Hydroponics - a short guide for beginners
Before you start growing on hydroponics, you should have the experience of growing plants in the usual way on soil.

When you switch to hydropone growing, you get much larger yields than with traditional methods of growing in the soil. Not a little is important that the time of cultivation of plants is reduced and you can regulate and control the entire growth process.

Having familiarized yourself with the appropriate materials in the field of hydropopon cultivation, you can focus on achieving maximum performance of your work, growing products that meets your personal requirements, its organicism, quality, appearance and taste. To do this, you only need to use all available factors that provide the maximum result, such as:


 * Correctly selected lighting
 * Nutrients and various additives and stimulants (correctly selected and used in correct proportions)
 * Ventilation
 * CO2
 * Seeds or clones
 * Growing environment

To see the differences in growing methods and decide for yourself which is better for you, try using two methods in parallel: grow on substrates and on hydroponics. You can also grow the same plant in parallel on Earth, then to compare all three methods and draw conclusions.

When growing on hydroponics, you will save a lot of time in connection with plant growth cycles. In addition, you can grow plants all year round, including at home. Growing on the hydroponics takes a much less time than growing on the basis and therefore you will enjoy the results much earlier. Of course, much depends on the plant grown, but in any case, you will be satisfied with the result.

For hydropopon cultivation, an inert plant environment is required to support the plant, which protects the roots from sunlight and the constant preservation of the roots.

The most important thing is growing on the hydroponic do not forget about the following moments:


 * 1) Control and adjust the level of PH of the solution. It should always be in the range from 5.5 to 6.8. The optimal pH for growing hydroponic weeds is 6.3-6.5. You should know that when using hydroponic natural materials, there is a natural trend for increasing PH over time when plants use nutrients in the mixture. Therefore, you must monitor the level of PH and in which case adjust it. You can purchase buffers for regulating PH levels in various grows. They are both in liquid form and in dry form, they will easily help you adjust the level of the pH of your solution to the top at least to the bottom.
 * 2) Regularly replace your nutrient medium for growing, or regularly update with water nutrients. You need to do this at any stage of growth, adhering to the recommendations of feeding cards.
 * 3) The root mass in the nutrient solution should be maintained at a minimum temperature of 10 degrees - at night and 22 degrees - during daylight hours.
 * 4) When growing on the substrate, do not forget to clean the root mass from the trumpeted and rotten residues.
 * 5) Correctly select and use lighting, the growth of your plants directly depends on this.
 * 6) Use only nutrients and substrates specialized for hydroponics.
 * 7) Check your plants for pests and, in which case, immediately eradicate them.

Hydroponics is a very exciting activity, at first glance it may seem difficult, but I can say it with confidence at all, on the contrary, this is a very interesting and quite easy to use method of growing. Of course, before taking up the hydroponics, I advise you to first grow something in the soil, then study everything with regard to hydroponics, since there are many useful materials on the Internet.

And I assure you - having figured out everything and growing several crops, seeing all the advantages of this method, you are unlikely to want to return to traditional cultivation methods. In general, friends of success in your endeavors!
