Green House Hydroponics

Green house hydroponics use temperature controlled environments with a non-soil based nutrient rich solution to provide healthy growing conditions for plants of various climate regions. Various plants are grown in nothing but water nutrient solutions and optimal temperature and light conditions.

The setup to properly use green house hydroponics is long and costly. A simple apparatus to house one plant properly could involve various heating, light and nutrient apparatuses. Temperature could be humidity in the air (internal heating), a heat lamp placed on the plant, or a burner for the water temperature. Light could be natural, controlled by the greenhouse, artificial, or have filters. Nutrients range on a large scale and these kits have no impact on the induction plant food, which must be either automated by machines or in a controlled environment.

The benefit of green house hydroponics as opposed to normal agriculture is greenhouse plants do not take nourishment from the earth. They rely initially on nutrients from their germinated seeds, their basic water necessity, and are then harvested (depending on the plant, but roughly after 10-30 days.) Thus green house hydroponics produces larger yields, with a considerably lower water use.

In a nutshell, this is a water reduced method of producing plants at a higher volume in a controlled environment.
