These lettuce plants are HUGE! They are placed in the systems with zinnias and are part of the biological tests that have been running. Each tray has a different biological agent, and the results of growth and yield are meticulously recorded. We are running the same products with the cucumbers that I’ve shared in the past.

One of our readers recently wrote in to ask for an update on the Aerogarden strawberry hack. Andy replied, and I thought his comment would make a great post:

Hey David,

llowing up! I’ve been through a lot here at GH since those Aerogarden Strawberries, and I suppose my update slipped through the cracks!

They finished okay. The constant issue with indoor strawberries is pollination. I attempted to hand pollinate them, however none took successfully. I doubt the Aerogarden light would have had the intesity to produce any kind of larger strawberries anyway.

The vegetative growth was great, the Nova really made the roots and foliage exceed my expectations. Blend worked well in there too, however it did make maintenance more frequent. I was changing the reservoir every week to keep up with cleanliness.

At the height of vegetative growth, they really started to transpire heavily, and I was topping off the res every 2 days minimum. The surface area of the leaves was quite large, and at times they were overlapping one another. That, combined with the heavy transpiration led to some weird fungal development, and gnarled leaf growth.

At highest dosage, the Aerogarden was receiving 10 ml/Nova. I pulled the Blend off towards the end, but kept it strong throughout the growth period at 10ml/gallon.

I would say stick to leafy greens and vegetative growth plants in the Aerogarden. The space issues and lack of heavy light intensity would probably hinder any worthwhile fruit development.

It is nice to be able to keep the light EXTREMELY close, due to it’s low temp, however that doesn’t make up for lack of penetration power.

Happy Growing!

By the people who brought you the Ant Farm, the Hydro Greenhouse 2! It’s like an aeroflow, but for kids! Anyone out there given this a try? I’d love to know what you thought!

General Hydroponics’ FloraSeries is the formula that has produced more high yielding grows than any other in the world. It is the cornerstone that the entire hydroponics industry was built on. Some things never change. There is nothing we will ever alter in our definitive 3 part nutrient.

Despite our dedication to the integrity of our original recipe, in the 3 decades since GH introduced FloraSeries, we have grown and blossomed as a company. Our researchers continue to create cutting edge, advanced nutrients for all types of growers. The GH engineers constantly strive to implement new technology and increase our use of renewable energy. And our visual designers are always at work on eye-catching and informative labeling.

Introducing the new art for FloraSeries. Everything about the new labels has been improved. The classic elements that you recognize in Micro, Grow, and Bloom now have more real estate on the bottle. The text is clearer, and the information you need the most, the NPK, is even easier to find at a glance. It is a fresh perspective on our most consistent product.

What is Hydroponics

> 

What is Hydroponics Hydroponics is the art of growing plants using water and nutrients without the need for soil. Most of the time plants are grown with their roots simply growing down into nutrient enriched water. However, some plants need a little support so instead of the roots being left in water alone a non-soil component such as coconut husk, gravel or perlite is provided into which the plants roots grow and spread. In hydroponics these soil substitutes are called growing mediums.

What is Hydroponics

Virtually any plant can be grown using hydroponics, because the plant only needs nutrients and water to grow. In nature soil merely acts as a sponge that holds or suspends nutrients within its structure. Plants do not need the soil itself to grow just the nutrients suspended within it.

What is Hydroponics

Hydroponics Produces Healthy Plants

Using hydroponics all of the plants being grown can be fed whatever you want to give them whenever you want to give it to them. Meaning it is possible to exactly meet the plants needs at any point. Provided you feed the plants correctly throughout the growing process you can produce totally healthy plants 100% of the time. There are no failed harvests; no diseased fruit and the plants are as nutritionally rich as possible.

What is Hydroponics

Hydroponics Is Easy

With just a little research and patience anyone can grow plants using hydroponics. All you need is the right equipment and a little space. You can even get started with hydroponics with a bucket, a few seeds and some water. However, the key to growing healthy plants is the right balance of nutrients, so ideally you need some hydroponics fertiliser to ensure the plants you keep in the bucket are getting the right balance of nutrients tap water alone does not always contain enough nutrients.

What is Hydroponics

Hydroponics is growing in popularity because it means that any plant can be grown anywhere. All you need to do is to create the correct ambient temperature and give the plant the sun or shade that it needs, which if you grow indoors or under plastic is relatively easy to achieve.

Decried by skeptics as myth and superstition, and hailed by others as a provider of natural energy, a taste enhancer and an instrument of wellness, the Bio Disc has had mixed reviews. The Bio Disc is a natural mineral compacted glass disc that is created using high heat fusion methods.

The premise upon which the Bio-disc works is that of being able to transfer what is known as Nano Energizing Frequency to liquids and thereby causing them to behave or taste different.

In theory this can cause liquids to boil more quickly, appear lighter, and be able to refract more light.

Bio discs are supposed to be able to ‘treat’ water in a way that will make the water ‘stress free’ and cause the drinker to feel greater vitality. A portable, circular object, it requires no power supply and can be carried anywhere.

It is supposed to produce Scalar Energy frequencies that are free of any side effects. This is also supposed to be able to make refrigerated foods and liquids taste better by enhancing the taste of food and beverages.

It can also:

• Help to improve sleep patterns and make one sleep more soundly.

• It may help not only to reduce insomnia but also stress and fatigue to enhance energy and charge up a person.

• Since it calms the mind, it can help in improving cognitive abilities.

• It increases the amount of oxygen in the water that you drink by changing the molecular structure is one claim. So it follows that this implement also increases the oxygenation of blood.

• It helps to make certain changes in foods that help the body ingest and absorb the nutrients contained therein.

• It is also supposed to create balance within the body and its life force of Chi.

• It can help in pain relief and in enhancing the immune system of the body.

• It can help to clear up skin problems, if placed under the pillow at night, according to some claims.

• Relieving cramps, and chronic back pain are some of the other ailments that may be helped by using a bio disc.

The ‘energy’ from the biodisc spins into the liquid clockwise and when the liquid is poured over the bio disc it picks up resonance which is the sort that is found in the soil near natural spas and minerals springs of the world.
