Deep Water Culture Explained – Hydroponic Supplies & Equipment for DWC


Visit us online at www.thegrowshow.org Don’t be fooled by imitations. Don’t be fooled by high price lines. What you’re looking at here is a 3.5 gallon bucket, a 10 inch net pot, a single air pump, a pack of rock wool, some air tubing, an air pump and your hydroton. What we have here is everything you need to do a simple, one-piece hydroponic, deep water culture unit. A base deep water culture system starts out easy and simple like this You have a 3.5 gallon bucket, a nice little net pot that holds the hydroton, a piece of rockwool to wick-up the water, and underneath is an airstone to get the water nutrients bubbling up to the plant. Here we have a 70 liter airpump. This will power the airstone that bubbles the water and nutrients up to meet the rock wool and the medium, pulling up water and oxygen for the rooting system. Today we have a 70 liter high-output active aqua airpump. This one can power up to eight buckets. We have it going on three today. The roots grow down into the water, then are fed with nutrients via the airpump. The nutrients uptake through the root system that are being constantly misted at the bottom. When a younger plant is started, you are required to have more water in the reservoir to hit the rockwool and create a wicking activity and bring water and nutrients to the plant. As the plant grows a little bit larger, you get the luxury for the roots growing down into the water and you can have a slightly lower reservoir, but you still want a good …

Plant Nutrients for Hydroponics

Hydroponics is a method of indoor gardening that does not use soil as a growing medium for the plants. Plants can be grown in a water solution, or in other growing mediums such as rockwool or coir. Hydroponics is an ideal method of growing plants where soil may be less than ideal for gardening, as well as places where there is no land available to garden, such as in urban areas in cities.

All plants need three components in order to grow and thrive: water, light and food. Without any one of these, the plants will die. Food is vitally important to the plant, in order for it to grow and eventually reach maturity, where it will reproduce by flowering or fruiting. In terms of indoor gardening with hydroponics, food is a specialized component because of the soil-less growing factor.

How do hydroponic plants eat?

Plants grown hydroponically are fed using a hydroponic nutrient solution. In many hydroponic indoor gardening systems, the plant’s roots are grown in water. The crown of the plant is suspended by many and various means above the water, allowing the roots to float in the fluid.

In some systems, the water in which the plant roots rest is aerated using a small pump, and this allows the nutrient to be pushed all around the plant roots, where the roots can then make contact with the plant nutrients and take them in. Plant nutrients for hydroponics can also be taken up by the plant through the use of a wick. This wick-based system requires no pump.

Not all hydroponic systems are water based, however. You can also grow your plants in some form of media, which could include peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, coir, rockwool, and others. The medium helps to keep the crown of the plant out of the water, yet it keeps the plant roots in contact with the hydroponic nutrients.

All plants, whether growing indoors or not, need several types of nutrients. The main plant nutrients for hydroponics are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Plants also need macronutrients in greater amounts than micronutrients, but nevertheless all are needed in order for any plant to thrive.

In a traditional garden setting, your plants would be receiving nutrients from the soil, but without soil, plants are helpless without the gardener providing them with plant nutrients for hydroponics.

If you are growing food crops and wish to garden organically, not to worry: plant nutrients for hydroponics come in the form of organic gardening supplies suitable for fruits, leafy vegetables, melons, berries, grapes and many other types of food plants suited to hydroponic gardening.

Learn about plant nutrients for hydroponics as Susan Slobac describes the specialty requirements of indoor gardening with hydroponics.

CHEAP! HID / HPS / Metal Halide Grow Lights


In this video I show how to take a 400 Watt HID Metal Halide Warehouse light fixture and convert it to a grow light that you can you in your home. The same method can be used for high pressure sodium fixtures. These are verticle fixtures but can be converted to horizontal. I bought the fixture, bulb and new cord for .50 USD. I show where to look to find a deal like this.

What are the best nutrients for an aeroponic system?

We have this high school project as a class and it’s about the Aeroponics System. It’s a system that sprays the roots that aren’t in soil technically. Kind of like that one prepaid advertisement for the "Miracle Grow". We’re making one like that too, but in this plastic container. We’re in a bunch of groups and we all have a specific job: lighting, spray system, nutrients (us), pumping system, container, etc. I found out that there were nutrients in a liquid form and you have to mix it in the water(?) So is that the best way to give the plant’s roots nutrients? We have a class competition between us and the other two periods. It seems the best way to grow plants or veggies is by mixing the mixture with the water and have be sprayed in mist on the green life. If anyone has a better idea, then let me know! I’ll give more info later! Thanks again, ha, it’s my birthday! I’m excited! LOL : )

CFL Grow Light Reviews for Indoor Hydroponics and Indoor Gardening


In This video I show the various CFL Grow Lights that I have used the past few years and compare. They are all from local stores such as Menards and Home Depot. I mention the prices and light output for each. I also show hydroponic tomatoes that are a little over 2 weeks old. The largest bulb I show is the maximum length that the fixture can hnadle that I built in a previous video. My work in progress: www.tomorrowsgarden.net Buy your veggie seeds now guys. It’s cheap insurance. The stuff on the store shelves may not always be there.

Information about aquaponic gardening?

I was wanting to do some indoor gardening, and was looking into setting up a hydroponics system but i didn’t like the idea of buying all sorts of chemicals to feed my plants. So did some research and came upon aquoponics as an alternative to hydroponics with chemicals. Are the fish really able to produce enough nutrients to sustain a good amount of plants? Is a productive aquaponic system feasible in a relatively small amount of space? What are the best, least expensive, and edible fish for the system? Any ideas on how to make the system look decent, i like things to be neat and pretty as much as possible? Are strawberries a good thing to start out with?
Thanks for your help!

Hydroponics without the need to buy nutrients?

My questions is about the nutrients that are used for hydroponics. I’m an industrial designer and I’m thinking of making some sort of fish tank/hydroponic garden type of thing but I want to eliminate the hassle of buying nutrients for the water, plus the nutrients would probably kill the fish. So I was thinking maybe the plants can grow using nutrients from sediment in the tank, fish poop, and all the left over fish food. Can this work? Is it possible for plants to grow from this?
