Hydroponic plants gather their nutrients from nutrient-enriched water as opposed to gathering their nutrients from soil. Soil itself is not essential to plant growth.

What is the chemical formula that can explain hydroponic plants?

The chemical formula that explains hydroponic plants is essentially the same as plants grown in soil, as they still require the same essential nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), among others. In hydroponics, these nutrients are provided in the form of water-soluble compounds that are easily absorbed by the plants through their roots. So, there isn't a specific chemical formula unique to hydroponic plants, but rather the focus is on providing the necessary nutrients in a water-based solution.


How does the hydroponics system function?

Hydroponics is a branch of agriculture where plants are grown without soil. A hydroponic system will grow plants in water that has been supplemented with nutrients usually found in soil.


What are two alternative methods of providing nutrients?

Two alternative methods of providing nutrients are through hydroponic farming, where plants are grown in a nutrient-rich water solution instead of soil, and through foliar feeding, where nutrients are sprayed directly onto the leaves of plants for absorption.


Do plants need soil to grow live and reproduce?

no, plants are grown well in hydroponic and aeroponic systems


How do you grow a hydroponic plant?

They are grown suspended in water, the water has the correct nutrients added to enable the plant to thrive.


Which are the most common hydroponic nutrients used for growing?

In hydroponics, plants do not grow in soil. Instead, the plants are grown in a water-based medium or other growing mediums like coir, rockwool, etc. All plants need the same conditions to grow i.e. sufficient amount of light, water, and materials to make their own food. For plants growing in soil, food is obtained by uptake in nutrients from the soil. Since soil is absent in hydroponics, food needs to be provided to the plant using a different route. This is where hydroponic nutrients come in.


What kind of product is hydro weed?

Hydro weed or Cannabis Hydroponic is cannabis grown without the use of soil. Instead of the plants growing up from the ground they are grown suspended and given only the exact nutrients needed for the plant to thrive. Conditions that are impossible to replicate in nature.


Is Barley in water?

No. Rice is grown in water, not barley. Barley plants will easily drown if grown in water, though with hydroponic agriculture, that could be a different story.


Can you grow root vegetables in hydroponics systems?

Yes, root vegetables can be grown in hydroponic systems by providing the necessary nutrients and support for their growth.


Do plants grown hydroponically or in soil?

Plants can be grown both hydroponically and in soil. In hydroponic systems, plants grow in a nutrient-rich water solution without soil. In traditional soil-based gardening, plants grow in natural soil with nutrients available for uptake. Both methods have their advantages and can support healthy plant growth.


What is the difference between hydroponic marijuana and chronic?

Hydroponics refers to a method of growing plants without soil and using a mineral nutrient solution. The marijuana plants are grown in a soil less medium such as coco coir under lights. Hydroponic marijuana is usually of high quality but occasionally it is bad because of mistakes in growing, plants grown from bad genetics or other problems. Hydroponic marijuana is also often grown locally. Chronic is a term for high quality weed, which may or may not be hydroponic. There are usually red hairs on the weed. There is also a strain of marijuana called Chronic which was developed by a company called Serious Seeds.


Can a marijuana plant grow as a hydroculture plant?

Yes, its is virtually the same as hydroponic cultivation of the plant but a lot more laid back. Both Hydroponic and Hydrocultured plants are grown is a soil free medium. The difference is that hydroponics allows for optimal maturation of a plant and perfect cloning (propagation via cuttings) by controlling and regulating the nutrients/fertilizer, sunlight, and water exposure. Hydroponics is basically a pretty fish tank with bubbles and a filter whereas hydroculture is a fish bowl.
