ALL HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS ARE FOR COLLECTION ONLY
In layman’s terms, ‘hydroponics’ is the process of gardening without the use of soil. In fact, the term is Latin for ‘working water’. In the absence of soil, a hydroponics system will use water to provide plants with the nutrients they require.
And, although it may sound like hydroponic systems are cutting edge technology, they’ve actually been around in one form or another since ancient times. One of the earliest examples of hydroponics systems was the hanging gardens of Babylon – one of the original seven wonders of the world!
Plants sustain themselves through photosynthesis and they do not need soil for this. What they do need is nutrients. When dissolved in water, nutrients can be applied directly to the roots of a plant by flooding or immersion. Innovations in hydroponic systems have proved that directly exposing plants to nutrient-filled water offers a more versatile and effective approach to growth than traditional methods.
Hydroponic systems essentially work by giving the grower complete control over environmental conditions. This includes temperature control, PH balance and maximising exposure to nutrients and water. The very simple principle of hydroponics systems is to provide plants with what they need when they need it.
As a result, hydroponics systems are designed to provide nutrient solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of the plants you are growing. They also allow you to control the amount of light plants receive and for how long. PH Levels can be regularly monitored and adjusted as required. In this type of customised, controlled environment, plant growth has been proven to accelerate.
The use of hydroponics systems enables you to control the environment. This in turn reduces many of the risk factors associated with growing plants. It can reduce the possibility of fungus leading to disease, wildlife helping themselves to vegetables and insect infestation. Hydroponic systems will also remove the unpredictability of growing plants outdoors in a natural environment. Seedlings will in many cases mature at a much quicker rate.
The elimination of pesticides allows hydroponic systems to produce far healthier and better quality fruits and vegetables. By removing obstacles, plants become free to grow much faster.
Unfortunately, due to their make up, our hydroponics systems cannot be delivered. You would be required to collect the system from our store in Manchester. However, the benefit of this is that it will give you a chance to discuss your exact requirements with our expert team. This will ensure you get the hydroponic system that matches your exact requirements.
The simple answer to that is yes, if you check our online store, you will find everything from larger items such as grow lights and grow tents to a comprehensive range of nutrients.
