We have researched all of the top hyrdroponic systems on the market, down to their inner workings and have created a hybrid system using the best of each syestem and discarding the major flaws that come with them. Hydroponics is the science of growing plants in water instead of soil. The deep water method , also know as the reservior method, is one of the easiest of all the true hydroponic growing systems. Several plant containers sit down in the nutrient solution. An aquarium air pump constantly bubbles in the nutrient solution, keeping the plants roots from drowning. In natural conditions, soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir, but the soil its self is not essential to plant growth. When the mineral nutrients in the soil disslove in water, plant roots are able to absorb them. When the required mineral nutrients are introduced into a plants water supply artificially, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive. Almost any terrestrial plant will grow with hydroponics.
