Hydroponics Research
What is it and how does it work?
-Water method of growing plants in a water based, nutrient rich solution
-Does not use oil
-Supported using an inert medium such as perlite, rockwool, clay pellets,peat moss, or vermiculite
-Deepwater Culture (DWC)
-Known as reservoir method
-Easiest method for growing plants
-An aquarium air pump oxygenates the nutrient solution
-Keeps the roots of the plants from drowning
-Prevent light from penetrating the system
-Might cause algae to grow
