Hydroponic Gardening

Hydroponic gardening is growing plants without soil, by using a nutrient-rich water solution for providing essential nutrients directly to the plant roots. This technique enables plants to grow faster and in a more controlled environment, as it removes soil-based gardening issues like pests, weeds, and soil-borne diseases. Hydroponic systems can be set up indoors or outdoors, and hence are very versatile for urban gardening, greenhouses, or space-limited environments. By using artificial light and control over the water and nutrient levels, hydroponics enables growing crops year-round, regardless of weather conditions.

The certification assess you in the various techniques like  nutrient film technique (NFT), deep water culture (DWC), and aeroponics, for different crops types or available spaces. The certification validates your knowledge of ensuring that the plants receive all necessary elements, including water, oxygen, and a balanced mixture of macro and micronutrients.
