Hydroponic Root Root Preventing & Managing Hydroponic Root Pathogens Hydroponic root rot is an avoidable and treatable crop disease. Note that browning and decaying roots are more of a symptom and not a particular plant disease, identifiable as brown mushy roots. Hydroponic root rot results when a disease causing organism (pythium, fusarium, etc) is introduced […]
Hydroponic Reservoir Management How To Monitor & Manage Hydroponic Reservoirs Good hydroponic reservoir management is key to achieving the full potential of your hydroponic growing system. The reservoir or nutrient cistern in a greenhouse or indoor farming operation acts like a heart, circulating oxygen and nutrient rich solutions to thirsty roots for absorption. In the […]
Hot Weather Grow Room Management How To Help Hydroponic Crops in the Heat As a trend, summers are becoming hotter–for longer, necessitating a strong set of hot weather grow room management skills. Sizing and performance allowances for growing equipment such as fans, chillers or air conditioning units may prove to be inadequate. Rules of […]
Hydroponic ORP Management Controlling & Monitoring ORP in Crops Hydroponic ORP management gives growers the ability to observe and maintain a relative measure of the “health” of hydroponic nutrient solutions to grow crops. Managing ORP levels is especially effective in recirculating water culture systems like RDWC. ORP readings from monitoring devices are given as […]
Hydroponic Mother Plants Better Propagation Programs with Water Culture Hydroponic mother plants produce more shoot material for rooting cuttings and clones versus conventional growing methods. Additionally, the donor material is often of higher quality and roots faster. Experienced growers know that high-yielding trouble-free crops start with high-quality transplants, which begin before the material […]
Commercial Hydroponic Nutrients Cultured Solutions A&B Dutch Style Grow & Bloom Formulas Commercial hydroponic nutrients have a lot riding on them. Large scale cultivators growing in water culture, rockwool, coco or peat mixes cannot afford to gamble or guess when it comes to crop fertility. Specialty fertilizer blends used in these types of applications […]
Difference Between ORP VS DO How DO & ORP Effect Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions The difference between ORP VS DO is important to understand for assessing and managing the “health” of hydroponic nutrient solutions and water quality for use in cultivating high value crops. DO (dissolved oxygen) in simplest terms is a value […]
Hypochlorous Acid Hydroponic Drip Applications Keeping Drip Tables & Irrigation Systems Clean Hypochlorous acid hydroponic drip applications keep modern coco and rockwool set-ups productive and operating smoothly. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl-) is available as stable concentrates specifically offered for growers that can be injected into drip fertigation systems or added and dosed into reservoirs. […]
These RDWC grow tips will help maximize cropping results and provide all the benefits that RDWC (recirculating deep water culture) hydroponics growing systems offer. Getting the Most from Your RDWC Set Up Running an advanced RDWC hydroponics system such as the Under Current requires additional accessories to maximize the potential of a garden. Ensuring your […]
CCH2O Hydroponic System Bulletin: High Pressure Aeroponic Cloning Systems High Pressure Aeroponic Cloning Systems, Advantageous Root Development High pressure aeroponic cloning systems like CCH2O’s HP Aero Cloner are true aeroponic systems. The term “aeroponics” is most often used to describe any type of water culture system that feeds supported bare root plants with a nutrient […]
