Example of a small hydroponic system for cannabis cultivation. Hydroponic cultivation generally occurs in greenhouses or indoors, although there is no practical obstacle to growing outdoors. In general, it consists of a non-soil medium exposed to a nutrient and water flow. These two cannabis plants are being grown in a DWC (deep water culture ...
Inside an ebb-and-flow hydroponic system employing individual buckets connected by fill/drain hoses. The earliest published work on growing terrestrial plants without soil was the 1627 book Sylva Sylvarum or 'A Natural History' by Francis Bacon, printed a year after his death. As a result of his work, water culture became a popular research ...
Containerized transplants or plugs allow separately grown plants to be transplanted with the roots and soil intact. Typically grown in peat pots (a pot made of compressed peat ), soil blocks (compressed blocks of soil), paper pots or multiple-cell containers such as plastic packs (four to twelve cells) or larger plug trays made of plastic or ...
English: A simple diagram of a plant leaf cell, labelled with numbers. It shows the cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, mitochondria, permanent vacuole, and chloroplasts. Note going down the left the numbers are not sequential, this is to match the numbering on others in the series.
In soil, the optimum pH for the plant is 6.3 to 6.8. In hydroponic growing, the nutrient solution is best at 5.2 to 5.8, making Cannabis well-suited to hydroponics because this pH range is hostile to most bacteria and fungi. [citation needed]
Cell wall-degrading enzymes: These are used to break down the plant cell wall in order to release the nutrients inside and include esterases, glycosyl hydrolases, lyases and oxidoreductases. [ 5 ] Toxins : These can be non-host-specific, which damage all plants, or host-specific, which cause damage only on a host plant.
Environmental impact of cannabis cultivation includes all the environmental issues which occur as a result of cannabis cultivation. Cannabis agriculture is a massive industry in its scope and extent, yet its environmental impact is much less researched than comparable agricultural products produced at this scale. [ 1 ]
Semi-Hydroponics (Semi-Hydro or S/H) was the first passive hydroponic technique utilized for orchids, originating in the early 1990s, using Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) as a medium in solid-bottomed containers, into which one or two, small-diameter holes were placed in the sidewall, setting the depth of the internal reservoir.
