Hydroponics Stores Near Me
Types Of Systems
Hydroponic systems are classified by the type of solution used and the method of delivering the nutrient solution to the plants. These systems range from simple to complex and can be customized for specific needs.
The two main types of hydroponic systems are active and passive. Active systems require a pump or some other form of power source to keep the nutrient solution moving. Examples include deep water culture, ebb-and-flow, aeroponics and drip irrigation. Passive systems use gravity to circulate the nutrient solution with no additional power source required. Examples include wick, Kratky, bubbleponics and NFT (Nutrient Film Technique).
Each system has its pros and cons, so it's important to do your research in order to decide which is best for you. Understanding what each system is capable of will allow you to make an informed decision on which type of system will work best for your particular situation.
