    What Is Hydroponics?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants<\/a> and vegetables. However, Instead of using the traditional medium of soil to supply the plant its nutrients, the plant is fed through a solution of nutrient rich water.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    The plant’s root system is usually supported by some kind of inert medium such as coco coir, gravel, perlite or rockwool.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    The word hydroponics is derived from two greek words \u2018hydro\u2019 meaning \u2018water\u2019 and \u2018ponos\u2019 which translates to \u2018toil\u2019 or \u2018work\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    This perfectly describes what hydroponics is, as now the water becomes the main source of feeding your plants their nutrients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Although you can grow hydroponically outside, the term in it\u2019s more modern sense is typically used to describe growing plants inside using UV lights to simulate the rays of the sun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    How Does Hydroponics Work?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Hydroponics systems work by allowing the plant the ideal environment for them to thrive under. You supply the lights, the area for the plants to grow and all of the nutrient rich water the plant will need to grow big and strong.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    There are many different methods of growing hydroponically, (Covered later in the article) but all share some common components such as:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
