Hydroponic and Aeroponic Systems for Marijuana Cultivation

In this section, you will find everything related to the most innovative and advanced techniques for marijuana cultivation, hydroponic cultivation, and aeroponic cultivation. With these new cultivation systems, plants can grow without soil. However, it may have some substrate that acts as a root retainer.

Many people prefer to use hydroponic and aeroponic cultivation systems, using mineral solutions instead of agricultural soil. A plus point is its easy maintenance and the little time needed to invest in the care of your marijuana crop.

What are hydroponic cultivation systems?

Hydroponic cultivation systems are very simple systems for growing marijuana plants differently, using mineral solutions. A hydroponic crop is a water-based cultivation medium, but without having to worry or be attentive to the watering of your marijuana crop, since being a water-based cultivation medium, your marijuana plants will always have water and the necessary nutrients available. With a hydroponic crop, you will achieve a much more automated cultivation without having to be so attentive to your plants.

In hydroponic crops, you will achieve that your plants grow much faster and are much more productive, thanks to the availability of water and nutrients that we provide to our marijuana crop at all times.

The grower who has a hydroponic crop will surely have to dedicate much less care and attention than any other soil crop.

To have a perfect hydroponic cultivation system, we will need an inert system to hold the roots and plants, such as washed sand, gravel, or perlite. In addition, we will also need a water recirculation system, which goes from a water tank to the same pot where your marijuana plants are located, through pipes or hoses.

Important elements of the hydroponic cultivation system

In a hydroponic crop, water is one of the most important elements, so it is very important that we have good control and maintenance of the water, the correct PH, and EC (electro-conductivity) for your marijuana crop. The water in the tank must be changed every week. Although one way to keep the water longer is by putting a filter on the water pump, to remove the organic matter that may be in the water, preventing anything from decomposing.

The normal PH and EC values for a hydroponic marijuana crop are:

- PH:Growth: 5.5Flowering: 6.5

- EC:Growth: 0.8-1Flowering: 1.2-2

Another important element to consider is the temperature that the water in our hydroponic crop should have. Since the temperature of the water will depend on the oxygen in the water of our hydroponic crop. That is, the higher the water temperature, the less oxygen there will be in the water, and vice versa, the colder the water temperature, the less oxygen there will be in the water of our hydroponic crop. The optimal temperature during the first days, for our marijuana plants to root correctly, should be 25 C. For the plant to feed, assimilate, and absorb nutrients correctly, the temperature of the hydroponic crop should be 20 C. But never, the water temperature should be below 16 C, or our crop is in danger of root blockage.

In addition, another important element in a hydroponic crop is the water pump, which is responsible for circulating the water throughout the circuit. To ensure that the water in your hydroponic crop continues to circulate and therefore your plants do not run out of it, it is important to maintain the water pump well so that it does not break. We advise always having a spare water pump, in case the one you have fails or breaks and you cannot buy one at that moment. This way, your marijuana plants can stay alive. On our website, you will also find a wide variety of water pumps at the best price.

Problems in hydroponic cultivation systems

One of the problems we can find in our marijuana plants in hydroponic crops is that the plants bend under their own weight, and in this way, our plants are in great danger. On our website, you will find everything you need to keep your plants supported if you have this problem. We provide you with tutors and nets to keep your valuable plants well supported.

On our website, you will find materials such as autopot systems of different sizes, water tanks, valves, taps, unions, water pumps, filters, etc.

Aeroponic cultivation systems for your cannabis crop

On the other hand, aeroponic cultivation systems, also well known and used by NASA. They are also very simple systems to cultivate. An aeroponic crop is a cultivation based on air or mist. The roots of the plants in an aeroponic cultivation system grow very quickly due to the great aeration of the root microenvironment. That is why roots in this type of crop do not usually develop algae, as the roots are suspended and aerated, in a closed and safe system.

On our website, you will find everything you need for your aeroponic crop, such as AeroFlo cultivation systems.

Below, we show you all the material you may need to achieve a perfect HYDROPONIC AND AEROPONIC crop, as well as the characteristics of each of them.
