Hydroponic growing and product questions  

What can be grown in hydroponics?

Virtually any plant can be grown in a hydroponic system. Leafy greens and most herbs are perfect for almost any hydroponic system. Vining crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers grow well with hydroponics but will take up more space and may require trellising. 

What is the most important factor in hydroponics?

We are primarily concerned with the pH of the water used to make up nutrient solutions and irrigate plants. pH is a measure of the relative acidity or hydrogen ion concentration and it plays an important role in plant nutrient availability.

 

What are the advantages of hydroponics?

The main advantages of hydroponics are greater water efficiency, less nutrient runoff, the quantity and speed of yields, fewer pests and diseases, no arable land is needed, and it takes up less space than traditional farming.
 

Why are fans important for hydroponics? 

There are numerous reasons why air movement fans are important for hydroponics. Humidity around plants is typically higher when growing in this way, and this can lead to an increased risk of mould and bacteria. A fan will keep air moving, lowering the humidity level, and helping your plants to stay healthy. View our collection of air movement fans. 

Do hydroponic plants need sunlight?

Light is required for hydroponics, but not necessarily sunlight. Many hydroponic growers grow exclusively indoors, replacing the sun with grow lights that use either LED, fluorescent, incandescent, or HPS bulbs.

Are LED lights good for hydroponics? 

LED lights are a fantastic alternative to more traditional HPS grow lights as they’re energy efficient and boast a customisable spectrum. Their impressive technology means that LED lights can help growers achieve unrivalled plant growth and an improved yield. 

What Should Be the Distance Between Grow Lights and Plants?

Proper grow light placement is crucial for healthy plant growth:

Adjusting grow lights correctly helps avoid light burn and ensures even light distribution in your hydroponic setup.

What’s the best way to protect my plants? 

Protecting your plants is important as it will help them to become strong and healthy. Two of the main issues facing growers are pests and diseases. We sell a great selection of products which offer long-lasting protection and have been specifically created for disease control and pest control, so you can be confident your plants won’t be impacted.

What Temperature and Humidity Are Ideal in a Grow Room Environment?

Maintaining the ideal temperature and humidity is crucial for successful hydroponics. During the day, the grow room temperature should be between 24-26°C, while at night, it should range from 18-22°C. For humidity, aim for 50-70% during the vegetative phase and reduce it to 40-50% during the flowering phase. Proper temperature and humidity help optimise plant growth in your hydroponic system.

What pH Range Is Best for Growing Plants?

For soil-based growing, keep the pH levels between 6.0 and 7.0. In hydroponics or soilless substrates, the ideal pH range is 5.5-6.5. Regularly monitoring pH ensures that your plants can absorb nutrients efficiently, which is essential for any grow shop setup.

What Is the Perfect Environment for Drying Your Harvest?

After harvesting, the drying room environment plays a vital role in preserving quality. The temperature should stay at 21°C, and humidity should not exceed 50%. Ensure proper airflow by using a small floor fan to prevent mold and maintain optimal drying conditions for hydroponic supplies or traditional growing methods.

What Is the Ideal Environment for Seed Germination?

The best environment for seed germination includes a temperature range of 17-25°C, with the ideal being 22-25°C. Humidity should be kept at 70-90%. Using quality hydroponic supplies, like seedling trays and grow lights, can further enhance germination success.

Is Transplanting Important in Hydroponics?

Yes, transplanting is essential for plant health and growth. It is recommended to transplant 2-3 times per growth cycle, typically when the plant doubles in size. Transplanting prevents overwatering and ensures the ideal moisture level in the substrate, promoting robust root development—a key practice for any grow shop enthusiast.

Is Eye Protection Necessary in the Grow Room?

Absolutely. Grow lights emit intense light, which can damage your retina within just 15 minutes of direct exposure. Always wear specialised eye protection to shield your eyes while working in the grow room.

What are the main requirements of a hydroponic system?
