Creating an Optimal Growing Environment for Hydroponics

Creating an Optimal Growing Environment When creating the ideal growing environment for hydroponics, there are several elements to take into account. These include temperature, lighting conditions, nutrient content, pH balance and humidity levels. For instance, if the temperature is too high, plants will become stunted and vulnerable to root rot. Conversely, when humidity levels are too low, powdery mildew and fungal growth may take hold. Controlling Temperature and Humidity Controlling temperature and humidity is essential for hydroponic plants to create an ideal growing environment. Temperature can affect how quickly plants absorb water to absorb nutrients, while humidity affects how quickly stomata (leaf pores) close….
