Hydroponic root hormones are one of the most important components of a hydroponic system. Hydroponic plants are grown suspended in a liquid solution containing minerals that are essential for plants

Hydroponic and organic gardening systems and supplies. Growing with a hydroponic system is much faster. Welcome to the world of Hydroponics.

LEDs are an important component of the indoor growing industry. But still a large segment of the hydroponic growing community does not know exactly how to make LEDs work effectively for their garden.

Nutrient Film Technique or NFT is a type of hydroponic system where a shallow stream of water containing all the essential dissolved nutrients required for plant's growth is re-circulated past the bare roots of plants in a watertight gully, also known as channel.

In part one of our discussion about diseases, viruses and other pathogens that attack your hydroponics plants, we talked about monitoring your leaves and your plants' vigor for early detection of problems. We also pointed out that we often assume that leaf or vigor problems are caused by issues related only to plant absorption of hydroponics nutrients, lack of light, pH problems and similar causes. All of those possible causes should be explored, but at the same time you want to investigate fungi, molds, bacteria, diseases and other pathogenic conditions that attack hydroponics roots and leaves.

For several weeks we've been discussing hydroponics systems and learning huge amounts of hydroponics wisdom together. Last time I started to tell you why the ability of rockwool, coco coir, Pro-Mix and other solid root zone media is a big factor in how and why people choose their hydroponics systems.

In my first-ever article on RosebudMag.com, I issued an open challenge to hydroponics industry monopolists and hypocrites who are discriminating against Advanced Nutrients and harming growers by stifling the free flow of hydroponics information and the availability of the most effective hydroponics nutrients and gear.

Hydroponics and other alternative methods can expand the possibilities of roof top gardening by reducing the need for soil or its tremendous weight.

Passive hydroponics is a convenient method for vegetable gardening because of its high yields and deliverance of quality products.

Advanced hydroponics technique involves the mass cultivation of plants and animal life for commercial purpose in skyscrapers.

Before you became a hydroponics grower, when you heard the word "ballast," you probably only thought of the weighty materials they throw off of hot air balloons to make the balloon rise. But when you're talking about hydroponics lighting, a ballast is an interface device that uses analog or solid-state circuitry to get the right amount of electricity to your hydroponics bulbs. You can't just plug a bulb directly into electricity.

Summer is sizzling, and you know what that means for you as a hydroponics grower: too much heat! Your hydroponics plants want ambient air temperatures around 74F. Their roots best intake water and nutrients if the root zone is 68F. But in a closed grow room indoors, with hydroponics lighting and other hydroponics gear generating heat, you have an obvious problem: temperatures are going up, and it costs money to keep them down.

Many of us grow our hydroponics plants in a neutral substrate like rockwool or coco coir, or we grow in systems that lack substrate- such as aeroponics and NFT. But a sizable percentage of hydroponics growers use soil mixes. What is a soil mix?

Hearing hydroponics gardening success stories from Rosebud Magazine readers is a joy, especially when it's a success story like this one that came from Tyler, who resides in the great state of Colorado. Check out this inspiring and educational e-letter:

Daylength is usually the most vital factor in regulating vegetative growth of your hydroponic garden.

Do you get smiles from your hydroponics retailers?

Hydroponic gardening is a technique of growing plants without soil, plantation agriculture is an export oriented commercial tropical agricultural systems.

Rockwool is much more alkaline than other media, so you need to adjust the pH of your nutrients to create an ideal pH for the root zone

Rhino Skin has been specially designed for use with all hydroponics, sphagnum, coco coir and soil growing mediums

Scarification basically means scratching, breaking or weakening the coating of the seed to soften it, therefore making it easier to reach the moisture and gasses it requires to germinate efficiently.
