We carry out the winterization process to stop our equipment, pipes, fountains and sprinklers etc from breaking over the winter period due to trapped water freezing and causing cracks. This often involves complete draining of anything that uses water and sealing them up to prevent any outside water from entering. However, with a greenhouse, a hydroponic greenhouse in particular then you will likely want to continue using and indeed growing your vegetables throughout the winter period. After all, this is just one of the advantages of growing hydroponic vegetables, that we can continue harvesting an abundant crop even when the soil outside has frozen over. To do this, we will [...]

CO2 Essentials For Hydroponics
Have you ever heard it said that singing to your plants helps them grow? Well if this statement is true, it can only be because singing near your plants releases CO2 from your mouth, which of course we all know plants need in order to thrive! In fact by spending a lot of time in your hydroponic tent or greenhouse will ensure that your plants will be exposed to lots of CO2 rich air. Being in hydroponics myself, controlling everything that all plants need to thrive, i know that giving my plants extra CO2 is one of the best things i can ever do for them! We all know that [...]
Controlling Hydroponic Temperature And Humidity
Along with lighting and nutrition, one of the other factors that we’re able to control and manipulate to get the best results from our hydroponic plants is temperature and humidity. This article is going to discuss just how you can monitor and change the temperature and humidity levels of both your air and nutrient solution in your hydroponic garden or hydroponic grow tent. Monitoring Hydroponic Temperature And Humidity Temperatures fall at night and rise during the day. This is why constant monitoring is needed. You should monitor your air temperature on a regular basis. Ideally you should keep the air temperature during the daytime at 70 – 80 degrees fahrenheit [...]
Hydroponic Grow Room Ventilation
Whether you use a hydroponic grow tent or a greenhouse to house your hydroponic system, you’ll need good hydroponic grow room ventilation for everything to work and grow to its maximum potential. Why Do You Need Good Hydroponic Grow Room Ventilation? Well lets assume you’re using a 4ft x 4ft hydroponic grow tent and you have hydroponic tomatoes planted in there. The tomato plant leaves are going to eat up all CO2 in the tent at a fast rate. This is good, it shows your tomatoes are healthy and are thriving. Everybody knows that all plants need CO2 to survive. In a grow tent the CO2 will become rapidly depleted [...]
Achieving Maximum Hydroponic Growing Conditions
Being able to easily give all hydroponic fruits and vegetables their ideal growing conditions is what hydroponics is all about. Some countries can not grow certain things due to the climate not being right, or the humidity is all wrong or the ground is too bad. In hydroponics we control all growing conditions which is why we’re able to grow things that we wouldn’t ordinarily be able to grow. This is also why we’re able to grow things all year round and produce far better results than normal farmers can. Because we control all growing conditions, we can produce better quality and more quantity of anything we desire providing we [...]
