Hydroponic gardening is better than soil gardening for several reasons. More plants can generally be grown in the same amount of space when compared to traditional soil gardens. Roots are delivered nutrients instead of having to stretch out in search of them. Also hydroponic gardens can be stacked to further increase space efficiency. The main benefit to hydroponic gardening is much higher oxygen levels in the root zone when compared to a soil garden. This increased oxygen means increased nutrient uptake and much higher rates of growth. It is also much easier to control the nutrient levels in hydroponic gardens compared to soil gardens.

Yes, Hydroponic gardens can be used outdoors. Some of the challenges may be keeping the nutrient solution at appropriate temperatures in hot or cold environments. In order to combat this, gardeners will employ the use of chillers and heaters. In situations where power is expensive or the gardener wants to use a more natural approach, reservoirs can be buried deep in the ground to regulate temperature. Roots too hot can cause anaerobic bacteria from growing and harming the plants, and roots too cold will slow plant growth.

ost plants grow well in hydroponic applications, although some are more difficult than others. Some plants such as varieties that product bulbs are better suited for soilless mediums than they are for say deep water culture. However, almost every plant that grows from seed will excel in a hydroponic garden.

Some of the easily grown varieties in hydroponics are attached as graphics:

Yes, however it may be difficult to satisfy the nutritional requirements of different plants in the same system. Gardeners are best off to grow similar plants in one system or even a mono crop (all of the same). It is possible to grow green leafy vegetables in one system for example and tomatoes or flowering vegetables in another. The more variation between plants in a system, the more difficult it is to accommodate.

We have exhaustive video collections and blogs which can help you install and maintain the kits. However we are only a call away if you have any queries.

Seeds are sold separately, they can also be purchased from local markets or from other online shopping sites. Nutrients are available with us ready in stock. We blend our own nutrition and package enough with every kit we sell so as to last a few rotations.

Once plants have germinated, most plants take between 4-6 weeks to reach maturity, depending on the variety. Exact crop cycle of each plant can be referred to online or consulted with us directly. Many crops will continue to regrow weekly after harvest.

Until the roots develop, continue to water the growing shoots with nutrition enriched water which can be easily prepared with the blend included in each of our kits!

Alternatively, the channel cover can be opened and cubes placed on the bottom of the channel, with the pump running to water the cubes automatically! In such a case, it is always suggested to run the pump only for a few minutes a day, until all the cubes are noticeably wet!!

The channels need to opened up and cleaned with a rag and warm water. The tanks can be emptied and washed thoroughly with warm water as well.

Post reconnecting the system, use a 3% diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the system and get growing again!

YES! We have successfully completed numerous indoor and outdoor projects in 6 states in India and NEPAL and BHUTAN as well!
