Brutally honest course on science & business of Hydroponics.

In this video we will understand what is hydroponics and history of hydroponics in details.

In this chapter we will dive deep into understanding, why we are doing hydroponics? and why do we even need it?

This chapter covers list of all hydroponics types available and some of the new methods being tested around the world. This video is most important video and it will help you make choice between what kind of hydroponic system we should follow.

With new science there are always some myths, in this chapter we will break some of the myths and understand facts behind them.

Many times we find people confused between hydroponics and aquaponics. In this chapter we will dive deep into understanding both of them and make a informed choice what we are going to pursue and why.

Before starting hydroponic project we need to do some inspections where we are starting the project. Land inspection is one of them. This chapter is all about land inspection we need to consider before starting hydroponic project.

Water is most crutial element in hydroponics and we need to make sure water we are going to use for our setup passes few tests, this chapter is all about water inspection we need to conduct.

Once we are done with land and water inspection, now we move towards weather conditions inspection this is important to decide longitivity of our setup and help us foresee any problems we might face in future due to climate change.

In this chapter we get overview of key factors we are going to discuss.

Lets understand about sunlight and its importance in our setup. We will discuss about photosynthesis process in detail and understand relation between sunlight and starch production in plants.

Polyhouse or greenhouse or shadenet, it is known by various names in different part of the world. We will understand about its requirement and how to select one, we will see what are the benifits we get in terms of vegetative growth and climate control by using polyhouse.

There are two types of polyhouses, we will understand about them and see which one we should pick according to our need and climate around us.

We have broke hydroponic setup into three parts as frames, pipes and netpots. In this chapter we will understand about Frames and how to design our own frame to get maximum production in limited area. After this chapter we will find out why designing our own frame is best cost saving mechanism then buying a readymade structure.

In this chapter we will understand about pipes, function of pipes and how it works in system.

Now we come to deciding size of netcups and how it affects plant growth. We will also understand how netcup size gives us options of crop we can produce in our setup.

In this chapter we will understand about inert media available for hydroponics and how to utilize it. We will understand when to use what innert media and we will also understand how this inert media works in general and why it is required for healthy plant growth.

This chapter is all about trays available arounf us. This trays are important for creating seedlings and help us planning and managing seeds at small space with great efficiency. We will understand how to select trays according to plant and germination duration.

This video is all about filling up tray will coco-coir and puting our seeds for germination. We will understand basics of tray filling and what are the steps we need to follow in order to get maximum germination.

In recent years hydroponic community has found alternative to coco-coir in same price range, it's oasis cube. We will underand how oasis cubes can be used for germination of seeds in this chapter. We will also see why most of hydroponic growers are making shift towards oasis cube.

By now we know ph of water is important for healty plant growth, in this chapter we will understand how exactly pH affects plant growth and we will understand how to manage them in most cost effective manner.

This is a practical chapter of how to measure pH using pH meter.

In this chapter we will understand, how EC(Electric Conductivity) of water affects plants and how we can control EC in our setup.

This is a practical chapter of how to measure ECusing EC meter.

This section is dedicated to fertilizers in hydroponics.

Do you know fertilizers in hydroponics are different then our regular fertilizers?

In this chapter we will understand about hydroponic fertilizers and how they are used in hydroponic system. Here we will also understand concept of mother stock and how creating a mother stock helps us managing fertilizers more effectively.

This chapter is all about creating tank A and tank B.

We will understand why we even need to seperate our fertilizers in two different tanks.
