Hydroponic growing is a method of growing plants without soil, with roots directly in a nutrient solution . This promotes rapid growth and higher yields through efficient uptake of water and nutrients. Ideal for controlled cultivation, but requires close monitoring of pH and nutrient levels.
💡 Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydroponic growing and why choose it?
Hydroponic growing cultivates plants in nutrient-rich water instead of soil, delivering nutrients directly to roots for faster growth and higher yields. It offers precise control over nutrition, pH, and environment while reducing water usage and eliminating soil-borne diseases and pests.
Best nutrients for hydroponic growing?
Use hydro-specific nutrients like BAC Amino Complex for plant health, Narcos PK 13/14 for flowering, and complete hydroponic lines from Plagron and Canna. These water-soluble nutrients provide immediate availability, balanced nutrition, and precise control over plant feeding.
How to maintain hydroponic nutrient solution?
Monitor pH (5.5-6.5) and EC levels daily, change solution every 1-2 weeks, and add nutrients like BAC Amino Complex as needed. Keep water temperature around 18-22°C, ensure proper oxygenation, and maintain sterile conditions to prevent root rot.
Hydroponic vs soil growing differences?
Hydroponics offers faster growth, higher yields, and precise nutrient control but requires more monitoring and equipment. Soil provides natural buffering and forgiveness but grows slower. Hydroponic systems using BAC and Plagron nutrients can produce 30-50% higher yields.
Best hydroponic systems for beginners?
Start with Deep Water Culture (DWC) or drip systems using quality nutrients like BAC Amino Complex and Plagron hydroponic formulas. These systems are relatively simple, forgiving, and provide excellent results when combined with proper monitoring equipment.
Are hydroponic nutrients legal in Europe?
Yes, hydroponic nutrients are completely legal across Europe and widely used in commercial agriculture. Products like BAC Amino Complex, Narcos, Plagron, and Canna hydroponic nutrients meet EU safety standards for agricultural use.
Hydroponic supplies delivery Europe?
