An experiment looking at the ability of grow lights from different manufactureres and of different intensities to stimulate cherry tomato plant growth and fruit development. Read this post to find out how to set up an experiment yourself, and to learn how to measure the efficiency of plant growth.
Almost any type of plant can be grown using hydroponics gardening techniques to yield healthy produce all year round. This is proven by the successful growth of broccoli in the middle of winter. Read this post to learn more.
Chicago O’Hare international airport has installed 26 grow towers that are based on the vertical hydroponics principle. Watch the video within this post to find out exactly how the system works and what the airport is doing with the produce it is growing hydroponically.
A Japanese company promoting urban gardens is utilising all of the available light in its offices to grow vegetables and flowers using hydroponics gardening methods. Read this post to find out about a visit from Pakistan to this company.
Hydroponics gardening is able to produce more plants, in smaller spaces, with increasing yields. Read this post to find out why plants are able to thrive so well in an environment without soil.
Commercial hydroponic growers continue to amaze me with the scale and the quality of crop they produce on a continuous basis. This post looks at a hydroponics lettuce farm that is growing a number of lettuce varieties.
A vertical hydroponics garden that has been constructed with PVC pipes and is being used to grow hydroponic tomatoes and cucumbers. Have a look at the video to see the results that are being obtained after 3 weeks of plant growth.
Vertical hydroponics systems that are easy and cheap to build and easy to maintain. One is made of plastic bottles that are used as growth containers. They are arranged vertically above one another so that hydroponic nutrients flow from the top plant down through all of the other plants and then back to the reservoir to be recycled.
Plants can be grown indoors using hydroponic systems to produce fruit and herbs all year round. Flood and drain hydroponics systems can be used to grow almost any plant, and are a good choice for indoor hydroponics systems. A small system can easily grow say 10 plants including hydroponic tomatoes and herbs. Hydroponics lights provide the light plants need all year round.
A new hydroponic growing medium that is inert and will be available to use in home hydroponics gardens. The product doesn’t yet have a name. It is made of a material that is cut into cubes and used in a way much like expanded clay. The material is very dry, similar to perlite and vermiculite, although results of its use look amazing.
