Hydroponics - Indoor Horticulture represents an educational, in-depth, up-to-date, indoor horticultural growers guide that covers all principles of indoor hydroponic horticulture and gardening. This book contains 110,000 words, with over 300 diagrams, pictures, illustrations, graphs, tables, 3 dimensional CAD renderings, and is printed in full colour.

Hydroponics - Indoor Horticulture examines, explores, dissects and presents a fully comprehensive step by step growers guide, relating to all and every aspect of indoor hydroponic horticulture, with complete chapters on plant biology, propagation, hydroponic systems, nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide enrichment, pH, biological pest control, fungi/disease, cuttings/clones, pruning/training, breeding, harvesting, equipment, grow rooms, a full history of hydroponics, and more.

This book goes further than any indoor growers guide has gone before, presented in full colour with 3 dimensional CAD renderings. Hydroponics - Indoor Horticulture quite simply outclasses any other book on the subject... In terms of literal content, quantity, quality and presentation, no other indoor horticulture growers guide can compete, let alone compare.

Seedlings

I deally, plants that are to be grown in a hydroponics system must first be rooted in a sterile substrate like rockwool. This would be the puritanical hydroponicist way of doing things and the correct way, however, you can bend the rules as we in our experience have discovered. Although not recommended, seedlings can also be raised in the traditional method and transferred to a hydroponics system. If you are to pursue this method, it is a good idea to wash the majority of dirt from the rootball and to dip the remaining roots and dirt in a weak hydrogen peroxide solution. Due to the differing strengths of H2O2, it is advised to refer to the manufacturers’ instructions for the dilution ratio.

The benefits of using a sterile substrate is just that! It is sterile, therefore, you will not introduce any bacteria, disease or pests into your hydroponics system. This objective is sought after when building and maintaining a hydroponics system. The less variables to influence the system, the less chance of failure, disease or pests.

There also presents itself another favoured technique for raising seedlings and that is the use of Jiffy-7s. These are compressed peat pellets that when submerged in water expand to around 4 times their original size. These are preferred due to their ease of use; just add water and you are ready to go. However, although many do use these little wonders in hydroponics systems, they can contain disease, bacteria and even pests.

Using good reliable seeds normally results in an
