Hydroponics

Water is the essential ingredient of all life, and it has an especially vital role in the life of plants. Water provides the transport of nutrients and energy (salts and sugars) to the cells within a plant. Unfortunately, the soil and environment that plants generally grow in are far from perfect. Therefore, the goal with hydroponics is to try to replicate what occurs in a perfectly natural and optimal growing setting. This is achieved by consistently enriching the water with nutrients, and then making these available for absorption by our plants. We refer to this water as a balanced ’nutrient solution.’
