Are you learning to grow hydroponics? If true then the following article hopefully it can help add insight into business hydroponic plant. As we all know, the hydroponic cultivation we no longer use the soil as a growing medium, but to maximize the use of liquid nutrients needed by plants and appropriately dosing.
There are several advantages for growing hydroponic system implementation is as follows:
Advantages hydroponic cultivation system
1. Troubleshooting unavailability of soil as a growing medium.
2. Reducing plant diseases that commonly occur in the soil media.
3. Allows the availability and sustainable cultivation.
4. Get more results with the same area of the planting area.
5. Quality of better yields.
6. Use of water and less fertilizer because the measured and planned.
That's some of the advantages of hydroponic cultivation. There are definitely advantages there are also disadvantages. Included in this hydroponics, some shortcomings are as follows:
Disadvantages hydroponic cultivation system
1. The initial cost is quite large, such as for the preparation of tools, including nutritional media.
2. Requires extra attention to maintain.
3. Requires knowledge and sufficient knowledge about plants and their needs.
4. When the infected plants will easily spread disease.
That's all I guess its shortcomings, if I add more later even make you think back again to start hydroponics.
Next we will discuss the techniques of hydroponics.
In general, hydroponic cultivation is divided into two types according to the flow of nutrients that used the system of circulating and non-circulating systems.
1. Circulating system
In the circulatory system or swivel system, water is used to meet the nutritional needs of plants will fall again flow through the roots into a container. Next the nutrition water in the reservoirs will be applied again to the plant with the help of a pump or the like to stream it.
Deficiencies in this circulation system are causing changes in water pH which is certainly not good for the plants so that the required checks on a regular basis.
2. The non-circulation system
In the non-circulation systems or disposable system, the nutrition water used to meet the needs of the plants if there are excess nutrients are not recycled but immediately discarded. Seem wasteful, but actually when we set the exact time for administration of the nutrient solution, the water will be absorbed by plant nutrients to the maximum, resulting in wasted water become slightly.
Well, those two types of hydroponic farming techniques that you should know first. Furthermore, we will be more detailed distinguish hydroponic cultivation techniques in the hope that later you can choose which techniques are easy and effective to be applied.
There are 6 techniques known in hydroponic farming system, namely:
1. Water culture system
2. Drip system
3. Aeroponic system
4. Wick system
5. Ebb and flow system
6. NFT system
We discussed one by one below:
1. Hydroponic water culture system
When translated freely in the Indonesian language means water culture system is a method of hydroponic plant floating raft system. This technique is fairly simple hydroponics. The concept of this system is to allow plant roots floating in the water of nutrients so plants can intake of nutrients for 24 hours a day nonstop.
The materials needed to make the floating raft system:
- Bathtub or water reservoirs nutrients.
- Growing media / rockwool.
- Net pot.
- Styrofoam.
- Seeds of plants.
- Hydroponic nutrient solution.
2. Hydroponic drip system
Drip System or drip system is one of the techniques commonly used hydroponic plant as it works pretty simple. The system uses a timer to regulate the water dripping nutrients to the plant.
Here's a simple chart of a method of hydroponic drip system:
3. Hydroponic aeroponic system
Aeroponic system or Aeroponics system uses air as a planting medium. The concept is to let the plant roots hang, and then the hanging roots of the sprayed water / liquid nutrients needed by plants using sprinkler irrigation.
The materials needed to make the aeroponics system:
- Seed plant.
- Styrofoam.
- Growing media / Rockwool.
- Sprinkler.
- Water pump.
- The pipe and Ethylene.
- Hydroponic nutrient solution.
4. Hydroponics wick system
How hydroponics wick system / system axis compared to different types of hydroponic systems, including the simplest method. The most commonly used mainly by hobbyists who planted a simple hydroponics at home.
The concept of how hydroponics wick system is the provision of plant nutrients in the growth medium through the wick is used as a reservoir. So the plant roots are not immersed directly in the water, but they are growing in the water-retaining materials such as rockwool or coconut fiber.

The concept of how hydroponics wick system is the provision of plant nutrients in the growth medium through the wick is used as a reservoir. So the plant roots are not immersed directly in the water, but they are growing in the water-retaining materials such as rockwool or coconut fiber.
The system can use a variety of growing media, such as gravel sand, fiber / powder coconut rind, husk fuel and rockwool to hold / store water. As for the axis, can use the stove wicks, cotton or rags.
How hydroponics wick system called the most simple and not complicated because it does not require electricity / energy source to provide hydroponics nutrients in plants.
Nutrient solution to the roots of plants utilizes only capillary properties of water. End of the fuse is placed in a reservoir containing a nutrient solution, while the other end is placed in growing media to the plant roots. In addition to wetting the roots, planting media traversed by the axes come to be moist by a nutrient solution.
In addition to the simple and simple, the other advantages in the use of plant root system is the axis can breathe the air suck in conjunction with the nutrient solution. As we all know, in addition to nutrition, sufficient air intake is also essential in the growth of plants.
Excess / next convenience of hydroponics system axis, when the nutrient solution in the reservoir / reservoir depleted, can be refilled easily without using a pump as is done in other hydroponic systems.
The following chart / Wick system scheme along with some examples of plants that are grown using a wick system:
Similarly, information about hydroponic cultivation simple way I can share. If the above information is no less appropriate or maybe you have information that is more accurate and detailed beg to be shared through the comments below this post.
Thank you for visiting and pleasing reading. Hopefully there are benefits to be gained, particularly in the case of hydroponic cultivation.
