| Message: | Growing crippy indoors is easy and legal, If you have a medical marijuana card. In some states in the USA you can actually grow up to 12 cannabis plants or more, legally. With that being said, it can be a bit of a pain to actually start growing your own. But there is technology that can make growing cannabis indoors easy and fun. Indoor hydroponics systems can now be used to bring your herb garden indoors, and create danky, sticky marijuana and cannabis buds all year long; Ripe for the plucking and ready to smoke! Homegrown marijuna is higher quality, and much safer than pot that has been purchased commercially off the street. Those looking for medical benefits, will find growing their own marijuana to be the answer to creating your own medicine for pain releif and to treat symptoms. The name "Hydroponic" comes from Latin and means "Working Water". In reality hydroponics is the growing of plants without soil, or as The Professor likes to call it: "Dirtless Gardening". When most people think of hydroponics, they think of plants grown with their roots suspended directly into water with no growing medium. This is just one type of hydroponic gardening, known as N.F.T. (Nutrient Film Technique). There are several variations of N.F.T. used around the world and it is a very popular method of growing hydroponically. What most people don't realize is that there are literally hundreds of methods of hydroponic gardening. We explain the most common basic methods and the pro's and con's of each particular type below, along with a lot of great general information about hydroponics. How do you grow cannabis and marijuana indoors? Look for a stealth hydroponic grow box with powerful lights and odor control. Some hi-tech grow boxes are powered by state of the art LED light grow bars engineered for growing plants in hydroponics systems! What about this? http://www.growboxhydroponics.com Pretty nice huh? Indoor gardening for the 21'st centurty made easy with state of the art hydroponic grow systems. I know these are made for growing culinary herbs according to the web site, but they can be used to grow any plant! These grow boxes are great for the beginner or advanced gardener. I haven't used one, but my buddy says they work great for legal cannabis cultivation. My girlfriend wants one to grow her orchids and fresh tomatoes! But you can grow anything. Just remember to check your local and state laws before growing your own marijuana. Don't do anything illegal!! Be safe.... The term hydroponics is derived from Greek and literally means 'working water'. Many people use the term hydroponics to describe any methods of growing that does not use soil (although some scientists dispute this definition) and in that sense ancient peoples such as the Babylonians and Aztecs used hydroponics, as nutrients were obtained from other sources. The mineral nutrient solutions used today for hydroponics were not developed until the 1800s. The earliest published work on growing terrestrial plants without soil was the 1627 book, Sylva Sylvarum by Sir Francis Bacon, although Bacon died in 1626. Water culture became a popular research technique after that. In 1699, John Woodward published his water culture experiments with spearmint. He found that plants in less-pure water sources grew better than plants in distilled water. Mineral nutrient solutions for soilless culture of plants were first per fected in the 1860s by the German botanists, Julius von Sachs and Wilhelm Knop. Growth of terrestrial plants without soil in mineral nutrient solutions was called solution culture. It quickly became a standard research and teaching technique and is still widely used today. Solution culture is now considered a type of hydroponics where there is no inert medium. In 1929, Professor William Frederick Gericke of the University of California at Berkeley began publicly promoting that solution culture be used for agricultural crop production. He first termed it aquiculture but later found that aquaculture was already applied to culture of aquatic organisms. Gericke created a sensation by growing tomato and other plants to a remarkable size in his backyard in mineral nutrient solutions rather than soil. By analogy with the ancient Greek term for agriculture, geoponics, the science of cultivating the earth, Gericke introduced the term hydroponics in 1937 (although he asserts that the term was suggested by Dr. W. A. Set chell, of the University of California) for the culture of plants in water (from the Greek hydros, water, and ponos, labor). Reports of Gericke's work and his claims that hydroponics would revolutionize plant agriculture prompted a huge number of requests for further information. Gericke refused to reveal his secrets claiming he had done the work at home on his own time. This refusal eventually resulted in his leaving the University of California. In 1940, he wrote the book, Complete Guide to Soilless Gardening. Two other plant nutritionists at the University of California were asked to research Gericke's claims. Dennis R. Hoagland and Daniel I. Arnon wrote a classic 1938 agricultural bulletin, The Water Culture Method for Growing Plants Without Soil, debunking the exaggerated claims made about hydroponics. Hoagland and Arnon found that hydroponic crop yields were no better than crop yields with good quality soils. Crop yields were ultimately limited by factors other than mineral nutrients, especially light. This research, however, overlooked the fact that hydroponics has other advantages including the fact that the roots of the plant have constant access to oxygen and that the plants have access to as much or as little water as they need. This is important as one of the most common errors when growing is over- and under- watering; and hydroponics prevents this from occurring as large amounts of water can be made available to the plant and any water not used, drained away, recirculated, or actively aerated, eliminating anoxic conditions which drown root systems in soil. In soil, a grower needs to be very experienced to know exactly how much water to feed the plant. Too much and the plant will not be able to access oxygen; too little and the plant will lose the ability to transport nutrients, which are typically moved into the roots while in solution. These two researchers developed several formulas for mineral nutrient solutions, known as Hoagland solutions. Modified Hoagland solutions are still used today. One o f the early successes of hydroponics occurred on Wake Island, a rocky atoll in the Pacific Ocean used as a refueling stop for Pan American Airlines. Hydroponics was used there in the 1930s to grow vegetables for the passengers. Hydroponics was a necessity on Wake Island because there was no soil, and it was prohibitively expensive to airlift in fresh vegetables. In the 1960s, Allen Cooper of England developed the Nutrient Film Technique. The Land Pavilion at Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center opened in 1982 and prominently features a variety of hydroponic techniques. In recent decades, NASA has done extensive hydroponic research for their Controlled Ecological Life Support System or CELSS. | ||||
