Accessories? Find Them Here At Our Denver Hydroponic Store.

If you’re interested in hydroponics, the science of gardening without soil, let Green Thumb Hydro Co., your trusted Denver hydroponic store, walk you through the process of hydroponic gardening. The fact is, while plants need the nutrients and water contained in soil, the soil itself is only a reservoir for these nutrients and not necessary for plant growth.

To grow a hydroponic garden, you need containers, an air supply system, and a growing medium. You also need lighting and a variety of accessories, all of which are available at Denver hydroponic stores. If that sounds like a lot, here are a few reasons why hydroponics is worth your while:

• Higher plant yield per square foot

• Protection from weather-related damage

• Lower water and nutrition costs

• Zero environmental impact

Getting Started

The first thing you need to do is figure out what to plant. Plants that grow well with the use of hydroponics include tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and a variety of herbs. Most gardeners use seeds and stem cuttings but it is also possible to transplant growing plants from soil into a hydroponic system. Some hydroponic gardens require a specific growing medium which can act as anchorage and support for the plants. Examples of commonly used substrates include coconut husk, vermiculite, and rockwool. You can purchase these materials from Denver hydroponic stores.

Plant Food

Nutrients are a must for any soil-free garden. While ordinary garden fertilizers are enough for a traditional setup, they lack some essential nutrients. Hydroponic fertilizers contain a minimum of 13 ingredients, all of which are necessary for healthy plant growth.

Controlled Environment

Your plants need the elements that nature usually provides–light, air, and the right pH. Your indoor garden requires an air supply system, a lighting system, and a means to read and adjust the pH level of the water. As much as possible, the pH level must be consistent so your plants lose none of the nutrients they need.
