| | | | General Hydroponics
To take forward the revolutionary concept of Hydroponics, General Hydroponics was established in 1970's by a group of innovative scientists, engineers and technicians. Today General hydroponics is a sparkling name in the hydroponics industry. Hydroponic cultivation by NASA on the International Space Station is done with assistance from General Hydroponics. They have factories all over North America and Europe.
General Hydroponics products are used for hi-tech gardening, commercial crop production and for agricultural experiments in laboratories and Universities across the globe. The scientist and nutritionists at General Hydroponics are currently developing new hydroponic systems and perfecting nutrient formulas. The Farm Division at General Hydroponics is testing many varieties of plants for growth rate, yield, flavor, nutrition, appearance, shelf life and hydroponic viability. Various techniques for growing top-quality crops of higher nutritional value are in experimental stages. These techniques and nutrient formulae will enhance yield, flavor and vitamin & mineral content in food crops.
General Hydroponics uses three basic hydroponics techniques. These are as follows:
• Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), in which roots of plants are suspended in nutrient mixture containing trough.
• Aeroponics includes suspension of plants in mist and nutrients are supplied through an air pump.
• Aggregate system: The roots of plants are placed between inert materials like clay pebbles or foam chips dipped in nutrient solution.
Nutrient Solutions mixed in water are the key growth source for the plants grown hydroponically. Standard fertilizers are simply inadequate for them. Thus specially formulated fertilizers like General Hydroponics Nutrients are used for them. These are hydroponic fertilizer mixtures used under pH buffer of pH range 5 to 6. General Hydroponics Nutrients are reliable, adaptable and pH buffered hydroponic nutrients. NASA uses their Flora-Series for space flight experiments.
The nutrient mixture is changed every two weeks and during this time, to avoid the burning of plant roots by increasing the nutrients concentration, more water is added to the plant.
