Chapter three. The Science of hydroponics. Hydroponics works because of the way that plants themselves work, You must be prepared to understand what it is that you're truly doing when it comes down to having a hydroponic garden. When you grow your own hydroponic setup, you know that you are creating a situation in which you are better able to control everything that your plants need, Nothing is left to nature. When you grow in a hydroponic setting, you are able to control it all artificially. You control the light that your plants get. You control the nutrients that they require, you control the way in which they grow in the way in which they thrive. You are able to recognize that ultimately, the way that you do grow your plants is crucially important. The photosynthesis cycle. The plants that you grow, work on the photosynthesis process. This process allows the plant to essentially create their own chemical energy. People and other animals require sustenance. We must consume something else to break it down to get energy. However, plants use a process known as photosynthesis to take the light energy that they get from the sun and convert it into a chemical form. That will allow them to develop the sugars that they require to grow. This process is most commonly described with the following equation six C. 02 plus six H 20 equals C six H 12 06 plus 602 This process allows for the plant to take light energy along with six molecules of carbon dioxide CO two and six water molecules H 20 To create one sugar molecules C six H 12 06 in six oxygen molecules 02 This allows for the development of the sugar that is going to be used for the plant to thrive. This will essentially allow for your plants to sustain themselves so long as they have that ready access to water, carbon dioxide and like of course that sugar is not going to help them if they do not also have the other nutrients that are required to help grow all of the various parts of their bodies. If they do not get those extra minerals as well, they will not be able to develop the needs of plants with hydroponics in mind. Your plants require access to several different components. If they want to be able to grow properly, you will need to be able to provide these three components if you want your plants to be able to develop and without them, your plants will struggle at a bare minimum. Your plants will require you to provide them with water, air and nutrients that will help them grow and thrive. The water is easy. You can get that in many different places and it's nothing that comes as any sort of surprise to anyone involved. The water allows for the photosynthesis process to be completed and also allows for the plant to develop properly. The air is also easy. It is incredibly difficult to actually properly do private plant of access to the air the plants will take in the air around them through their leaves, breathing in the carbon dioxide that is produced by other living things and then using that carbon dioxide to produce the sugars that it needs during photosynthesis. The plants them breathe out oxygen as their waste, the form of oxygen that we as people required to breathe. However, there is one more important element here as well that you must be able to consider. You must not forget to include the fact that the plants that you will be growing will require nutrients they cannot create themselves and their selves out of nothing and that is where the nutrients that they require come into play. The nutrients allow them to develop themselves. This is traditionally drawn in through the soil and into the plants by the use of the roots. However, it does not have to come from the soil directly so long as the plants have access to nutrients. Somehow they're able to thrive. This means that you must be able to give that access in one form or another. Some people will aerosol nutrient solution into the air in a form known as a rope onyx. Some people will grow their plants in nutrient rich soil. Others still make use of that nutrient solutions that we will be discussing in depth within this book. It does not matter how the nutrient solution is developed so long as it is hydroponics and growing your plants when it comes to hydroponics. Then scientifically there is no reason that you have to provide soil in any form while it has been used as a fertilizer for the water mixing soil into the water to see how well the plants would grow in that condition. It is not a requirement. You can grow your plants in all sorts of ways that will better help them. You can allow for your plans to develop in many ways, meaning that you will be able to better process them for any situation. Hydroponics is just one way that you can grow plants, but scientifically it is highly effective. It is very good at ensuring that the plants that you're growing are able to develop properly and thoroughly. You will be able to grow your garden in all sorts of different manners. All that truly matters is that you are able to find the right method that works for you. If you can do that, you know that you will grow a successful fruitful, sometimes even literally garden
