Quick Navigation

HYDROPONICS#1

A method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions instead.

NUTRIENT SOLUTIONS#2

Liquid mixtures containing essential nutrients for plant growth, crucial in hydroponic systems.

pH LEVEL#3

A measure of acidity or alkalinity in water; optimal pH is vital for nutrient absorption in plants.

CROP SELECTION#4

The process of choosing suitable plants for hydroponic growth based on compatibility and market demand.

SYSTEM DESIGN#5

The planning and structuring of a hydroponic setup to maximize efficiency and yield.

AEROPONICS#6

A type of hydroponics where roots are suspended in air and misted with nutrient solutions.

EBB AND FLOW#7

A hydroponic system that periodically floods the plant roots with nutrient solution and then drains.

DEEP WATER CULTURE#8

A hydroponic method where plant roots are submerged in nutrient-rich water with oxygen supplied via air stones.

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY#9

A lack of essential nutrients in plants, leading to poor growth and health.

CROP YIELD#10

The total quantity of crops produced in a specific area, often measured in weight.

TROUBLESHOOTING#11

The process of identifying and resolving issues within a hydroponic system.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE#12

Farming practices that maintain the health of the environment and resources while producing food.

URBAN GARDENING#13

Growing food in urban areas, often utilizing limited space and innovative techniques.

GROW LIGHTS#14

Artificial lights used to provide the necessary light spectrum for plant growth in indoor settings.

CLONING#15

A method of propagating plants by taking cuttings from a parent plant and encouraging root growth.

DRIP SYSTEM#16

A hydroponic system that delivers nutrient solution directly to plant roots through a network of tubes.

VERTICAL GARDENING#17

Growing plants upwards to save space, often used in urban hydroponic setups.

CIRCULATING SYSTEMS#18

Hydroponic setups that continually recycle nutrient solutions to maintain optimal conditions.

BIOFILM#19

A layer of microorganisms that can develop on surfaces in hydroponic systems, affecting plant health.

FERTILIZER#20

Substances added to nutrient solutions to provide essential minerals for plant growth.

PHOTOPERIOD#21

The length of day and night that influences plant growth and flowering.

MICROGREENS#22

Young, edible plants harvested just after the first leaves have developed, often grown hydroponically.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE#23

Regular checks and tasks performed to keep a hydroponic system functioning optimally.

GROWING MEDIUM#24

Substitutes for soil, like rock wool or clay pellets, used in hydroponics to support plant roots.

CROP ROTATION#25

The practice of alternating different crops in a hydroponic system to improve soil health and yield.
