For a gardener, the plants in a controlled environment is a blessing because it would mean better results, and perhaps the best harvest ever! If you want to grow plants in your house, but there is still room for a bigger garden, or simply do not garden because of the time, why not try hydroponics?
From the Greek words meaning water "hydro" and work "ponos" meaning, is the method of hydroponic cultivation of plants without soil. So it's less effort than actuallyHere the garden and digging in the sun and rain. Let me show you the basics to create your own hydroponic system at home.
There are few things in the management of hydroponic systems to grow your plants look. Here are some of the most important things to know to build one for their own use.
The choice of system
You can choose to use one of the six basic types of hydroponic systems: the drop, Wick, ebb and flow, aeroponics, Water and Nutrient Film CultureTechnique (NFT). Aeroponics is the most complicated, technical and technology-wise. This is related to the plant in the air, and the system is steaming up the roots at regular intervals with the nutrient solution. The simplest is the wick system, designed with the nutrient solution in growth platform through a wick. The drip system is the most commonly used. It operates with a pump the nutrient solution directly to each plant produces about a drop pipe with it.
StarterCubes
Another important thing to know is, are cut starter cubes. Starter cubes, where to plant the seeds and allow them to germinate before moving to the hydroponic system. Some of the most commonly used are peat pots, Organ-cubes, cubes of rockwool and Oasis. You start by making a hole in the top, the seeds and cover the hole with surrounding materials starter cubes. It should remain their starter cubes moist, but never sit in water, and planting can. Drowning
A nutrient solution is basically fertilizer and water. During the first two weeks, the nutrient solution with a 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 water ratio fertilizer can be mixed. You can then switch to full strength.
Lighting
The plants need to grow a good source of light. This is a must, if you plant in the ground or in a system. There are three basic types of light are used indoors can: fluorescent, incandescent and high intensity discharge lamps. Although it is veryless heat than high-intensity discharge, fluorescent lighting and is not of choice for small gardeners, because they are cheap. Lamps, high intensity discharge lights are more effective and more expensive.
Finally, the seeds! In fact, you can grow what you want - tomatoes, lettuce and spinach. They must also live under the fluorescent lights, because they need sunlight. You can grow African violets. There are guided tours can be purchased online and are growing by nearlymay be able to help you choose plants to help you grow in your garden. But, of course, read the labels of their seed packets. Most contain information to help them grow and if you're still learning.
Build your own hydroponics system is not difficult. It's actually very funny! You can use this for the garden, think about your children and also develop as a hobby to share where you can enjoy as a family together. Not to mention the benefits of a large gardenhome.
