Soiless Grow Guide

Soiless planting, or hydroponics, is a particular method of growing plants using a nutrient mineral solution instead of dirt. Soil itself contains no nutrients but acts as the delivery system for the nutrients mixed in the earth to the roots. So, plant roots can also be grown directly in the mineral solution alone, or with the addition of other substances like gravel, perilite, or mineral wool. Almost any plant will grow in these conditions.

• Benefits of the Static Solution Culture Method
• Crops raised using the hydroponics techniques have a higher yield than those grown in soil alone because the amount of light is controlled and there are no bugs and disease. Hydroponic planting can be used in areas where there is not enough land or healthy soil in which to grow.
• Static solution culture is one of the simplest ways to plant without soil. The nutrient mixture is static, or stationary, and is kept in a container. In other, more complicated methods, the solution flows continuously over the roots, and there are no solid materials.
