General Hydroponics

General Hydroponics was established in 1970 by a group of innovative scientists, engineers and technicians in order to proceed with the revolutionary concept of Hydroponics. Today, General Hydroponics is a leading name in the hydroponics area. They have factories throughout North America and Europe. Hydroponic cultivation by NASA on the ISS have been conducted with assistance from General Hydroponics.

Hydroponics is an innovative technique for soil-less cultivation of plants in nutrient rich solutions. Hydroponics has some typical advantages over the conventional methods, as the plants are healthier and grow mature early. They require less space, and even if the gardener is out for a long time that the plants do not suffer. Hydroponics uses less space and water.

General Hydroponics products used for hi-tech gardening, commercial production of crops and agricultural experiments in laboratories and universities worldwide. Researchers and nutritionists at General Hydroponics is developing new hydroponic systems and improve nutrient formulas. These techniques and nutrient formulas to increase the yield, flavor and vitamin and mineral content in food crops. Farm Division at General Hydroponics testing many varieties of plants for growth, yield, taste, nutrition, appearance, durability and hydroponic viability. Different techniques for growing top-quality crops with higher nutritional value is in experimental stages.

Three basic hydroponics techniques used by General Hydroponics. In the first, called nutrient film technique, roots, plants are suspended in nutrient mixture containing trough. The second is called Aeroponics include the suspension of plants in mist and nutrients delivered through an air pump. The third technique is the overall system. The roots of the plants are located between inert materials such as clay pebbles or foam chips dipped in nutrient solution.

Since hydroponics does not grown in soil, they are dependent on nutrient solution mixed in water for their growth. Standard fertilizer is simply inadequate for them. Thus, especially compound, such as General Hydroponics Nutrients are used to them. These are hydroponic fertilizer mixtures used in the pH buffer of pH 5 to 6 The nutrient mixture is replaced every two weeks, and during this time only more water is added to the site. This is so because if the concentration of nutrient solution rises above a certain level, this can burn plant roots. General Hydroponics Nutrients are reliable, flexible and pH-buffered hydroponic nutrients. NASA uses their Flora-Series for space experiments.
