Hydroponics Systems

The word "hydroponics" is derived from the Greek words"hydro" (meaning
"water") and "ponics" (meaning "labor" or "works"). You are gardening
without soil when you garden with hydroponics. When you grow plants and
crops using a hydroponics system, on average, your plants will grow 30
to 50% faster than they do in regular soil. Their yield is also
greater, since your plants do not have to search around in soil for the
water and nutrients they need. Instead, the water and nutrients are
delivered right to the roots with the hydroponics system.

There are many different types of hydroponics systems out there for you
to take advantage of for your own gardening. Each of the different
types of systems offer their own advantages. So whether you decide to
build your own hydroponics system or purchase a kit or one already
built, it is best to be familiar with what is out there before you get
going. There are six basic types of hydroponics systems, though you
should bear in mind that each one of those six basic kinds has tons of
different variations. The six basic types of hydroponics systems are
Wick, Drip, Nutrient Film Technique (N.F.T.), Water Culture, Ebb and
Flow, and Aeroponic.

Let's take a closer look at each:

Wick System: The Wick system is the simplest of all of the basic
hydroponic systems. It is considered a passive system because there are
no moving parts. The nutrient solution is pulled into the growing
medium from the reservoir via means of a wick. The thing to think about
with a Wick System is that if you are using large plants or plants that
use up a lot of water, they may use up the nutrients faster than the
wick can supply it. Coconut fiber is a good growth medium to use with a
Wick system.

Drip: In a Drip system, a timer controls a submersible pump that drips
the nutrient solution onto the the roots of each of the plants with a
drip line. A recovery system allows the excess nutrient solution to be
reused.

Nutrient Film Technique (N.F.T.): In this system, a constant flow of
the nutrient solution is provided by the submersible pump, and it flows
over the roots of the plants and then back into the reservoir and
cycles through again. When using N.F.T., no growth medium other than
air is usually used.

Water Culture: A platform, usually made of Styrofoam, floats directly
on top of the nutrient solution in a Water Culture system. Inside,
there is an air stone that has air provided to it via an air pump. The
air pump bubbles air through the stone to provide oxygen to the roots
of the plant. This is good for growing lettuce, but doesn't do well
with larger plants or plants that take a longer time period to grow.

Ebb and Flow System: A submerged pump floods the growing tray with the
nutrient solution and then drains it back into a reservoir repeatedly,
usually via means of a timer, in the Ebb and Flow System. It works well
with a variety of different growth mediums, like gravel, Grow Rocks, or
Rockwool. You can use individual pots for each of the plants, which
makes it easy to move them around, when you are using this type of
system. One drawback here is that it is vulnerable to power failure,
which means if the power goes out and the timer and pump stop, your
plants could suffer.

Aeroponic: In an Aeroponic system, the roots of your plants hang in
mid-air and are misted with your nutrient solution every few minutes.
To avoid the roots getting dry, a timer is used to control the
mistings.

If you are looking to get started today, I very strongly recommend
downloading my ebook to guide you through all of the steps necessary to
get started with hydroponics.

In the ebook you will learn everything you need to get a hyrdroponic
garden up and producing. The book also goes into depth about topics
such as Hydroponic Technologies and Hydroponics and Lighting

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
