Hydrophonics culture is cultivating on a sterile medium.
The big advantage of this method is the accelerated growth because of the optimum control of the feed. The feed requirement is controlled by an automated irrigation process so that the plants get their feed regularly and with short intervals. Another advantage – and just as pleasant – is that carrying heavy bags of soil and removing the old soil becomes a thing from the past.
There are certain disadvantages attached to cultivating on hydrophonics. Firstly, it is more complicated to successfully grow a hydrophonics garden than growing in soil. The fact is that hydrophonics culture is less forgiving when making mistakes in feeding the soil.
On the other hand, any mistakes made become clearer sooner and can therefore be remedied sooner. Therefore the damage to the crops can be limited. Another risk of this particular cultivating method is the risk of leakages, a problem that could really become nasty when cultivating in an apartment.
Positive Grow sells devices that detects leakages at an early stage, and for example, cuts off the electricity to the water supply. The set up of a laboratory, based on hydrophonics culture, is not difficult as long as you adhere to the guide lines. The prevention of leakages and possible short circuiting by means of good insulation and filling is the most important in this method of cultivation.
The most used medium in hydrophonics culture is the glass- and stone wool, just like in professional horticulture. Positive Grow is well stocked with requisites to successfully grow on a biological basis and hydrophonics culture. In the field of fertilisers and stimulators, we have a wide assortment of the best brands. You will find an example of both methods of cultivating at Positive Grow so you can see for yourself how everything works. Furthermore, the employees at Positive Grow will be happy to answer any questions you might have in relation to the above.
