Hydroponics is the art of gardening without soil. Hydroponics is a Latin word meaning “working water.” In the absence of soil, water goes to work providing nutrients, hydration, and oxygen to plant life.

When a plant is grown in soil, its roots are perpetually searching for the necessary nutrition to support the plant. If a plant’s root system is exposed directly to water and nutrition, the plant does not have to exert any energy in sustaining itself. The energy the roots would have expended acquiring food and water can be redirected into the plant’s maturation. As a result, leaf growth flourishes as does the blooming of fruits and flowers.   

pH stands for potential hydrogen. It is measured on a scale of 0-14 and indicates how acidic or alkaline the water source is. Pure water typically has a neutral ph of 7. The solution is acidic if the pH is below 7 and alkaline if the ph is above 7.

5.8-6.0

EC stands for Electrical Conductivity. It is used to measure the strength of the nutrient solution.

Maintian between 20*C - 28*C . During Summer it is a challenge but you can workout by placing a perforated tray just above the discharge collecting bucket with a gap for air passing through the dripping water.
