When growing hydroponics, there area unit a massive sort of growing mediums which will be used. The mediums embody materials, together with perlite, vermiculite, coconut fiber, gravel, sand, or any range of alternative materials. Even air is also used as a hydroponic growing medium. The hydroponic growing medium is AN inert substance that doesn't provide any nutrition to the plants.

All of the nutrition comes from the nutrient resolution, usually combining water and fertiliser. hydroponic fertiliser and fertiliser supposed to be used in soil (regular fertilizer) contain the 3 main nutrients. These nutrients area unit chemical element, Phosphorus, and K. the most distinction between hydroponic fertiliser and dirt fertiliser is that hydroponic husbandry fertilizers contain the correct amounts of all of the essential micro-nutrients that regular fertilizers don't embody. The plants area unit expected to search out these components within the soil.

Problems could arise for the plants if any or all of the micro-nutrients aren't gift within the soil or are depleted by ordered or excessive plantings. hydroponic husbandry fertilizers area unit sometimes in an exceedingly a lot of pure kind than area unit regular fertilizers so that they area unit a lot of stable and soluble.

Organic fertilizers area unit usually terribly totally different than either the hydroponic fertilizers or the dirt fertilizers in however the deliver nutrients to the plants. The organic fertilizers have confidence the action of microorganism and microbes to assist break down the fabric into its basic components therefore the plant will simply use it. agriculture and regular fertilizers then provide the plants with these components.

Another distinction between hydroponic and regular husbandry is that growing hydroponics are often very sophisticated. hydroponics area unit managementled with computers and sensors that facilitate control everything from watering cycles to nutrient strength, and therefore the quantity of sunshine the plants receive. However, hydroponics can even be very simple. the common home hydroponic system sometimes consists of a couple of basic elements, together with a growing receptacle, a reservoir, a timer controlled submersible pump to water the plants, and an vacuum pump to oxygenate the nutrient resolution. Light is, of course, conjointly needed to assist the hydroponic garden to grow.

There {are also|also are|are} micro-nutrients that are needed for healthy plant growth. These micro-nutrients embody calcium, sulfur, magnesium, boron, cobalt, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, and metallic element. These nutrients are the essential components that plants want in very little amounts. Plants area unit likely to become sick while not these trace components and can develop all styles of issues reckoning on that nutrient is missing.

The lack of micro-nutrients in food crops will mean a lack of nutrients within the food. this can lead to the food not being as healthy because it might be and potentially lead individuals to develop health issues thanks to the dearth of those essential components. Any agriculture gardener has to use a decent quality hydroponic fertiliser once they area unit growing plants mistreatment hydroponics.

It is conjointly important that the pH scale is controlled in each growing hydroponics and within the soil moreover. Plants lose the power to soak up totally different nutrients once the pH scale varies. The pH scale should be monitored throughout the whole growth cycle of the plants to keep up the utmost healthy uptake of nutrients. The pH scale of the nutrient resolution can have an effect on however well every component will meet up with the foundation plasma membrane to nourish the plant. Once the gardener has properly tag the fertiliser concentrations and therefore the pH scale of that resolution, they will typically assume it'll keep steady blackball any unforeseen root disease.

Gardeners should monitor their system an excessive amount of instead of deficient to avoid any issues. the power to quickly and simply check and management pH scale in hydroponics may be a major advantage over regular husbandry, wherever testing and adjusting the pH scale is far a lot of sophisticated and time overwhelming.

Hydroponic Farming - The pros and the Cons

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sun, 22 Mar 2015 10:27:00 +0000

When it involves a number of the issues we tend to face within the world with regards to food production, hydroponic husbandry offers some promising solutions. within the poorer countries wherever the parcel or climate is inhospitable to agriculture, hydroponics offers a way of growing healthy foods simply. Also, in those areas wherever the soil has lost its nutrients or fertile land is difficult to return by, hydroponics will turn out healthy foods using minimum area and resources.

As with all things though, it's not all excellent news. There are several pros and cons any farmer ought to weigh before deciding to arrange to hydroponic gardening.

First, the pros. compared to ancient farming, hydroponic growing will be additional productive in 2 ways in which. For one, hydroponic husbandry saves space. Plants will be placed rather more closely along than in ancient fields attributable to the manner nutrients square measure provided to them. As several as fourfold as several plants will be big in same quantity of space using hydroponic techniques! second, farming minimizes several of the issues related to ancient farming which suggests less sickly, damaged, or wasted crops.

Because hydroponic growers customise their own nutrients mixes, it takes the guess calculate of deciding that field has the simplest soil and correct nutrition that crop. The nutrient mix is that the right one for the particular plant, within the right ratios, every time. Also, soil primarily based diseases are just about eliminated as a result of there's no soil. These 2 factors alone build farming an especially economical technique for manufacturing food.

Benefits accrue to the setting also. The water consumption in hydroponic growing is significantly less than ancient ways. In several cases, hydroponic crops use only 1 tenth of the water! conjointly, the water that's used is used additional effectively. for instance weeds cannot come in and steal a part of the crop's water. and since the crops are in a very controlled setting and not in a very field, there's no pesticide run-off water to contaminate the encircling ground.

The benefits aren't without their prices however. The expense of hydroponic growing is a part wherever enhancements have to be compelled to be created. The nutrient mixtures and growing mediums used will be dear.

Hydroponic growing also needs a rise in energy consumption. much hydroponic growing happens in greenhouses, wherever vital amounts of electricity are utilized in order to grant the hydroponic plants all the light they have.

While analysis is occurring to do and convey the prices down (such as within the field of aquaponics), farming will be financially preventative for those areas wherever it's most required.

Research within the field of hydroponics is filled with promise and far and much has to be done. several of the issues are being addressed but, and plenty of farmers and amateur gardeners are eagerly awaiting new developments during this promising field.

How to plant tomatoes in Hydroponic System

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sat, 07 Mar 2015 11:10:00 +0000

1. Decide which type of system to use.

There several type of system, tomatoes can live well in several type of it, in these tutorial i choose manual fertigation system, which is relative easy and cheap for me to build.

2. Fill a bucket of ice cream with husk coal and zeolite grave.

I made bucket from a 3 gallon ice cream bucket. Make sure the gallon holed in about 3 inch from bottom to prevent water from soaking all the roots which could rot root in tomatoes plant

3. Move seedling to the bucket.

Wait the roots until start protrude from the bottom of the rockwool, and "true leaf" start to grow different shape from first one or "seedling leafs". Make hole with spoon or hand about 1 inch at top of zeolit and husk coal in the bucket. Place the seedling in that hole, and cover the seedling rockwool with zeolit and husk coal. Start to watering with nutrition solution. Follow the instructions on the packaging to determine how much you need to grow your tomatoes plant.

4. Keep watering your tomatoes.
Tomatoes can grow perfectly with eC 3–5 and pH 5.8–6.3 and ready to harvest about 90 days from seedling.

The pH, EC and cF for hydroponic plants.

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 13:07:00 +0000

The pH, EC(electro-conductivity) and cF(Conductivity Factor) for hydroponic plants values specified here given as a broad range. It should be noted that specific plant requirements will vary according to regional climatic conditions, and from season to season within that region. These values are intended for Hydroponic plants only (soil grown plants will different). Electro-Conductivity (EC) or Conductivity Factor (cF) can be expressed as either milliSiemens (mS), cF, or parts per million (PPM) 1 mS = 10cF = 700ppm.

Hidroponic Definition

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 08:15:00 +0000

Hydroponics

Hydroponic definition -> hydro = water, ponos = power, hydroponics = empower water.

Do not be written and pronounced as HYDROPHONIC, because phonos = voice, so that it becomes the sound of water. Pain to hear it!

Definition = miscellaneous! Soilless culture, cultivation in the greenhouse, organic cultivation, the important results are superior in quality and quantity, water saving, energy saving, versatility / agility is high, environmentally friendly, no contamination by E. coli bacteria, and produce products that are healthy, hygienic, aromatic, with protein and vitamins in abundance, and look attractive and appetizing to consume.
Admittedly require large capitalization, high managerial skills, advanced network marketing, and human resources that are reliable! Do it!

SOME SYSTEM hydroponic cultivation.

1 Using the media, for example:

a) Soil.

The disadvantage is that many contain germs and bacteria or fungi cyste / cyst, which will explode after several months of illness. Also contain many weed seeds, which will appear from time to time. Sometimes contain the seeds of pests, such as caterpillars Agrotis soil, and some types of nematodes, al Meloidogyne.
b) Sand. It has been abandoned, because it is expensive, difficult to obtain, expensive transportation, high distribution costs in the garden, heavy, dense, small air cavities, dense compact root growth difficult.

c) Topsoil, Compost.

Only good for plants grown vegetatively, for example leafy vegetables: spinach, caysim, kale, pakchoy, kailan, lettuce.

d) Cocopeat, coir peat powder.

The content of high saponinnya, kadang2> EC 3.0 mS / cm, resulting in less opportunity to provide fertilizer, without overshooting phyto-toxicity. Should be washed with running water, until its saponin EC 0.0 to 0.5, depending on whether the crop to be planted succulent or woody plants.

e). Husk charcoal.

If not harvest rice, the husk is hard to come by. When you make your own, because the technology pe, homemade easy.

2 Using the medium of water.

a) NFT - Nutrient Film Technic - Hydroponic Gutter ramps.

NFT system, made in Belgium, imported ready-to-wear, in Indonesia belonging to the late Ir Sunarto in Jln Semboja, Margonda, Depok, year 1983, I made a local version using household rain gutters. Gutters with the flatness of tangency 5%, the nutrient solution to flow with thickness 3-4 mm, making it rich in dissolved oxygen, because ripples swirling in direct contact with air. NFT systems are very popular!

b) DFT - Deep Flow Technic - Hydroponics Gutters Flat.

The depth of water is maintained at a depth of no more than 8 cm, so that the load is not too heavy for the gutters. Water enters at one end and exit through the hole at a height of 8 cm at the other end. Aeration in this system is less than perfect, so it is difficult to achieve high production.
Between Styrofoam mounted at a height of 10 cm, with the water surface at a height of 8 cm, no air cavity 2 cm thick, for aeration.

c). Floating Raft Technic - Floating Raft Hydroponics.

Pool with a depth of 40 cm, filled with nutrient solution as thick as 30 cm, 3 cm thick styrofoam diapungi, given the decades of the planting hole, planting vegetable seedlings child leaves, the roots dangling into the nutrient solution. With the added air blower into the reservoir, to increase levels of dissolved oxygen. Management of installation is very easy.

3 Using the medium of water and soil / mud.

a) Tidal Hydroponics - Ebb and Flood.

Usually used in the production of ornamental plants in pots. Pots were placed in tubs and pots feet high nutrient solution digenang by 4-8 cm, for a few minutes, then a solution of the gravity flow out again, done once every few days. Pot contains media, usually mixed soil organic material. Height of soaking solution should be limited, to prevent the media floats and destroy crops.

b) Hydroponic immersion.

Rice fields is an immersion hydroponic system, with water flowing slowly, driven by the water flow at the inlet of 1 liter / hectare / sec, a large amount. (Excluded: Rainfed rice fields, which receive water supply from rain, and the water retained in the soil as long as possible.)

4 Using air as a medium

Aeroponics. Children seedlings were planted into the planting hole, which was made on a piece of styrofoam, freely swinging roots down. Covered by fog droplets nutrient solution, through sprinklers are driven by a high pressure pump, continuously without stopping, roots bathed in fine grains, the dissolved-oxygen content is very high, which is very supportive of the process of respiration. The solution is not the root collected and fed back to the tank / reservoir nutrient solution, for re-circulation. First Day of aeroponic system will be widely applied to transform and produce parent seed potatoes, and hence we must begin to focus on the technique of aeroponics. Successful experiments have also been done on aeroponic production of cut flowers of Chrysanthemum / Chrysanthemum and Lily. Age of the plant can be reduced from 12 weeks to 8 weeks. The number of flowers that bloom simultaneously can be increased from two to three florets. The brightness of colors and scents can also be improved a bit.

anorganic salts to mix FERTILIZER hydroponics.
anorganic salt used in making the selected hydroponic fertilizer containing macro nutrients, which is essential, absolutely necessary in large quantities, to form the body of the plant, in order to high production quantity and quality. It is also necessary micro nutrients which is also essential, indispensable though in small amounts, and mostly act as enzymes.
Rows of elements are added regarded as "beneficial elements", elements favorable. Na can be a substitute for K, K-poor soils, with symptoms of drooping palm leaf midrib. Farmers fertilize with NaCl salt, so that the next midrib upright. Si, silicate, strengthen plant tissue, so it can not attack the fungus disease. Cl, chlorine, to be feared and avoided, as it can interfere with the household-water plant tissue, formation of giant cells, filled with water, the consistency of cell damage, leading to bland products without taste.
Nutrients that after entering into the plant body, constantly changing shape, into proteins, fats, etc., and do not be mistaken them roaming loose as individual elements. Usually the elements collected in vacuoles inside the cell, waiting processed by ribosomes which are also located in the cell, in order to be proteins, tissue / tissue, organ / organs, etc.

Start Planting

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:35:00 +0000

Start Planting

What you need to start hidroponik plant ? Ok lets start with equipment you need

Rockwool.

You need media to start seedling rockwool is common media, if you does not have rockwool, husk coal good for seedling too.
Tray seed.

Of course you need tray seed to seedling plant you want, tray seed will keep your husk coal stay in place.
Seed.

Of course you need seed for seedling, to start hydroponic gardening.
and Water.

Yes we need watering our seedling with just tap water you have not with ab mix.

After all you need for seedling ready, we can start to seedling.

Soak the Rockwool cubes in the water for 1 hour to stabilize them. Rockwool contains fibers that are dangerous to your lungs if you inhale them. Wear a dust mask when handling the cubes.
Insert seeds in the hole on top of the cube. Insert two seeds for basil, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers and tomatoes and six to eight seeds for herbs.
Place the cubes containing the seeds in a nursery tray at 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Water every one or two days. The seeds should begin to sprout in a day or two. The roots will show through the bottom of the cube.
Transplant to a hydroponic garden when the plant is 2 to 3 inches tall and has three or four leaves. Most plants take one to three weeks include phakchoy; tomatoes and peppers may need a week longer.

Ok Thats all for now. Wait for few days to transplant plant to hydroponic system. Happy gardening

HYDROPONIC

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:24:00 +0000

Hydroponics

Hydroponics (UK: hydroponic) is derived from the Greek words hydro meaning water and ponos means power. Hydroponics is also known as soilless culture or cultivation of plants without soil. So hydroponic cultivation which means using water and without the use of soil as a growing medium or soilless.
In the study of language, the word hydroponics comes from hydro meaning water and ponos meaning labor. So, has the sense of freely hydroponic farming techniques with an emphasis on meeting the nutritional requirements of the plant, or in terms of day-to-day farming without soil. From this definition it appears that the emergence of hydroponic farming techniques initiated by the higher human attention on the importance of the need fertilizer for plants.
Wherever the growth of crops will be able to grow well when nutrients needed is always fulfilled. In this context is a function of the soil to support plant and the water is nutrient solvent, to absorbed by plants. The mindset that eventually led to the hydroponic farming techniques, in which the emphasis was on the fulfillment of nutritional needs.

There are six systems in Hydroponic

Aeroponic system
Drip system
NFT
Ebb and flow system
Water Culture System
Wick System

A little explanation about the system above.

AEROPONIC

Perhaps of some hydroponic system most high-tech and may also provide best result and the fastest growth in Hydroponic gardening. This is possible because the nutrient solution is given or spray (mist form) directly to the root and more easily absorb the nutrient solution and also contains a lot of oxygen.

DRIPSYSTEM:

Drip hydroponic system is the system most widely used. Simple operating system, timer controls the pump. At the time of ignition, pump shed nutrients to each plant.

NFT (NUTRIENT FILM TECHNIQUE)

This system is the system that most people know when they hear the name of hydroponics. The NFT system continuously flowing nutrient without using a timer to the pump. These nutrients flowing into the gully past the plant roots and then back into the water reservoir.

EBB & FLOW SYSTEM

Ebb & Flow system works by temporarily flooding the container growth with nutrients, and then restore the nutrients into the reservoir. This system requires a pump connected to a timer.

WATERCULTURE

Walter Culture is the most simple hydroponic system. Containers that hold plants are usually made of Styrofoam and floats directly on the nutrient. pump pumping air trough the water stone that makes the bubbles and provide oxygen to the roots of plants.

WICKSYSTEM

Wick system is one of the most simple hydroponic system. The system includes a passive, because no parts are moving. Nutrients flowing into the growth medium from the container using a similar axis.

HYDROPONICS SYSTEM

Hydroponics is a technology for growing plants in nutrient solutions (water containing fertilizers) with or without the use of artificial media (sand, gravel, vermiculite, rockwool, perlite, Peatmoss, coir, or sawdust) to provide mechanical support.
The term hydroponics (hydroponics) is used to explain how to grow crops without the use of soil as a planting medium.

Hydroponic systems are grouped into two, namely the growing media culture and the cultural nutrient solution.In cultured planting media, plant cultivation performed using compact porous media as the place where plant roots grow. Planting medium used may be organic media, inorganic, or a mixture of both. Based on the method of administration of nutritional solutions, culture media can be divided into two groups, namely sub-irrigation (subsurface irrigation) and top irrigation (surface irrigation). Because irrigation is often applied to the top hydroponics system using a drIpper then the system is known as drip irrigation systems (drip irrigation systems). Sub-irrigation is divided into two, namely the passive sub-irrigation (irrigation system with the principle of capillary), and the ebb and flow (and flow irrigation system)
In the culture nutrient solution, does not use plant mediam planting or growing medium, so that the roots of plants grown in the nutrient or air solution nutrient.Culture divided into three major groups, namely the stagnan solution, recirculated nutrient solution, and aeroponics. Hydroponic systems are selected based on consideration of the type of plants to be cultivated, investment policy, workforce competencies, and climatic conditions. Some commonly used in hydroponic cultivation of commercial crops is irrigation drip system, ebb and flow system, passive hydroponics, floating hydroponics, nutrient movie technique, and aeroponics. In the present study the authors will focus the discussion on NFT system.

ADVANTAGE HYDROPONIC SYSTEM

Hydroponic farming can be developed rapidly because this way has many advantages. The main advantages are the success of the plant to grow and produce more reliable. In addition, other advantages as follows:

Treatment is more practical and more controlled pests
The use of fertilizer is more efficient
Plants that die more easily replaced with new plants
Does not require a lot of manual labor due to more efficient working methods and standardizadion
Plants can grow more rapidly and the harvest cleaner and not damaged
Some types of plants can be cultivated in the off-season
No risk of flooding, erotion, drought, or dependence on natural conditions
hydroponics Plant can be work on land or limited space such as roof, kitchen, or garage
The hydroponic harvest gardening can be packed and stored in a fresh life for a longer time
Full root system of the plants are always supervised
No need to worry about watering
Hydroponic system can be developed on imposible land that such as the snowy ground and outer space.

· In hydroponic gardening in a greenhouse production does not use soil, weeds and pests thereby rarely found. So the use of pesticides and insecticides are not necessary
· A hydroponic garden can be set with a timer system to automatically fertilize plants
· Results of production due to receiving healthy balanced nutrition and controlled
· Stable, secure, and high yield
· Does not require soil
· The water remains in the system and can be reused, and thus the cost of water use is relatively low
· Allows to control the overall nutrition levels thus, relatively efficient nutrient use
· There is no nutrition pollution is released into the environment as controlled in the system
· Stable and has a high yield
· Pest and disease more easily removed.

From the above it can be concluded that cultivation without soil gives mores advantage, especially for urban people who have a narrow area. This way of adding value to create the proper afforestation-place is no longer possible with the trees planted soil media.

HYDROPONICS SYSTEM DISADVANTAGE

On a commercial scale applications requires technical knowledge and a good understanding of the principles.
On a commercial scale, the initial investment is relatively high, although it will reap the results of which are also high in the medium and long term.
Keep caution to the preparation of the formula (fertilizer) and plant health control.
Requires constant water supply. Highly electricity dependent.

working principle of hydroponic system
Understanding of the working principles of hydroponics is definitely one of the success factors in implementing this culture system.
Here are 5 principles of hydroponics work need to understood:
Preparation a clean place Cultivating area, no shade, and a transparent plastic roof of the greenhouse.
Where the cultivation is shadeless,receive direct sunlight from morning until evening is one of the important things that must be considered.
On the other hand, a closed transparent plastic roof of the building to avoid the rain soaked crops, the cultivation of buildings called lathhouse.
Installing drip irrigation method uses the force of gravity.
Provide a planting medium that is porous, sterile, lightweight, easy to obtain, and inexpensive. Type of planting medium that meets the above requirements is the husk. Media can be made at your own in a simple way.

Provide a nutrient solution containing 16 essential nutrients in perfect dose, concentration, composition, pH, and volume to the cultivated plants. Perform good maintenance, especially for trimming, installation and controling pest and disease.
