cucumber, mint, lettuce, strawberry, and leafy greens are easy to grow in a hydroponic grow system. To anchor the plant’s root, you can choose a soil-like medium like rockwool and clay pebbles.

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...
