Hydroponics comes from the ancient Greek formation of “hydro”, meaning water, and “ponics”, meaning labor. The water is doing the work here and enabling the fast growth of plants. Hydroponically grown plants are the one-stop solution since they neither need space nor soil. .
Hydroponics is a kind of hydroculture also it is a technique of growing exotic vegetables using solutions rich in mineral nutrients without soil. Through this technique, roots absorbs the nutrients present in water and fulfill their growth requirement.
Hydroponically grown exotic vegetables are one-stop solution since they neither need space nor soil. Also, instead of using soil, hydroponic vegetables depend on a water-based nutrient-rich solution.
We're talking primo, filtered stuff with a balanced pH. Most plants like water with a pH level around 6–6.5. You can adjust the acidity of your water with over-the-counter solutions found at your local hardware, garden, or hydroponic store..
Don’t drown your plants! In traditional farming, roots can get the oxygen needed for respiration from pockets of air in the soil. Depending on your hydroponic setup, you will either need to leave space between the base of your plant and the water reservoir, or you’ll need oxygenate your container (think of bubbles in a fish tank), which you can accomplish by buying an air stone or installing an air pump.
Even though you don’t need soil, your plant’s roots still need a little something to hold on to. Typical materials include vermiculite, perlite, peat moss, coconut fiber, and rockwool. Stay away from materials that might compact (like sand) or that don’t retain any moisture (like gravel).
Your plant is going to need plenty of magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and other nutrients to stay healthy and productive –– just like plants growing in the ground need healthy soil and fertilizer. When you’re growing plants without soil, this “plant food” must be included in the water that’s feeding your plants. While you can technically make your own nutrient solution, it’s easy to buy mixtures online and in stores.
If you’re growing your plants indoors, you might have to invest in some special lighting. Each kind of plant will have a different requirement for the amount of light it needs and for the placement of lights (typically referred to as Daily Light Integral or DLI).
Hydroponically grown exotic vegetables are one-stop solution since they neither need space nor soil. Also, instead of using soil, hydroponic vegetables depend on a water-based nutrient-rich solution Hydroponic system helps vegetables to grow up to 90% more effcient use of water as compared to other traditional soil grown production. The growth of the vegetables increases 3-10 times in the similar amount of space also many seeds can produce twice as fast in it is well managed in hydroponic system.
Nutrients level in water-based solution helps seeds grow faster, also few vegetables can be re-harvested more than 3 times when germinated so this produces higher yield
Resources required are easily available and eco-friendly, as vertical farming requires selected resoureces; Water and Nutrients are essential for the growth of Vegetables.
Weather contions or any season doesn't affect the growth, infact they are grown more healthy and with lots of fiber in vertical farming; also the veggies get sufficient amount of water-based nutrients.
