    S1 E2: Myth-busters: Hydroponics verse soil, what is better? Does hydroponic food lack nutrients?

    Welcome to Episode 2 of How to Hydroponics! Today, we’re clearing up common myths and exploring the main differences between soil and hydroponics. This isn’t a competition between the two; instead, we’ll help you decide which method best suits your conditions and goals. 0:00 False misconceptions about hydroponics| Soil Verses Hydroponics 1:55 Myth- Hydroponic Plants Lack Nutrients 3:21 Myth Hydroponics only uses synthetic nutrients 4:43 Myth-Hydroponics is cost a lot in electricity to run 6:18 Myth- Hydroponics creates mold in the house 7:46 Myth- You can only grow lettuce with hydroponics First, we’re addressing a big misconception: that food grown hydroponically lacks nutrients and is just grown in water. Plants absorb nutrients in their ionic, inorganic form, meaning they need salts and minerals, not complex organic matter. In soil, nutrients are eventually broken down into these ions through decomposition. But in hydroponics, we skip that process by adding natural salts and minerals directly to the water, allowing plants to absorb nutrients immediately and grow strong, healthy roots. Another myth we’ll tackle is that hydroponics only uses synthetic nutrients. While synthetic nutrients are an option, many hydroponic gardeners use natural sources rich in salts and minerals. Hydroponics simply delivers nutrients differently, using water instead of soil. Plus, just because hydroponic nutrients are added to water doesn’t mean they’re ‘fake’ or harmful. Hydroponic plants aren’t exposed to unnatural chemicals or pesticides; it’s a natural, soil-free growing method that’s safe and sustainable. Finally, we’ll debunk ideas like hydroponics is too expensive, causes mold problems, or limits you to growing lettuce. Hydroponics can be cost-effective, easy to manage, and versatile for growing a wide variety of plants beyond lettuce. Whether you’re new to hydroponics or looking to learn more, this episode will clarify why hydroponics is an efficient, powerful option for growing your own food indoors!"

    S1 E4: Most Common Hydroponic Methods/ Systems and how to pick the right one for your lifestyle.

    Hydroponic systems for beginners—discover the most common types and how to pick the best one for your lifestyle! In this episode of How to Hydroponic, we dive into Nutrient Film Technique (N.F.T.), Deep Water Culture (DWC), Aeroponics, Ebb and Flow, and the Kratky Method to help you understand each system’s pros and cons. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance setup or something scalable, we break down each option to make your choice easy. We’ll cover popular systems, starting with Nutrient Film Technique (N.F.T.)—a versatile and scalable option that works for leafy greens, herbs, and more. Next, we dive into Deep Water Culture (DWC), ideal for larger plants with longer root systems, though it requires significant space. Aeroponics maximizes oxygen exposure, promoting rapid growth, but it has a higher setup cost and requires careful maintenance. Ebb and Flow (Flood and Drain) is versatile and supports a wide range of plants, yet it involves more parts and cleaning. Finally, Kratky Method is a low-maintenance, pump-free solution for beginners and those with busy lifestyles, perfect for leafy greens but limited for larger crops. 0:00 Introduction most common hydroponics systems pro's and con's 1:18 Nutrients Film Technique (N.F.T) , How it works |Pros and con's 3:45 Deep Water (D.W) how it works| Pro's ad con's 5:28 Aeroponics How it works| Pro's and Con's 7:15 Ebb and Flow How it works| Pro's and Con's 8:39 Kratky System How it works| Pro's and Con's 10:32 How to determine what hydroponics system will fit your unique lifestyle Choosing the right system can be overwhelming, but we make it easy.
