Anyone Can Learn Hydroponics

Hydroponics as a hobby

I recently discovered a fantastic new hobby I want to share. This new hobby is indoor hydroponics gardening. I always had a brown thumb and I discovered hydroponics by accident. I decided to try and grow my plants indoors to see if I would have better luck with hydroponics. The problem is I never had much luck as a gardener. I never took care of plants or animals, and had little experience taking care of anything living. However, I put all that behind me and now I grow my own organic medicinal herbs with hydroponics.

Hydroponics plants grow a lot faster than soil. That means I get fresh herbs on a regular basis, quicker than if I was growing them in soil. In soil plants grow much slower. In Hydroponics the plants will grow much faster because you control their environment. I love knowing I’ve grown them using the highest quality water and nutrients. I feel good about ingesting plants grown hydroponically versus plants grown outdoors using pesticides to keep away insects. Also outside you have to deal with uncontrollable animals that might eat your plants.

PC Grow Box

After purchasing a PC Grow Box, I truly began to enjoy the wonder and mystery of hydroponics. Learning hydroponics was easy with the instruction manual that was included with the garden machine. Plus, I found some fantastic videos on YouTube on hydroponics growing. I followed all the instructions watched the videos and learned to grow my own herbs.

I enjoy watching my garden grow. Every day as I watch my plants it fills me with a sense of accomplishment to create life. Looking at my plants and seeing how healthy and green they are shows me how beautiful nature can be when assisted by man and hydroponics

Hydroponics is essentially growing with water and nutrients instead of soil. The deep water culture hydroponic system essentially uses an air pump to blow air through an air stone to keep the water bubbling and oxygenated. It is this bubbling and oxygenating that makes the plants roots grow super fast and results in large organic yields.

Also having a really powerful light helps in hydroponics as well. The PC Grow Box has a very powerful compact fluorescent light that makes it easy to grow plants all year long. Hydroponics is fun and provides more food and herbs in a smaller space. You should try it.

I have never seen such a gorgeous flower book! Packed full of colorful photos of flowers. It does lack a little on the informtional side (for example what zone do the flowers grow best in…) but for inspiration, you cannot find a better book anywhere!

Seedling Heat Mat

homeandgarden — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:16:47 +0000

I actually bought mine from a garden store. I thought it might be a gimmicky product. I asked the woman, should I get this? She kinda shrugged and just told me to keep my receipt just in case.

Well, I am happy to say that I planted last Sunday and 4 days later, I already have cucumber starts that are 3 – 4 inches tall. The tomatoes are already starting to sprout, as are the basil. Only after I bought this did I see a time to germination chart for various plants based on various temperatures, and not it makes total sense why I am getting such good results. Very basic product, but very good.

Jiffy Peat Pellet Update Video

	Jiffy Peat Pellet Update Video Hey guys Dougie here. This is just another update on my medical grow. My peat pellets are not doing so good and kind of pissing me off. I have also made a few new purchases and that would be a seedling heating mat and a ph tester. I have decided to go ahead and start germinating a Blue Widow seed and also a Royal Haze seed. I will be out of town soon so my brother should be making some videos while I am gone. Don't forget to rate, comment, subscribe, and leave some feedback. Thanks!

Mini Greenhouse Source

I bought this green house to start seeds for the first time. I must say it works. It does what its ment to do. The only thing, its not very good for outside on windy days. I had it in the back of my house, and the wind blew it over 4 times. However it did not break.

I had about 50% germination using this item. And that was with good quality seeds. You really have to watch closely as mold grows quickly with all that moisture.

Bought this as part of gifts for my Mom who is an avid gardener and always wanted a greenhouse for her plants. The full sized ones take too much space but this is nice and compact but large enough for her needs.

Very easy to assemble in 15 minutes without tools and used some cable ties to secure the shelves to the frame. Put it outside in a protected patio with some sun to harden plants. The temperature is about 4-8 F higher in the greenhouse than outside.

Overall, does what is says and good value for money.

initially i was worried that some parts might have gotten lost as the box it came in had a lot of damage by the time we received it. however, once we put everything together (it IS easier with two people), we found that nothing was missing. we ended up bracing the greenhouse to the concrete in the backyard as lancaster,ca can get very, very windy. the instructions that came with the package was actually NOT for this particular size but, luckily, we figured it out. if not for the state of the box it came in (as well as the not-so-helpful instructions), i would’ve rated this product a “5.”
