What your plant needs

Nutrients for hydroponic farming

You know that growing plants hydroponically is impossible without the proper nutrients. Once you get the hang of it, you may want to expand. How can you make nutrient management the linchpin of your system? For example, you can consider an automated plant growing system. These smart controls can transform your small plant growing into a high-yield system.

More importantly, you can monitor the entire process from one screen. So you don’t have to be there all the time to see how your hydroponic system is thriving. But first, let’s talk about the importance of hydroponic nutrient solutions. Hydroponic nutrients refer to the plant nutrients that are appropriate for hydroponics. With this system, you have complete control over your plants’ nutrients.

Most plants depend on a few general nutrients. These include CO2, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are naturally present. There are a total of 17 essential nutrients for plant growth. These nutrients come from water, soil, and air. Based on specific properties, these nutrients are divided into macronutrients and micronutrients.

The next point is the form of nutrients. There are usually three types of nutrients: Granular, Liquid, and Powder. If your hydroponics is purely water-based, you should use powder or liquid nutrients. They excrete the water and reach the plant roots quickly. Those are the three factors you can use to choose the proper nutrient for your hydroponic plant. However, keep in mind that some plants are different from the general public and need extra special care.
