Water is the trusty vehicle that provides the transport of nutrients and energy (salts and sugars) to the cells within a plant. Hydroponics is simply the process of distributing water, preserving its quality, and providing it with the nutrients that allows plants to reach their full genetic potential. The series of automatic events that happen in an ideal natural setting results in the breakdown of organic nutrient salts that eventually end up in soil. Plants are then able to absorb these nutrient rich salts as a result of water in the soil from rainfall. The reality is that the soil and environments plants generally grow in are far from perfect. So the goal with hydroponics is to try to replicate what occurs in a perfectly natural setting. This is achieved by consistently enriching water with nutrients, and then making these available for absorption by our plants. We refer to this water that we provide as balanced ‘nutrient solution’.
