Hydroponics | Automated Hydroponics

Hydroponics is a CSS library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Raspberry Pi, Arduino applications. Hydroponics has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Terrestrial plants may be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, or the roots may be supported by an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel.The nutrients in hydroponics can come from an array of different sources; these can include but are not limited to byproduct from fish waste, duck manure, or commercial fertilisers. [1]. Growing with hydroponics comes with many advantages, the biggest of which is a greatly increased rate of growth in your plants. With a proper setup, your plants will mature up to 25% faster and produce up to 30% more than the same plants grown in soil. [2]. Plants in a hydroponic system grow more quickly because they have food and water available to them all the time. They produce bigger crops because they can devote their energy to producing their crop rather than producing large roots such as would be needed in soil to seek out water and nutrients. Hydroponically-grown plants have smaller root systems because the roots do not need to go out looking for nutrients and water. All of this is possible through careful control of the nutrient solution and pH levels. A hydroponic system will also use 70-90% less water than soil based plants because the system is enclosed, which results in less evaporation. Hydroponics is better for the environment because it reduces waste and pollution from soil runoff. [2].
