anyone can learn hydroponics

Hydroponics as a hobby

I am a middle-aged man who has recently discovered a fantastic new hobby that I would love to share with the rest of the world. My new hobby is indoor hydroponics gardening. Let's just say I always had a brown thumb, and I kind of ran into hydroponics by accident. Let's just say I have come into a position where I no longer want to grow my plants outdoors, I decided I would much rather grow my plants indoors with hydroponics. The problem is I never really had much talent as a gardener. As a kid I never took care of plants or animals, and had little experience taking care of anything living. However I put all that behind me and now I now grow my own organic medicinal herbs and have chosen to do that with hydroponics for several reasons.

Hydroponics plants grow a lot faster than soil. That means I get my fresh herbs on a regular basis a lot quicker than I would if I was growing in soil. In soil plants grow much slower and really do not taste any differently when eaten. In Hydroponics the plants will grow much faster, and I feel fantastic to know I've grown them indoors using the highest quality water and nutrients by myself. I feel much better about ingesting plants that have grown myself hydroponically versus plants that have been grown outdoors using the pesticides to keep away insects. Also outside you have to deal with uncontrollable critters that might devour your plants.

I found some really fantastic videos on YouTube on hydroponics growing and purchased a PC Grow Box eventually from Homegrown Hydroponics which is really began to enjoy the wonder and mystery of hydroponics. When I purchased a PC grow box learning hydroponics was easy with the instruction manual that was included with the garden machine. I followed all the instructions watched the videos on the Homegrown Hydroponics website and learned to grow my own herbs at the tender young age of 42.

I enjoy every day the success of looking at my garden grow. Every day as I watch my plants it fills me with a warm to create life. Looking at my plants and seeing how healthy and green they are shows me how beautiful nature can be when assisted by man with hydroponics

Hydroponics is essentially growing with ease using water and nutrients instead of soil. The hydroponic system I have is a deep water culture hydroponic system and essentially uses as an air pump to blow air through an air stone to keep the water bubbling and oxygenated. It is this in bubbling and oxygenating that really makes the plants roots grow super fast and overall results in large organic yields.

Also having a really powerful light helps in hydroponics as well. The unit I have the PC Grow Box from Homegrown Hydroponics has a very powerful compact fluorescent light that makes it easy for me to grow my plants all year long. Hydroponics has really improved my life and I wanted to share that with the users of this web site.
