What ishydroponics and what are the benefits of hydroponic gardening? Hydroponicscomes from two Greek words, “hydro” meaning water and “ponics” meaning labor.Hydroponics is known to have many advantages over typical soil gardening. Thegrowth rate on a hydroponic plant is about 30 percent faster than a soil plant,grown under the same conditions. In comparison, the hydroponic plant alsoproduces a greater yield. It is believed that the success of hydroponic plantsis, in part, due to the extra oxygen in growing mediums which help to enhanceroot growth. The more oxygen a plant receives, the quicker it is able to absorbvital nutrients. In hydroponic gardening the combination of water, oxygen, andnutrients are delivered directly into the roots instead of the plant needing tosearch in soil for necessary nutrients. Combine a source of light and plantswill quickly flourish. One final advantage I will mention (though there aremore) is that hydroponic gardening is said to be more environmentally friendlythan using soil. This is because it reduces waste and pollution from soilrunoff. There are various types of hydroponic systems and the items in thislisting are essential for a successful grow with most systems.

This listingwill include a standard bucket lid to fit a 3.5 to 7 gallon bucket. The bucketis not included in this listing but I strongly recommend black (dark to inhibitalgae growth). The necessary holes will be drilled into the lids, saving youtime and money (saw holes are not cheap). This listing will specificallyinclude six 2\" net cups with necessary holes drilled into the lid. Youwill also receive six rockwool cubes and clay pebbles to assist in the growingprocess. A 12 cell seed tray and humidity dome will help with the initialsprouting of your seeds. You will receive three 1 oz. bottles of pH up, pHdown, and nutrients (Floragro) with droppers for each bottle. Lastly, a newdigital pH meter will be included.
