Defining and Preventing Root Rot in your hydroponic Garden Root rot is a common yet unwelcome pest in any hydroponic garden. This fungus-like organism Pythium has many species. The three most common species of this organism are Pythium irregulare, Pythium aphanidermatum, and Pythium ultimum. These species of Pythium can be found in water sources as well as in soil. Pythium aphanidermatum is most commonly found in Poinsettia plants and few other plants. Pythium aphanidermatum and Pythium irregulare cause the most damage in ebb and flow systems because the organism has a swimming spore stage that can attack your plants quickly. Pythium ultimum is most closely associated with soil and sand though it is not as prevalent as the other species of this organism.

The Troubles that High Temps Can Have on your hydroponic Plants High temperatures in your hydroponics system can cause many problems for the plants being grown. The temperature within your hydroponic system should be maintained at a level where plants are able to survive. A high nutrient temperature can cause your plants many problems. If the temperature becomes too high, it’s advisable to use an extractor fan to reduce them, but it’s not a good idea to rapidly cool the environment. Plants don’t like fluctuations in temperature, and practices such as this could kill plants. The extractor can be linked to a thermostat to ensure that the room never reaches the high temperatures again. High temperatures can have a negative growth affect on many of your plants. Temperature of the nutrient solution should be in the range of 65 to 80 degrees. If you’re going to add water to your reservoir, then it’s a good idea to allow the water to come to the same temperature as the water in Read More Here

Aquaponics – hydroponic’s First Cousin in the Gardening World Many people may have heard about aquaponics and hydroponics, but not really understood what the difference between these two terms is, or even what they mean to the world of gardening. hydroponics, which is a Latin term meaning “working water,” is the growth of plants without soil which involves supplying all of the nutrients usually supplied by soil to plants via water. Aquaponics combines the breeding of fish in a controlled environment with hydroponic plant growing – the plants and the fish are bred together in one integrated system, which benefits both of them. The plants and fish come together to create a sustainable, healthy ecosystem for food production, which leads to increased output of both plants and fish, as opposed to fish farming or hydroponic gardening independently. Aquaponics solves a problem that consistently faces fish farmers and hydroponic gardeners. The water that farmers use to breed their f Read More Here

Quick Results for your hydroponic Vegetables and Flowers Have you ever wanted a garden that would produce beautiful flowers and delicious fruits year ‘round? You can if you create a hydroponic garden in your home. A well-balanced nutrient solution for your hydroponic garden is the key to success. The nutrient solution circulates around the roots of your plant and the formula will either make your plants happy and fruitful or kill them. The perfect level must be found for the plants you are trying to feed. The pH level for plants determines what type of nutrient solution that they need. Acid loving plants need a pH level below 7 while other plants need a level above 7 to achieve optimal growth. In addition, for optimal absorption of the nutrient solution, air must be allowed to circulate around the roots of the plants.
