Instructor

As the common practice of growing plants is the use of soil, many people don’t know it’s also possible to grow plants without soil. Yes, it is! This method is called “Hydroponics,” which involves growing plants in a nutrient-rich water solution rather than in soil.

This method of growing plants is becoming increasingly popular as it allows plants to grow year-round in controlled environments, making it perfect for urban gardening and indoor growing. There are other methods of growing plants without soil. But, in this course, we’ll focus more on hydroponics.

We’ll explore the basics of hydroponics and how it differs from traditional soil-based gardening. We will delve into the different types of hydroponic systems, their benefits, and their application. We’ll cover the importance of pH and nutrient management in hydroponics and how to mix and maintain nutrient solutions properly.

We’ll also talk about lighting and climate control, water & growing media types, and their suitability for hydroponics. We’ll explore the benefits and challenges of hydroponics, including root care and disease management. We will discuss the different types of plants that can be grown in hydroponics, including herbs, vegetables, and even fruits.

By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills to set up and maintain your own hydroponic system and be able to grow a variety of plants successfully. The course will be interactive, with takeaways and hands-on activities to help you fully understand the concepts.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, this course is perfect for anyone interested in learning more about hydroponics and how to grow plants in a controlled environment successfully.
