Before you can make money with hydro farming, you need understand if you want to run a commercial or subsistence farm. Also, do you want to run your farm indoors or outdoors? Answering these questions will largely define your next moves as you set up your hydroponics farm.
Which Grow light to use for Hydroponics
For indoor hydroponics, the choice of plant lighting is very important and can have a massive impact on your plants health and yield. In this post, I go in-depth on how to choose an adequate grow light for hydroponics and what you need to watch out for when choosing your lighting solution.
How to Check and Adjust Hydroponic Nutrients
There are 17 plant nutrients. Hydroponic nutrients, which consist of known plant nutrients, are divided into 9 Macronutrients and 8 Micronutrients. In this post, I go guide you through checking and adjusting these levels to suit your plants.
How to choose a substrate for Hydroponics
While you are using water as your primary source of nutrients, there is still a need for a substrate where the seed is placed and the plant extends from. Your plants need stability and still be able to breathe and have space for their roots. There are many commonly used substrates, and following article, I will go over the most useful ones.
Everything about water PH in Hydroponics
Water PH is one of the most important things that newer Hydroponic growers often forget about. The water can only take in the nutrients at certain PH levels, so if your PH value is too high or too low, certain minerals might not be available to your plants. I included a chart in this Article, showing which nutrients are available at which PH levels.
