			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hydroponics is fun. Experimenting with different plants grown in water or rockwool leads to a new appreciation of the factors required for them to thrive. But, as with any successful project, a certain amount of preparation is required.</p>
<p>The first, and most obvious thing needed is the plant itself, either in the form of seed or a pre-existing plant. Luckily, nearly any plant can be grown hydroponically with the proper care. Tomatoes are a favorite starting plant for those new to hydroponics. They drink up large amounts of water anyway and can grow to enormous size in containers without soil.</p>
<p>Since hydroponics doesn&#8217;t use soil to support the plant as it grows, some substitute has to be found. Water is the most common medium but it won&#8217;t support a growing plant against gravity. The hydroponic gardener uses a number of different methods instead. </p>
<p>A small container with proper supports for the stem will do well. Those supports can be as simple as wooden ice cream sticks or plastic straws glued to the container or secured with string. Kits are available, too, that will supply all the structural components the novice hydroponic gardener will need.</p>
<p>The container size will vary depending on intended use, but a good first try will be about 6-12 inches deep and 2-3 feet wide. A smaller container will work with smaller plants or gardens, obviously. But even a single tomato plant will require room to grow, so better to overestimate than start out too small. Transplanting is a more advanced activity that should be reserved for later.</p>
<p>Fill the container with water. Reserve non-aqueous methods such as perlite or rockwool for later, once hydroponics cultivation becomes more familiar. Start with clean water, but it need not be distilled. In fact, plants grow better in water with minerals. But it should be free of organisms. Sterilize or microwave it to be sure.</p>
<p>The water will have to be aerated. Photosynthesis consumes CO2 and gives off O2, but plants grown in water still need to get oxygen from the medium for cellular respiration in the roots. They&#8217;ll quickly use up any dissolved oxygen, so it has to be added artificially. An aquarium pump and filter will do the job, but one designed specifically for hydroponics is best.</p>
<p>As with most plants, light is essential. There are exceptions, of course &#8211; some plants don&#8217;t need to photosynthesize. Most plants will require 8-10 hours per day of intense light. That&#8217;s best supplied by natural sunlight. It&#8217;s possible to substitute, at least to a large degree, with artificial lights. Sodium lamps and other types specially made for hydroponics are available. </p>
<p>Plants need nutrients. A good supply of NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) fertilizer with needed trace elements is the ticket. But look for those with the right percentage for growing in a hydroponic setting. Too much nitrogen, for example, can easily burn a plant living in water just as it can soil-grown plants. Pre-mixed solutions are the easiest to work with. Ensure that they contain roughly the following elements or compounds. All amounts are per 25 gallons of nutrient solution.</p>
<p>Potassium Phosphate: 1 tsp<br />Potassium Nitrate: 4 tsp<br />Calcium Nitrate: 7 tsp<br />Magnesium Sulfate	: 4 tsp<br />Boric Acid: 1/2 pint<br />Manganese Chloride: 1/2 pint<br />Zinc Sulfate: 1/2 tsp<br />Copper Sulfate: 1/2 tsp<br />Iron Sulfate: 1/2 pint</p>
<p>Some water sources may already have some of these. Water testing kits will help you ensure you have the right compounds and pH, which should be close to neutral. Be prepared to change the solution about every two weeks.</p>
<p>A means of keeping the water at the right temperature is vital. Most plants don&#8217;t grow well in continual cold. That&#8217;s especially true of tomatoes! Unless the climate supplies all the warmth the plant will require, a heating element is essential. A thermometer to measure the temperature will also be needed.</p>
<p>Once you have your plants and the materials to support and care for them, <a rel="nofollow" href='http://besthydroponicssite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">hydroponic gardening</a> is just a little bit of research away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking to grow truly professional grade plants then you need to use <a rel="nofollow" href='http://besthydroponicssite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=19' target="_blank">Advanced Nutrients</a> for hydroponics. This amazing product will make the biggest difference in your plants of anything you can do. Advanced Nutrients are of the highest quality and have products specifically tailored to not only work with the different cycles of your plant growth, but also with each other to maximize the potential within your plants. Why do Advanced Nutrients work so well? Basic nutrients can grow your hydroponic plants to a certain level, but you need Advanced Nutrients to take them to the next level. Advanced Nutrients products work with each other to provide your plant with long term and long cycle growth support, unlike simple nutrients that are designed to support just one cycle of your plants&#8217; growth.</p>
<p>By working in conjunction with other products throughout the cycle you can maximize your plants&#8217; growth and get results that would be completely impossible otherwise. This coordinated growth plan is what makes Advanced Nutrients different then other types of soil and growth products.</p>
<p>The one negative of these types of products is that they do not work as well outside of the set growth plan. You also have to use all of the products together with like products to ensure maximum growth and production. If you do not see positive results from the product line you may have to switch completely out of it, which in and of itself can be quite a production.</p>
<p>But for the most part I have had very positive results when I use Advanced Nutrients in their designed environment. There are many times when I have even tried them outside of this and still have positive results. If you really want to grow crazy big plants you need to be willing to experiment a bit and try new things. Of course you want to have a baseline of plants that you keep on a normal path, but don&#8217;t be afraid to split some of these off and see what you can come up with. I have had some of my most positive results from doing this.</p>
<p>There are many things that are really great about Advanced Nutrients hydroponics products, but at the same time they can be rigid. It is up to you to find the right nutrients for your application and use them to make the most out of your vegetables and other plants. Regardless of how you do it, it is always satisfying to grow something and reap the fruits of your labor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with soil-based gardens, <a rel="nofollow" href='http://besthydroponicssite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">hydroponic gardening</a> requires good pest and disease control habits. The alternative is the same as with &#8216;ordinary&#8217; gardens: spindly or dead plants. Since the majority of hydroponic plants are fruits and vegetables, that means: plants not worth eating.</p>
<p>But the situation with hydroponic gardening is even trickier, since disease and pests have it much easier in this setting. Plants are constantly kept wet, either immersed in water (&#8216;true&#8217; hydroponics) or continually sprayed (aeroponics) or reside in an always wet medium such as perlite or sand. Fortunately, as with soil-based gardens, there is an array of techniques available to manage the problem.</p>
<p>Using beneficial organisms is one popular way to control unwanted pests, including certain types of bacteria and fungi. These help control spider mites and other invaders by crowding them out, eating them or releasing compounds toxic to the pest. They&#8217;re called beneficial because they do all that without damaging the plants themselves.</p>
<p>Hydroponics pesticides of different types are available, too.</p>
<p>Pesticidal soaps have been in use since the 18th century and still provide effective and non-toxic ways to keep the pests down. One sub-category called botanicals are compounds released by plants themselves that have been packaged into an easy-to-use pest control method. Botanicals break down naturally from exposure to air and water and leave no harmful chemicals behind.</p>
<p>Neem oil can control over 400 different types of bug that commonly invade gardens, including hydroponic ones. A simple spray to the leaves can often eliminate common pests. The bugs absorb the oil, which interferes with their ability to reproduce, leading to a lower population.</p>
<p>For more serious infestations, many commercial pesticides continue to work well.</p>
<p>White flies, aphids, mites and other pests can be a problem in hydroponic settings, just as in soil-based gardens. Powdery mildew is a common problem. In fact, because of the continual moisture, they all have a &#8216;friendly&#8217; environment. Making it &#8216;unfriendly&#8217; is easy though, using fungicides and organicides. Sulfur-based compounds help control white flies, mealy bugs, thrips and more.</p>
<p>Pyrethrum continues to be a safe and effective means of control. Though it has a scary chemical formula and a &#8216;non-natural&#8217; sounding name, it&#8217;s derived from flowers. This class of natural compounds released by plants are extracted and used in many commercial insecticides. Dosage is low, so the compound is safe when used correctly. Azatrol is a broad spectrum insecticide that provides easy control over most common pests.</p>
<p>Hydroponic gardeners have to exercise additional care when using any disease or pest control method, though.</p>
<p>Since no soil is present to secure the roots, it&#8217;s easier to damage a plant when manipulating the leaves and stems. That means, for example, that if you pick off mites by hand &#8211; an effective method for low-number infestations &#8211; it&#8217;s important to exercise extra care.</p>
<p>Since moisture is present, mildew and other fungi are more common. Keeping leaves dry and just the roots wet will help. Any insecticide sprayed on should be allowed to dry under the lights. For aeroponically grown plants, for example, that may require a temporary relocation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" href='http://besthydroponicssite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=3' target="_blank">hydroponic nutrients</a> are essential to supply your hydroponic garden with the elements needed for vital biochemical processes. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are the top three generally listed, but there are more than a dozen others. Magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca) and several more perform essential roles in the life of hydroponic plants, just as they do in soil-based gardens. Nitrogen is one of the hydroponic nutrients used by growing leaves. But despite the fact that the air is about 79% nitrogen, plants need it in the form of a supplement. The N2 molecule in air is very stable and plants don&#8217;t break it apart to use single nitrogen atoms. Phosphorus is essential to root growth. Potassium aids in disease resistance owing to its role in enzyme formation.</p>
<p>The other hydroponic nutrients perform a variety of functions. Calcium, for example, is a large component of cell walls and also helps deliver ions to various parts of the plant. Chlorine (Cl) is a component of chlorophyll, an important participant in photosynthesis. Iron is essential to the hemoglobin molecule, which is formed by plants as well as animals, where it helps transport oxygen needed for cellular respiration.</p>
<p>Pre-made hydroponic nutrients solutions are the easiest to work with to supply all the needed elements. As with any compound, dosage is important. For very young plants, such as small cuttings or those that are just germinating, 1/3 teaspoon of calcium nitrate dissolved in a gallon of water is about right, for example. Plants that are flowering will require more, about 3/4 teaspoon.</p>
<p>Water and temperature conditions are important factors, as well, when using hydroponic nutrients. Any solution should be fed at room temperature, which should also be the temperature of any water used in hydroponic gardens.</p>
<p>Dry plants should not be fed hydroponic nutrients. Nitrogen burning is possible. That&#8217;s rarely a problem with hydroponics, but one &#8216;branch&#8217; known as aeroponics, where the plants are grown in air, can suffer that problem.</p>
<p>Allowing any water to stand overnight will help evaporate any excess chlorine from home water sources. Mineralized water is preferable to distilled since it will contain calcium and other useful elements.</p>
<p>Regulate the pH to keep it as near neutral as possible. As plants take up hydroponic nutrients they&#8217;ll tend to make the water alkaline. Add tiny small amounts of sulfuric acid to move it back to neutral. Sodium hydroxide will help shift excessively acidic water back to a neutral pH. Testing kits are available to accurately measure the pH of your hydroponic water.</p>
<p>Hydroponically grown plants are more sensitive to nutrient levels and less able to self-regulate than those in soil-based gardens. In soil, for example, they can take up or shed compounds. Releasing compounds into the water medium doesn&#8217;t move them away from the plant. The hydroponic gardener will need to exercise more care to keep plants healthy with hydroponic nutrients.</p>

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 <a rel="nofollow" href='http://besthydroponicssite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=12' target="_blank">hydroponic lighting</a> 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.</p>
<p>The fact that leaves are generally green and/or yellow shows that those colors are being reflected. The other components of white light (which is a mixture of many wavelengths) are mostly absorbed. But some are taken in more efficiently than others at different growth stages. Wavelengths in the range of the spectrum we perceive as red are used more during growth phases. Blue is absorbed more to produce flowering or fruiting.</p>
<p>Since few hydroponic gardens are simply left out in the sun to take their chances, a hydroponic lighting scheme is required to assist them in all those activities.</p>
<p>Plants that sit near an open window or are grown outdoors largely self-regulate the wavelengths they absorb, where the whole spectrum is abundant. But those that live indoors can only take up what is available. That makes it important to ensure that they have all the hydroponic lighting they need, both in terms of intensity and wavelength.</p>
<p>Indoor lights are typically less intense (provide less overall energy) and therefore plants may need to be supplemented with natural light. Or, it may be necessary to use special lights to provide the total amount of hydroponic lighting energy needed for warmth, photosynthesis and other useful tasks. The mixture will vary from one climate to another.</p>
<p>Indoor hydroponic lighting comes in a variety of types, prices and wavelengths, some better for plants than others.</p>
<p>Incandescents provide a lot of heat. They&#8217;re relatively inefficient at using electricity for that reason. But they produce strongly at the red end and weakly in the blue range.</p>
<p>Many fluorescents, by contrast, tend to produce greenish light. They&#8217;re filled with mercury and the interior coatings that produce light in the visible range may be better or worse at producing a white-approximating spectrum. But, they are much cheaper to use in the long run.</p>
<p>A relatively inexpensive hydroponic lighting setup can be achieved with a mixture of incandescents and fluorescents. A 30-watt incandescent with a 100-watt equivalent fluorescent provides a good balance of wavelengths. Fluorescents use much less electricity so the wattages can&#8217;t be directly compared.</p>
<p>While they cost more, metal halide and sodium lamps make for very good hydroponic lighting systems. Metal halide lamps produce well in the blue range and sodium lamps provide more reddish light. The bulbs can&#8217;t be switched between fixtures so it&#8217;s necessary to buy a housing appropriate to each type.</p>
<p>Some newer LED lamps will produce a very broad spectrum and some can be adjusted to favor one wavelength range. However, they&#8217;re expensive and many won&#8217;t produce the same output as any of the other types.</p>
<p>Plants vary in the intensity they require, as well. Ensure that medium light plants receive at least 1,000 foot-candles. Others will need 2,000 foot-candles (about 20 watts per square foot) or more. A good light meter will tell you how much is being given off, or you can sometimes find the rating listed on packaging or advertisements for different kinds of hydroponic lighting.</p>
<p>Most lamps should be placed about a foot from the plant to provide the proper intensity. The figure will vary considerably, though, depending on whether incandescents, fluorescents or another source is used.</p>
<p>Plants that receive sunshine will need from 8-10 hours per day. If all artificial light is used, the number rises to between 12-14 hours per day. For some plants and lighting schemes 16-18 hours per day may be needed. The specific amount of hydroponic lighting required depends heavily on the species of plant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like any plant, <a rel="nofollow" href='http://besthydroponicssite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=10' target="_blank">hydroponic growing</a> requires support and water. Because of the name, many of those new to hydroponics will arrive thinking that plants are always grown in water. That is certainly done, but there are many other choices for media. Hydroponic growing is really just soil-less plant growing, with some other substance providing the support and nutrients fed in other ways than through earth.</p>
<p><b>Rockwool</b></p>
<p>One of the most popular choices in hydroponic growing media is a material called rockwool. It&#8217;s a type of basalt that is specially processed to provide a strong, porous base. It&#8217;s mostly inert, so it won&#8217;t decay or leach compounds into the water very much. Since it&#8217;s porous, it provides good drainage. It&#8217;s also lightweight and inexpensive.</p>
<p>Rockwool cubes are often used as hydroponic growing media but small slabs are also available. Pre-drilled holes allow for placing and growing seeds and any cubes containing plants that don&#8217;t survive can be easily removed. The cube can be cleaned and replaced with another seed to try again, or simply left out to provide additional space for the survivors. This way, the hydroponics tray can be regulated easily so that there are a limited number of plants competing for air, light, space and nutrients.</p>
<p>Despite its lightweight and porous nature, rockwool provides a very sturdy medium for hydroponic growing plants. It gives good support to developing roots. At the same time it helps regulate the water temperature by being a good heat conductor. Adding rockwool will alter the pH of the environment slightly at first, but this is easily controlled using a pH kit.</p>
<p>Though rockwool has many advantages for hydroponic growing, most everyone will want to experiment with different media at some time. There are many more options available.</p>
<p><b>Sand</b></p>
<p>Ordinary beach sand is one common hydroponic growing medium. It drains well compared to ordinary clay-infused soil, but in a hydroponic setting it doesn&#8217;t do as well as most other possible media. But it&#8217;s extremely easy to use and certain plants take to living in sand very well. Certain orchid species in the wild, for example, grow naturally in wet sand.</p>
<p><b>Gravel</b></p>
<p>Ordinary aquarium gravel is used in some settings as a hydroponic growing medium. It provides a strong, clean supporting medium that can also be attractive. But it can crumble and so will have to be cleaned and filtered well before use. Because it&#8217;s very heavy, a good pump will be required to keep air and water flowing through the system properly. Otherwise, plant roots may dry out.</p>
<p><b>Perlite</b></p>
<p>Perlite is a more popular alternative. It&#8217;s a type of volcanic rock that is heated to form small, lightweight pebbles resembling glass beads. It&#8217;s desirable for its ability to retain air. Since hydroponic growing plants will quickly deplete any dissolved oxygen, perlite will help the pump keep the water oxygenated.</p>
<p><b>Vermiculite</b></p>
<p>Vermiculite is similar to perlite. It, too, is made into small pebbles to provide a flexible supporting medium for hydroponic plants. It draws in water from passive systems by capillary action, helping automate the watering and nutrient feeding tasks. Since it holds even more water than perlite it may exclude air so it needs to be used in moderation. A mixture of perlite and vermiculite is often used for that reason.</p>
<p>Try different options. Experiment. Hydroponic growing is supposed to be fun!</p>
