Indoor Hydroponic Systems – See The One That’s Easiest to Set Up

Among the many reasons that make hydroponic popular one that is widely accepted and most common is he no use of soil and dirt. This can be a benefit because you may live in an area where there is no good soil to grow plants outside. Or perhaps you don’t have any outside area because you live in an urban area. With a hydro grow you can still grow plants, even if you don’t have soil.

That being said about hydroponics the gardeners look for means that could support the growth of plants but also be a clean method unlike what happens when they use soil for growing. That is exactly when indoor hydroponic systems come into play.

Hydroponic gardening can be an entertaining and thrilling way to improve your gardening hobby. A closer look at some of the most popular hydroponic systems will give a hobbyist a good idea of which system may be a good one to start experimenting with. But, for newcomers in this field choosing and setting the easiest one could be the best possible solution – so here’s for you Deep Water Culture (DWC).

Deep Water Culture Hydroponic System

Deep water culture is a system in which the plant’s root mass is typically submerged in water and supplementary oxygen is made to reach the roots through the medium of an air pump. When water temperatures are kept between 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit, this system shows in particular faster growth, which makes it differ from rest of the hydroponic systems that one could possibly choose. Further, considering the speed this system has been a favorite of growers who want to grow big plants as fast as possible.

The collapse for most beginners who experiment with DWC is just fluctuating water temperatures which can at all be maintained with little effort and precision.

The Three Simple Things

  • Oxygen: Because the roots are submerged in water and not soil (which has gaps and holes for the air to reside) the water needs to be well oxygenated so the plant doesn't drown and eventually die. This is achieved by using an air pump and air stone.

  • Reservoir (Water): Think of this system as if you're growing in soil and permanently watering your plants - this is one of the reasons growing hydroponically is so beneficial - you never need to 'water' again. The water bucket acts as a reservoir and that is where all the magic naturally happen.

  • Nutrients: Selection of the nutrient mix an important role, so make sure you’re picking on the right mix after careful analysis.

Deep Water Culture, without a doubt is the easiest hydroponic system to set up and defiantly the best for beginners.
