Hydroponics is fast emerging as one of the preferred methods of growing plants there are still quite a few misconceptions around hydroponics which makes growers skeptical in embracing this breakthrough technology.

Your plants' roots are the key to your yield size and potency, that's what the research shows. Yet the first thing you notice about most hydroponics roots zones is they are biologically sterile. Nothing other than roots is alive in them. When you focus on your roots, you might notice that they're bare and spindly-looking. But healthy roots actually look healthy, not like most roots you'll see. They're "muscular," intensely-branched, thickened, and robustly alive. You don't see that kind of roots very often in hydroponics gardens unless you've imported beneficial microbes into your root zone.

Get tips on vegetable gardening/hydroponic vegetable gardening from advanced nutrients articles and grow vegetables like asparagus, tomatoes etc.

Plants cloning perhaps sound like terribly scary task, but it is actually a very simple method of obtaining a wide variety of plants without the use of seeds. For high yielding hydroponics, gardeners prefer to use cutting method of cloning plants. When cloning, make sure that the mother plant is healthy because any infections on the source of plant will likely be passed to the new plants. Cut the stem off at a 45-degree angle with a sterile, clean razor so that no damage occurs to the plants. At this point you need to work quickly to get the cutting into the cup of rooting solution.

Root Shooters is the ultimate plant plug rooting medium for indoor hydroponics. It's made of a peat based media with a proprietary binder holding it together to create the perfect blend of peat to air.
