Chapter 6: Water Maintenance, Garden Expansion, and More: Tips From the Experts on Hydroponics

Now that you know a bit more about how to take care of a garden, it’s time to go over some tips. Now, there are a few things of note when it comes to a hydroponic garden, and these are important to see. Taking care of your garden is what you need to do, and this chapter will give you the best tips on how to get the most out of your hydroponic garden so it will be successful.

Water Maintenance

Maintaining water is one of key factors in a hydroponic garden. You might be starting off, and giving your plants the right water, but they’re not growing. However, there are a few tips that can help you with this.

If the soil is still wet, don’t water. Sometimes, these hydroponic gardens take a bit more time in terms of growth that they don’t grow as fast and absorb the water. Typically, you should make sure that it is getting the right nutrients, and you should make sure that it’s not getting overwatered.

Ensure that the humidity is taken care of at all times. Different plants need different humidity levels, so it’s important to note that some plants will need more and less. Do take time to research your plants so that you’re not giving them the wrong care.

If you’re using chlorinated tap water in a reservoir, you should fill the reservoir or mixing bin and let the water sit for a day to help get rid of the chlorine. You should try to get rid of as much of it as possible, because the chlorine doesn’t help with plant growth.

You should also look into getting a timer for the water pump. Usually, an all-purpose timer is one of the best for this. You should get a 15 amp timers because they last longer for barely a dollar more. They should typically get a dial one rather than the digital ones, since the battery can be turned off if there is a power outage. You should look for the settings that you need, and you should look to see if there is a 15-minute setting on there to help you. These are essential because with many of these systems, they need a certain amount of water each day, so you should get a pump timer to give the plant adequate water.

You should also look at the various temperatures to see if they need to be watered a lot, or if they are fine with only a little bit. For many different hydroponic plants, they don’t’ need to be watered every single day, but rather once a week, or even a few times a week. The low-maintenance is what will help the plant grow even faster.
