Product Description
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium. Aeroponic culture differs from both hydroponics and in-vitro growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium… More >>

Indoor Gardening Supplies Overcome Weather and Soil Conditions

Hydroponics Systems Administrator — Tue, 11 May 2010 20:51:31 +0000

Indoor gardening supplies make it possible to garden no matter the weather or soil in your locale!

Whether you garden indoors professionally or as a fun hobby,indoor gardening supplies such as grow light kits with the appropriate digital ballast and LED grow lights can be used with soil based or soil-less indoor gardening systems. Gardening without using soil is a practice known as hydroponics. Because typically no soil is involved, this style of indoor gardening with a controlled growing environment can be practiced virtually anywhere–in a high-rise apartment, in the cold North where temperatures dip well below freezing, in the desert with its accompanying sweltering heat, and it even has been tested by astronauts in outer space.

There are some basic indoor gardening supplies common to every style of indoor gardening, including hydroponic systems, that you might wish to pursue. All plants need light in order to survive, so you will want to provide your indoor plants with appropriate grow lights.

What indoor gardening supplies do I need to get started?

One major component of any hydroponics gardening system is the lighting you will use. The appropriate lighting depends on several factors, including the types of plants you are growing indoors and in which stage of their life cycle the plants are.

Young seedlings require light that falls within the blue color spectrum in order to grow and reach maturity. Mature plants, such as flowers or fruiting plants like tomatoes or strawberries, need a light spectrum in the red to orange range in order to get the plants to set fruit or flower. You can find grow lights that offer specific light spectrums, so that you can provide your plants with exactly the correct light that they need to respond in the way you want.

Grow lamps are also used in conjunction with a suitable digital ballast. The ballast is the device that controls the amount of electrical current flowing to the light bulb in order to get it to not only spark, but once lit, to keep a steady light emerging from the bulb. Each ballast is specifically designed to work with its own specialized grow lamp, so it is important to know whether your grow lamp is an LED (light-emitting diode),or is one of the HID(high-intensity discharge) lamps, which can include mercury vapor, low-pressure sodium, zenon short-arc, metal halide and high-pressure sodium.

There are a wide variety of indoor gardening supplies suitable for any type of indoor gardening you practice, whether a traditional greenhouse, hydroponics, or others.

Master gardener Susan Slobac shares her experience with indoor gardening and hydroponics. Get the details on how a few basic indoor gardening supplies can overcome the poor weather or soil conditions of any area.

What are the best nutrients for an aeroponic system?

Hydroponics Systems Administrator — Sun, 02 May 2010 19:12:32 +0000

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 : )
