Grow fruits and vegetable
Learn to grow locally
When you look at fruits and vegetables and think about how it is grown, do you picture acres of open fields, rows of tilled soil, and seedlings lining the tops of the mounds? While much of the world’s produce is grown this way, there are other ways to grow produce without large amounts of land — and even without soil!
Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants without using soil. Flowers, fruits, and vegetables are planted in inert growing media and supplied with nutrient-rich solutions, oxygen, and water. This system fosters rapid growth, stronger yields, and superior quality. When a plant is grown in soil, its roots are perpetually searching for the necessary nutrition to support the plant. If a plant’s root system is exposed directly to water and nutrition, the plant does not have to exert any energy in sustaining itself. The energy the roots would have expended acquiring food and water can be redirected into the plant’s maturation. As a result, leaf growth flourishes as does the blooming of fruits and flowers.
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
Plants are positioned on a tray that is slightly tilted. The plant roots hang with the upper part of the root system exposed to air (oxygen). The bottom part of the roots is exposed to nutrient-filled water that is pumped into the trough at the upper (higher) end. The water flows past (down) the other root systems and back into a water reservoir.
Deep Water Culture (DWC)
Plants are positioned on a floating surface with their roots hanging in nutrient-filled water. While a submersible pump supplies oxygen to the water which is picked up by the roots.
water which is picked up by the roots.
Ebb And Flow
Plant roots grow through a medium. Nutrient-filled water is pumped on a frequent time interval to the root zone area and allowed to drain back into a water reservoir.
Top Feeder
Plant roots grow through a Plant roots grow through a medium. The growing medium allows for air (oxygen) to reach the roots. Nutrient-filled water is pumped to the top of the medium, allowed to percolate down to the root zone, and then drained back to a water reservoir.
BENEFITS OF HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS
Enhanced Plant Yields
Hydroponic plants produce a greater yield as in a hydroponic system, plants are more densely spaced together compared to the size of land that would be needed to grow the same number of plants. Also, in a hydroponic system many of the elements that can enhance plant growth are optimized and better controlled.
Less Water
Hydroponic systems use as much as 90% less water than traditional field crop watering methods, because water in a hydroponic system is captured and reused, rather than allowed to run off and drain to the environment.
Locally Grown
Indoor hydroponic systems allow plants to grow almost anywhere all year round.
Less Space
Hydroponic systems come in a variety of designs including vertical stacking systems that take up a small amount of space.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE TALKING ABOUT
Shoheb Aktar
Fantastic Team
"Such a fantastic team, they even taught us how we could help take action for the climate by utilising various hydroponic systems. "
Ms. Abby Falero
Helped alot
"Growhub installed a NFT hydroponics system at our education institution and it helped us teach students about how plants grow locally."
