Managing Hydroponics Systems
Aeroponics, especially High-Pressure Aeroponics (HPA), is a relatively new growing method. In High-Pressure Aeroponics systems, roots are suspended in the air and sprayed with an atomized solution of nutrients at specific intervals, while the rest of the plant is left to grow up and above the root chamber. This allows the roots to be exposed […]

Garden soil and nutrient testing will be your biggest responsibility on a day-to-day basis while growing. Plants are generally pretty resilient, but they can develop some pretty nasty issues if certain aspects of their nutrition are out of whack. Some of the most common things you’ll need to test include pH, PPM, TDS, EC, Temperature, […]
Water filtration is an essential process for any serious commercial hydroponics operation. Plants, like humans, thrive when given high quality water.
