Is Hydroponics Good for Growing Cannabis?

Hydroponics is a popular method of growing cannabis because it helps accelerate growth and maximize yield. For many indoor marijuana growers and organic marijuana growers, cannabis plants are the preferred choice. They grow in inert, sterile medium rather than soil.

Because Hydroponics system is easy to set up, it’s space efficient, and without the variability that comes with soil, you can fine-tune your plants’ nutrients for every part of the growth cycle. There are other benefits

1 – high quality growth

By controlling the pH level of oxygen-containing nutrients in water, plants absorb more nutrients and yield better. The preferred pH range for most plants is 5.5 to 6.5 pH.

2 – good growth rate

Compared with soil tillage, soilless tillage has a better growth rate because of its fixed climate control and nutrients. In soilless farming, the roots of plants do not look for nutrients in the soil, but directly obtain nutrients when the roots are in contact with water.

3 – simple and effective transplantation

Hydroponic seeds can grow in many different media and can be easily transplanted into the hydroponic system simply by putting them in a pot, rather than pulling them out of the soil.

4 – less time and less labor

Compared with soil farming, hydroponic system has less work, which can save time and labor required to maintain the farm. Therefore, labor costs can be reduced.

5 – environmental control

Marijuana has relatively high requirements for temperature and humidity. These can be better controlled in indoor closed planting rooms, so marijuana can grow better.
