Hortibiz Daily: How hydroponic lights work
An excerpt from the Hortibiz Daily article:
Instead of planting crops in the ground, hydroponic produce is grown with roots dangling in water. This water is recycled through the system constantly, and nutrients are added to it to ensure the health of the plants.
This agricultural technology allows growers to produce fresh, healthy hydroponic foods. They can grow crops indoors year-round, regardless of weather or climate, and with no soil needed.
It's an excellent way to bring agriculture into densely populated urban areas. Doing so shortens food miles and offers fresher foods that will last longer in stores or at consumers' homes before spoiling.
Of course, growing plants indoors and out of season presents some challenges. You'll want to include several types of hydroponic technologies to ensure the greatest possible yield. One of the most significant technologies to consider is hydroponic lighting.
