This book shows you exactly how to build, grow, and manage unique hydroponic systems.

The book is concise and informative, leaking the biggest secrets to having your fully functioning 21st-century farming system: Hydroponic Garden.

No soil? No sunlight? No problem. For any plant to achieve its maximum genetic potential to produce its engineered beautiful foliage, flowers, or berries, it must be supplied with everything it needs in the right proportions and at the right time. This is possible with the science of hydroponics by applying adequate feeding and watering regimens, providing environmental control, and sufficient quality lighting supply.

For different people, the idea of growing a perfect plant has different significances. For example, the ideal plant may be described by an orchid fanatic as being of some unusual variety, color, or symmetry. The ideal plant for a commercial tomato grower may be a variety that proliferates, avoids disease, and yields delicious fruit with a long shelf life.

The orchid grower doesn't look to produce orchids the same way the tomato grower does. But in both situations, both can achieve unrivaled success by using hydroponics by applying the principles you'll learn in this book.
