What type of product is best for beginners to grow with hydroponics? 420 Guide

Hydroponics is a form of gardening that uses no soil, but instead grows plants in a solution of nutrients mixed with water. There are many advantages to hydroponic gardening:
Plants grow faster. Experts suggest that plants grow at least 20 percent faster in hydroponic systems than they do in soil.
Yields are 20 to 25 percent bigger with hydroponic systems, compared to growing in soil.
No soil is required, which can be a distinct advantage in areas where existing garden soil is poor, or for apartment dwellers where growing in soil is inconvenient.
Why Use Hydroponic Systems for Growing Plants?
Produce 30% more yield than traditional gardening
Provides 25% faster plant growth
Uses 20% fewer resources
Is easy to use and clean
Can be used anywhere
Allows plants to grow all year
Involves no pesticides or fungicides
Is a better use of space and resources

The EASIEST Type of Hydroponics System To Setup

Without a doubt, most hydroponics experts would agree that a Deep Water Culture (DWC) hydroponics system is the easiest type of hydro system to use for indoor growing because it requires the LEAST amount of materials, supplies, and know-how to get started:
The Deep Water Culture (DWC) hydro system is the easiest for beginners to use.In a DWC system, you simply fill up a reservoir with your nutrient solution. You then suspend your plant’s roots in that solution so they receive the steady, continuous supply of water, oxygen, and nutrients.
Using the DWC system, you’ll find it’s extremely simple to setup (once you understand how it all works) and extremely low-maintenance (again, once you understand how it works) making it perfect for hydroponics beginners.

Useful Tips

  • We highly recommend changing the nutrient solution in your reservoir every two to three weeks.
  • Keep the water temperature in your reservoir between 65 and 75 degrees. You can maintain the water temperature by using a water heater or a water chiller.
  • An air pump with an air stone connected by flexible tubing can help increase circulation and keep your nutrient solution oxygenated.
  • If your plant doesn’t look healthy, either discolored or distorted, then the first thing you should check and adjust is the pH. If you determine that the pH is not the problem then flush your system with a solution like Clearex.

2020 Best Quantum Board Reviews: Mars Hydro TS2000 vs Spider Farmer SF1000

Image
LED Quantum boards  are all the rage. It started with HLG, but now several budget brands have started offering quantum boards with Samsung chips and Meanwell drivers. Spider Farmer LED Grow Lights Energy Efficient These grow lights are more energy efficient than traditional LED grow lights. That’s partially due to the fact they don’t use cooling fans. Another reason is the LEDs they used in these designs are newer versions of diodes compared to grow lights that were designed years earlier but are still for sale today. Spider Farmer’s 2.7 micromoles per Joule is at the very high end of efficiency compared to most other grow lights that typically fall between 1.5 and 2.4 uMol/Joule. Features Uses 100 watts —  save about 50% on your electric bill over HID lights Equivalent to a 200 watt HID system —  but costs less to buy AND to operate Ideal spectrum for plants —  3000K and 5000K white light, plus 660 nm red and 760 nm IR; the perfect light for all stages of growth

How much rosin can you get from an ounce? 2020 Updated

Image
If you’re considering reaping the returns of a rosin press, the math isn’t too hard. But how much money can you make pressing rosin? It depends on a few factors. If you’re a commercial grower though, the answer is a good one: “more money than you’re making right now.” Even sweeter, getting started can cost as little as a few pounds of flower. Rosin is a cannabis oil extract that utilises pressure and heat, instead of a solvent, in its creation. The result is a completely pure, easy to make, and fast to produce cannabis concentrate. The beauty of rosin is that anyone can safely make it irrespective of experience. All you need is some bud, a flat hair iron (hair straighteners), and some parchment paper. So if you like concentrates, there is no reason to not give it a go! How Much Rosin Will I Get? Let’s use the metric system to get a more precise answer. An ounce of cannabis weighs around 28g so you could expect to get between: “2.8g – 5.6g of rosin per ounce of cannabis” It’s

Looking for the best quantum board? The quantum board LED is the latest advancement in LED grow light technology. In fact, as these new lights hit the market, we are seeing some fantastic quantum board led review feedback from users that suggests this might be the next level of LED available. Let’s take a look at what makes a quantum board special and why it might be the next big thing for your horticultural indoor farming. What is a Quantum Board LED? A quantum board LED is a newer alternative to the more expensive COB grow lights . The quantum board is a large circuit board in which a string of LEDs are connected forming “intelligent spectrum string” resulting in a broader spectrum and bigger plants. True full spectrum is the result. The Benefits of Quantum Board Led Grow Lights Chip on a board LEDs reduce the loss of power through circuit boards sending power to each LED in a grow light array. Quantum boards are even more energy efficient. This dramatically reduces their power consu
