Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water-based solution. Essentially, plants are grown with their roots submerged in a nutrient-rich solution, or supported by an inert medium like perlite, expanded clay, or coco coir. This technique allows for efficient water and nutrient delivery directly to the plant’s roots, leading to faster growth and higher yields. WHAT DOES THIS COURSE COVER?
