CO2 Control

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) provides up to seventy-five percent of the plant's nutrition.  Therefore, controlling the CO2 in your growing area is very important.  To keep the CO2 level well-balanced, there are analysis kits available, CO2 injectors or CO2 generators, which run off natural gas or liquid propane tanks.

Temperature Control

Controlling the temperature in your hydroponics growing environment is also important.  The correct temperature for growing hydroponically is between 65 and 85 degrees F.

You can keep a check on the temperature using an indoor/outdoor thermometer.  When temperatures become too warm, this can be controlled using fans and ventilation.

Plenty of Oxygen

Plants need plenty of oxygen to grow.  This is why ventilation is important to allow outdoor oxygen to reach your plants.

Humidity Level Control

Humidity levels can become very high in your hydroponic growing area due to consistent watering and the enclosed environment.  There are monitoring devices to help you keep a check on the humidity level.  This is another area where correct ventilation and fanning helps.  Your plants can either become saturated or too dry, and neither is very healthy.

Using a combination of the right tools and ingredients will enable you to be successful with your hydroponic garden experience.  It's a simple process and requires very little maintenance once your system is set up. Hydroponics is a fun, affordable way to grow your plants or vegetables, and also a great space saver!
