Introduction to Hydroponics Gardening
April 28, 2009 by
Hydroponics was derived from the Greek word hydro, which means “water” and ponos, which means “labor or water-working”. Hydroponics gardening involves growing plants with their roots in other nutrient solutions and without soil.
Hydroponics gardening is as simple as ordinary gardening. Both of them necessitate sufficient light, water, temperature, light, and humidity. But with hydroponics, no soil is used. Instead a soil substitute holds the roots while nutrients are carried by the water. Indoor hydroponic gardening is not that hard and plants respond well to this method of growing.
This is one of the major considerations in hydroponics gardening since it sustains the plants. One has to make sure that this nutrient solution maintains a pH level of 5 to 6 after dilution. In hydroponics gardening, the plants should be watered more than three times a day. this is usually done using a pump and timer.
Simple self watering systems such as the Aquapod Watering System or the Big Drippa Watering Kit. These systems can water and feed your greenhouse or patio plants.
If your hydroponics garden is located indoors, the most suitable temperature is between 71 to 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, this temperature may change depending on the different types of plant you are working on, e.g. tropical plants.
Place your plants somewhere they can receive ample amount of light. Otherwise artificial light must be used. High pressure Sodium lights or bulbs are a suitable substitute for natural light.
Humidity is good. When the room’s temperature rises, the air will be able to hold the sufficient amount of moisture your plants will need.
With hydroponics, an excellent yield of quality plants can be easily achieved. Home hydroponics systems and DIY kits are are readily available in most hardware stores.
A hydroponics system can be fully automated. Since it is water-based, the gardener has no soil to dig or weeds to pull. Also, the water can be re-used to prevent wastage.
top idea,keep this project going, a wise man once said “give a man a fish and you feed him for one day, teach him to fish and you feed him for life” could have been Jesus saying but not sure, anyway you two young guys are inspiring and very kind to teach the people out there , thank you….
The aero-hydroponics system is the most advanced hydroponic method available. Using an aero-hydroponics system will give many hydroponics gardeners the chance to enhance their gardens further. Plants grow better in an aero-hydroponics system. Dissolved oxygen at the root boundary zone enables aero-hydroponically plants to grow better than others. In aero-hydroponics, the nutrient solution is sprayed through the air in order to infuse the nutrient with dissolved oxygen. Once the system is set up, it will run indefinitely without any additional investments in disposable components such as growing media and non-recirculating nutrients.

Hi, this is about Hydroponics gardening is a popular method used by indoor gardening enthusiasts. Hydroponics is a form of soilless gardening; it instead uses a growing medium in which the plant roots sit, and they are fed through the application of a nutrient solution.
rheem does have a decent customer care line. i called them about mine and they emailed me the manual right then. i would be very careful with a gas one and have a cabon monoxide detector in your house. it could be the thermostat is set too low. i believe that the pilot light should be blue, but not sure. be very careful with gas
Rockin' garden! We might have to follow suit. Have you seen the soilless window gardens? They put plants in test tubes in windows with a nutrient solution and a little pump. They say it works all year.
Thanks for the advertising! We love it!
