Not all hydroponic systems rely on traditional growing mediums. In water-only and Deep Water Culture (DWC) systems, plant roots spend most or all of their time submerged in a nutrient-rich solution. Because of this, the role of a “growing medium” changes significantly. Instead of providing nutrients or water retention, substrates in these systems are mainly…
Aeroponics is one of the most innovative hydroponic systems available, allowing plants to grow with their roots suspended in air and periodically misted with nutrient-rich water. This method maximizes oxygen exposure to the roots, which can accelerate growth, increase yields, and improve nutrient absorption compared to traditional hydroponic systems like Ebb & Flow or DWC.…
