Most plants grown in a hydroponic garden setting require light, lots of it. They photosynthesize to produce their own nutrients. They require warmth to keep biochemical reactions going, and going at the right rate. They regulate many processes by the amount of hydroponic lighting present, speeding some up and shutting down others. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. The glucose is used as an internal energy source and much of the oxygen is expelled. But the color and intensity of the hydroponic lighting they receive plays a large role in how they do that. read more..

Lighten Up: Plant Lighting And Hydroponics
When it comes to growing crops from a seed there are four important elements to make the process successful. Those four key elements to successfully nurturing a plant from a seed include the seed itself, soil, water and light. This traditional way of growing crops has proven to be successful and provides the global community with the food that they need. However, the world is changing. Specifically, those changes include the global community increasing in size and the earth’s natural resources correspondingly decreasing.
