Advanced Nutrients Grow, Bloom, Micro by AccessHydroponic.com

http://www.accesshydroponic.com/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=20 Advanced Nutrients scientists conducted extensive research on plant tissue samples and found plants perform best when the ratio of application of our GMB(Grow-Mirco-Bloom) is 1:1:1. Professional and Grand Master growers may have the experience to experiment with that ratio, but our test gardens have shown great results with 1:1:1. When our GMB is used with the Bigger Yields System, nutrient absorption is higher than ever before possible with any 3-part formula.
Advanced Nutrients GMB is manufactured with the latest coatings, chelates and processes, which means much more nutrition is absorbed by plants. That's why you use a lot less of our nutrients when compared to General Hydroponics, which is 25% weaker than our 3-part.


Home made Outdoor Deep Water Culture (DWC) Hydroponics Part 2

This is the second video of my grow season. My tomato's just got flowers in the past week and I can already see some tomatos starting to form. I have 4 big boy on the corners and 2 cherry tomato in the middle. My peppers are also doing well with a lot of flowers starting. I had one strawberry plant die on me and two of them aren't looking to good. I think my net pots are too big for the shallow root system of the strawberry's i don't know but that are not growing like I thought they would. If you have any questions let me know!

Five Easy Ways to Increase the Uptake of Your Foliar Spray



Using a foliar spray to increase the number of nutrients that your plants receive is a powerful, proven way to enjoy healthier plants. Yet at the same time, many hydroponic gardeners have probably heard of instances where someone used a foliar spray but only experienced very little benefit. Most of these cases are not the fault of the ingredients in the spray itself, but rather how they are applied. If you do not carefully consider every aspect of the proper application of the foliar fertilizer, you probably will not enjoy as big a return on your investment as you were hoping. Fortunately, careful application does not have to involve a lot of time or effort. Through a few small tweaks, you can easily make the most of your foliar spray feeding. Subscribe to read the best hydroponics newsletter on the web.

Our Hydroponic Greenhouse - hydroponics system

This video is our greenhouse. My husband built it. It grows our greens hydroponically. We have collards, Swiss chard, arugula, dandelion, watercress, lettuces, and romaine.







Hydroponics Vertical Garden

DIY hydroponic garden. This is my vertical garden. Started with the idea of getting the most production out of a small space. By growing in the vertical styrofoam pots, you insulate the roots of the plant keeping them warm in winter and cool in the summer. By planting in coco coir, you have a completely nutreal media free of alkanlinity and PH; coco coir is necessary when using these vertical pots. Click to join the hydroponics revolution on the web.
