One Stop Grow Shop's Ultimate Grower's Guide

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants in a mineral-rich, water-based nutrient solution - no soil required. It's a method that produces stable, fast-growing, healthy plants that are easy to harvest and produce remarkable yields. This method of growing allows a grower to optimise plant growth on a continual basis - every minute of every day! This ensures that plants are always growing, or producing flowers, fruits or vegetables at a maximal rate.

Hydroponics is a method of growing that may have its roots as early in history as the hanging gardens of Babylon. Water pumped around the gardens fed and watered the arrangement of plants. Today, feeding plants via a nutrient solution is used as a means of getting the most agricultural or horticultural produce out of a given space, in a minimum amount of time, and with limited resources. With an ever-increasing global population, one day it may be that these techniques that will be the key to feeding a planet which has become chock full of humans. Already, many market gardeners and restaurateurs grow their own herbs and vegetables using hydroponics in order to ensure freshness and ultimate quality for their customers, in the quantities that they need.
